    B-3 replica up for grabs

    I'm a hat guy, not a jacket guy, but recenty acquired a B-3 -type jacket that has no labels, tags, etc. The leather is pretty decent and in great shape, the fleece is a bit matted, so it has a bit of age on it, the Talon zipper has a glitch in its continuity, and it has two regular pockets up...

    Resistol Regent from eBay

    Just received this one and am thrilled. My apologies to Fedoralover, since we both lowballed this one, :rolleyes: but we all need a good catch (steal) once in a while... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180000841400 I have come to favor these old Resistols; they are firm...

    The Stratoliner Society

    Since we now have a well established and popular Open Road Guild, How about a Stratoliner Society??? Maybe the Whippet Breed? A lot of pics and info on style-specific threads??:eusa_clap

    Another Open Road Pretender?

    Well, I can't keep up with the bidding on the real OR's, but occasionally a crapshoot deal happens. At this price, I'll accept that it will need a half-size stretch (maybe), and that there may be a couple of moth nibbles, assuming all else is well. After all, there aren't many $20 OR's out...

    Borsalino for $51; Deal or a Dud?

    Just won this one on eBay. Whaddya think??? I have been tracking newer and vintage Borsalinos on eBay for several months, and anything under $100 seems to be the exception rather than the rule. So I was actually surprised when I won this one. Being the gambler that I am when it comes to...

    Hat shops in the DC area???

    I'll be heading 'up home' to the DC area next week and would like to drop in to a lid shop or two...any recommendations? Any that have a block'n'clean-it-while-U-wait service? I have seen some vintage hats and threads from Raleigh's, Steven-Windsor, Hecht's, etc. Are there any traditional...

    $900 Stetson on eBay!!!

    I don't know if anyone else just had to stop and look at this one, but if I were a real deep-pocketed collector, this would be veerrrryyy interesting, especially with the box and documentation. Probably wouldn't matter that it's not my size!:rolleyes...

    Removing hat box ring from the brim

    Just received a close-to-new, in correct box, Stetson 3X Selv-Edge , with the main detractor being a fairly pronounced box-ring on the brim. Any methods for minimizing the unsightliness on a medium gray felt? I have brushed lightly as with normal dusting, but did not want to use a stiff bristled...

    Wind Cords???

    I feel that the presence of a wind cord lends a distinctive touch to a classic lid, but I have a couple with cords that seem to be loose; that is, they are noticeably longer than the circumference of the crown at the intersection with the brim. It's not really that bad, the worst one wants to...

    Vintage labels and hat dating

    I have seen a few threads that touched on certain hats' labels, but I was wondering if anyone has assembled a volume concerning the trademarks, logos, and style of the popular hat brands. In the world of guitars and amplifiers, it is easy to find tomes about how to identify and determine the age...

    European sizing ???

    I have a Borsalino with no size tag that is imprinted with the name of a haberdasher in Zurich. The hat seems to be an American size 7 1/4 - 7 3/8, but the production tag (with serial number) has "5 1/2" in large numerals. Any idea on which 'standard' this is sized...
