That Pilgrim is Sweet, I still haven't found one in my size yet. You found yourself a beaut.
As far as that green Whippet goes.....that's the 2nd time it was listed. It didn't even sell the 1st time around. I passed on in it because of the Ribbon replacement...........

Indeed, the replacement ribbon was the reason I passed initially. The second time around my strict criteria mysteriously vanished!
Boy, I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals.

You still got an Amazing deal.....it is a Whippet after all.
I really like that Lion hat, nice Pug.

Almost certainly fur felt, and a high quality hat.

Complete gamble on this one ... probably wool and too small ... but it sure looks pretty for $ 9.50
"This auction features a derby style hat that insider label states "FIELDCRAFT" "The Store for Men Marshall Field & Company Chicago" The inside band is marked "Marshall Field & Company" No size is listed, but the circumfence of the hat is just over 21" This hat is in good condition and comes in a "Champ Hats" box. Box is in fair/good condition."
Looks like a never-bashed fedora to me, but the image quality is a bit lacking.
We'll see!!!

anyone have a ggod method for removing nasty smoke smell from a hat? My 12 yr old son just bought his 1st vintage cavanagh on ebay. There was no mention of smoke smell in the listing. The thing reeks like old cigars. I,m a die hard non smoker so I'm at a loss for what to use. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Doing my part to bring fine fedoras back in style.
Stick it outside to air for couple of days, steam it, then put it back out for a couple more. That should take care of all or most of it, at least it has in my experience.
I would use [and have used] the coleman fuel ,white gas method of cleaning.
You can run a search here but the lowdown is take the hat - put it in a bucket with a lid - pour a gallon or so of Coleman fuel over the hat in the bucket - put on the lid - shake it up a few times over a 3 -6 -24 hour period [according to how bad the hat is] - take the hat out - hang it up
DO ALL OF THIS OUTSIDE!!!!!!
I have done this to many of my hats with no ill effect at all.

Sorry, it's always a little bit sad to me when I see a beautiful hat in my size headed for the stretcher.
Great buy on a sweet lid though!
Yes please
Cream no sugar
Thank you
