The US Mail is killing me. The hat started a day west of me, then a few hours south, then a day east, and now my carrier is later than usual.

I picked this up last night Adam Marston 7 3/8
I have a beautiful Adam Marston in 7 1/4 in Cloud (color) that I love, but I just can't keep it stretched to fit me. I think I'm going to put it up on the trading block since I am getting this one to replace it.

 

[hatophile]

That one looks nice, Rodkins. Adams are nice hats, and don't command the high prices you might pay for Stetsons.

Charlie Huang, the logo imprint on the liner is really fantastic. Wow! :coffee:

DEMON HANOVER Just won this one...looks quite interesting though it may need a bit of a cleaning and a re-block! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=250729407069&si=8rjeaXFN0vGC64y2AkT88UpG%252Fg8%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2868wt_1144

Nice. I think Rick Blain (or maybe Daniel Jones) has written a lot about those.

That is a steal.

fabulous Martinelli gay-prince-y (ish,like?), 7 1/8. I think this one out-Gay-Princed the Gay Prince - not that there's anything wrong with that.

What a great looking hat.

 

[Rick Blaine]

Nice. I think Rick Blain (or maybe Daniel Jones) has written a lot about those.

yeah, I love it & have been looking for another (as well as the neckties Mr. Hoyt made) for a while. This one was a bit too small and had pre existing condition issues (eg- torn band, Razor sharp pinch- no offence cb.) that I would've made worse if I stretched it. Killer hat w/ a great backstory though.
