    Trade for a Weird Whippet? 7 1/8

    This is kind of a curiosity—a grayish green Whippet that’s been reblocked so it is 5 7/8 open crown and very steep sided. With a very shallow C-crease it looks almost straight vertical all around, except in front where you get a slight reverse taper. With a diamond crease (lower photos) it...

    Has anyone here interacted with this Chinese custom hat-maker? I just found them on Instagram—looks nice, I’m curious to learn more. Copied link and a few images below. https://www.instagram.com/junshat?igsh=MWZiYjY4ZDkxb2s0dQ==

    The Home Stretch

    I don't generally recommend trying to stretch hats up a size. The risks are considerable--popping all the stitching in the sweatband, tearing a dry sweatband, distorting the brim so it never looks good again, ending up with a hat that looks too small even if it fits, or just ending up with a...

    I’ve got to get these out of my apartment. They’re 70 year old cardboard boxes, none of them in great shape, yet it would be a shame to throw them out. Message me if you want them. Thanks, David

    FS: Beautiful 1950s Aquanized Stetson - Blue Gray - 7 1/8+

    This is a really beautiful Canadian Stetson--very hard to capture the blue gray color, the last picture of it in the box is the only one that comes close. Other than a small stain on the underside of the brim at the front, this hat looks NOS. It is a little big for me--somewhere between 7 1/8...

    FS: 1940s Brown Resistol Fedora--A whole lot of issues but still a beautiful hat--7 1/8

    I'm posting four hats today, if the site will let me. The moths have pretty seriously had their way with this hat, and the sweatband is coming undone and it is generally old and tired. But it's still wearale and still a beautiful hat for wearing around the neighborhood, I just have too many...

    Randall Renshaw Restorations

    It's about time @Randall Renshaw got his own thread here, now that he is starting to take on projects from other loungers. We've all admired the work he's posted of his own hats, but I'm telling you this guy is one of the greats and a fantastic resource for anyone that needs a hat restored. I...

    WTB—Gray Whippet 7 1/8 with 2 1/2 Brim

    I know it’s a long shot but I’ve been on the lookout for a medium gray whippet with a black ribbon for years now and it hasn’t come my way. I’ve seen versions with both a matching gray brim binding and a gold or tan binding and I’d be thrilled with either. Please give me a shout if you’ve got...

    FS/FT: Sears Fieldmaster Long Half Belt - Size 42/44 - $150 - SOLD

    I bought this from @ton312 a few weeks ago. It's in great shape other than some wear to the lining (see photos) and one button missing from the back belt. Zippers work well. Very comfortable knockabout jacket. Tagged as 42. Unfortunately, at a skinny 6'2" and 157 pounds, the length is fine...

    Gray Stetson Royal De Luxe Beater 7 1/8

    This hat has been worn a lot and has lots of condition issues -- fading, staining and small spots on the felt, sweat stains at the front of the ribbon and some popped stitches on the bow, sweatband comfortable but cracked and the seam has been resewn. That said, the sweatband is comfortable...
