Thank You everyone. I have grown a liking of wide edge binding after getting this hat. I'm also thinking of getting it copied in grey by Art sometime in the future I like it so much.lol

The brim binding is a little more than 5/8 1 on top and bottom. I am extremely happy with it. I find it very different, classy, and bold( Thank for the link Feraud). It is very similar to the Stetson Vogue JtL, when are those from?

Thanks Jimmy. Yes Nick Charles, there are some numbers as follows Style:1052 Color: Buff Price $10 To Duplicate:1052 Has a wind trolley also, but it fell off, haven't gotten around to fixing it.

I'm out in Los Angeles. I don't usually see anyone wearing any *real* hats unless I go to a vintage store of some sort. I rarely see someone wearing vintage or of good quality. I see lots of *hip* hats though. Its not usually too hot this time of year, so I can wear my felts, I wear a Milan in...

I found this fedora at the Vintage Expo In Santa Monica, it came with a red Thoroughbred hatbox, but isn't a Thoroughbred. Here are some pictures of it. It says "His Excellency- World's Premier Hat" and the crest at the top is a D and an H. Disney maybe? There is makers label inside the...

I have spent around $175 on my collection. $60 for a vintage unknown(I think Disney 1940's fedora), $50 for a mid 50's Stetson Royal Deluxe with a back-bow, and $55 for a modern Milan. $15 for a cap.

Yup, adding machine ribbon or any generic half inch ribbon. I Buy them at Office max, and re-spool them onto the original spools. Whatever you do, don't throw out the spools! You can also buy ribbons from www.mytypewriter.com if you don't want your fingers to get all inky, and don't mind waiting.

Gah! Its been while, Ive just ordered a new photo uploader for my camera(it uses a mini HD...) Just to warn you, its in pitiful condition. Going on a vacation to Optimo soon!

There really isn't anything distinguishable other than the liner and sweatband. I remember reading somewhere that the crown and brim size are slightly larger than an Open Road but I'm not sure. I totally forgot about this thread, Ill get around to pictures and measurements.

A pretty neat find. Not exactly Golden Era, but who hasn't ever wanted to ride one of these! http://www.hiwheel.com/

Sounds good, Ill try to check this place out, always looking for a vintage lid!

That's a nice suit, good thing you kept it.

Nice suit. Pretty hefty sum. I found a 40's Kuppenheimer DB Pinstripe jacket for 70 bucks. Any info on this company anyone.

Interesting hats, saw some nice ones, a few fancy looking homburgs and some fedoras. :offtopic: Its funny because I found my dad in this picture. He is infront of Obama, at the foot of the Telecasting tower, taking pictures behind the lady with the purple sweater.

Thanks D-man
