Royal Stetson Vitafelt, which I sold but found its way back after the buyer opened a case on ebay claiming that the tagged 7 1/8 hat fit like a 6 3/4.

I decided to keep it rather than go through the hassle of relisting it. It is a nice little homburg.

Alright guys! I told Tim AKA Cane Rod Maker I wanted something casual that could be worn with jeans and a T-Shirt. He knocked this out of the park! Brown Bunny fur that feels awesome! The ribbon is playboy-esque color of ribbon is serpent

Justin those are some beautiful hats. I thought of you the other day. I was hat shopping at an antique mall and they had a beautiful early bowler for sale. Could not remember your hat size. Only catch was it was a local hatter's custom made from what looked like the 1920s. Impossible really to put a price on.

Thank you fellas!!

Wow Teach! Thank you for that! I am usually a 7 1/8- 7 1/4. The antique stores here are hit and miss. There is one with quite a few hats, but sadly, they are all a tad bit newer than what I prefer!

I came across this Dobbs Twenty light weight. It's in fair condition. I gave it a naphtha bath and it cleaned up pretty well, although there is some fading around the ribbon and it looks like the ribbon has been repositioned. There are no labels left so the only identifier is on the sweatband. It needs some stiffener as the felt is very soft and floppy and the brim won't hold a shape. Maybe after I do that it will be something I can wear regularly since the felt is still in good shape overall.
