One that I have had since the hat fever took hold again following my Dad’s death – a Dobbs Twenty ultra-stingy brim fedora. Not green, but “oliverde,” according to the tag inside the sweatband. Sold through Gimbels Mens Store (no city of origin). Picked it up at the local farmers market and...

Rainy weather today, so I wore the hat that I have nicknamed The Beater -- A Dobbs Golden Coach fedora that has seen better days. The inside of it is in like-new condition but the outside has cracked felt in the brim and some discoloring on the front pinch. There is also a wobbly asymmetrical...

Chose the Hardeman stingy brim today. My favorite hat style. Selfie taken in work cubicle.

Actually, I put this ensemble together on Monday, when I converted to Judaism. Wore my Borsalino (Film model), which perfectly complemented my navy pinstriped suit, pink shirt and Madras bowtie. The black Borsalino is fairly new, purchased from the JJ Hatter catalog by my Dad around 2010. Not...

If you go to the official NBC site for their show The Blacklist and check out their shop, it is featuring a saddle (Brown) Stetson Mercury for sale. A stingy brim fedora with lighter colored ribbon. Reddington has worn it in a couple of episodes, although his main hat still is the black...

Withdrawing my bid, too. Kevlar

If you will accept a PO money order for $75, I will take that Stylemaster off your hands. Kevlar

Got it Friday -- WOW! Very minty. Great hat, great price. Many thanks, Roger. Kevin

Hi Roger, I'll take it, please. Just sent you a PM. Kevlar

Thanks! I like it and would keep it if I did not already have enough (inherited) black fedoras -- a Rafaelli that was made in Milan, and a Borsalino Film. Have been trying to sell it on my Etsy site -- Dad and Daughter Hats. We're not big and rich, just small and niche.

Just bought a Dynafelt stingy brim fedora from an Etsy store for less than $50. I knew it was a wool/fur blend and truth be told it feels more like wool and is a tad heavy and stiff. Steel gray with a 1 1/2 in. black ribbon hatband and the usual spray of feathers behind the bow. Hope it...

So Philadelphia it is! I will probably be posting shots of this hat later on.

FINAL PRICE REDUCTION: $150, plus shipping.

City of Origin for Schobel Hat Company? I am confused: I just bought a Schoble hat. In the liner, it says Fifth Avenue New York Since 1886. And yet while doing researrch on the hat I read that the company was started in Philadelphia in 1886 (and closed in 1960). What's the correct answer...
