Thanks for the tip MrBern! Kaufmann's was worth the walk. Now that's an old-school army-navy store. The owner is a really nice guy too. He had the real webbing, and the solid brass roller buckle.

Who makes or sells the best khaki cotton web trouser belt, officer's style - with the solid brass roller buckle? "Surplus" stores now only seem to sell ultracheap stamped plated metal buckles, and even the webbing is cheap looking. Thanks! Joel

Sold!

***PRICE REDUCTION*** Price is now $180. Shipping is still free.

Scot, you can fit one more in. No? lol

Sold! Alan, I don't know the difference between cuts Brett might offer, but these are not the 70's style giant floppy pimp hats. They are the typical newsboy, as far as "cut" goes.

In case you're doubting, there is a lot of life left in that sweatband, and the rest of the hat is immaculate, soft and pliable. And if you're a 7 3/8 long oval, this will be a revelation for you. I have a $500 Optimo that does not fit this well. Check the prices to have a custom hatter make...

In case i wasn't clear enough - you get two caps, delivered to your door, for $50 total. And they look like they're brand new. Brett sells these new for $42 each with shipping - so this is a good deal I'm offering.

This is a great hat, but I need to thin the collection. Royal Stetson, size 7 3/8 long oval - and it hasn't shrunk into a regular oval. 2.5" brim, bound. The felt is in pristine pliable condition - no stains, mothbites, or any other issues. The liner has the original owner's name written on...

It's time to thin out my collection a little... One light brown herringbone tweed, and one medium gray herringbone tweed, B! Wear newsboy 8-panel caps. Suede sweatband, lined, size 7 3/8 (labeled "Large"). Like new condition, only worn a few times, and stored well in a smoke-free home...

I doubt anyone buys a wool felt hat in a hat shop today and thinks, I wish this was more like fur felt.

The attention to detail on some custom hats is superior to vintage; the felt is not, sadly.

Wow, that looks great on you. I had the dk gray Stylemaster; nice hat.

This has never worked for me, long-term. It lasts for a day or so, but eventually is tight again in the front and back, and worse is that the brim then often gets a permanent wobble to it. The only two stable solutions are, 1) the hat is blocked as a true long oval, or 2) An adjustable or...
