Ok, got the white one for cheap. Now the learning will begin---I suppose. LOL I really want to see if it is a mode edge.

Yep, the dang thing won't fit but I just want to check it out. It probably really was a "gangster's hat." He would have to be to get away with wearing it. LOL Do you know what head size Capone was?

It would fit Havershaw though. Hint, Hint.
I wish it would fit me.

I think I should stop posting links to Ebay items.
I think I inflated the price of the Banana Republic hat... it's over $7 now and rising!

You're kidding!
Wait, let me look. Yep, $7.50. I do not believe anyone here would bid on something like that. You could pick up one of those at a Goodwill or Salvation Army for $1. Nah, it can't be someone here. This is a classy joint.

Yeah, I'm kidding.
for refference i don't put the happy faces up in real life either.
That white Borsy is from Pasadena. That hat's got history.
You're right, I think it would fit Havershaw too (hint hint).

I don't think we are influencing much because this one went without a single bid:

I wish it was my size.

I almost bid on that...but I have a lot of brown hats.
Plus, I just won two Borsalinos in the last week (one of which was brown, yes). I've really slowed down on the hats because I have so many, and I tend to wear the same six all the time, and only wear the others every couple of weeks.

It must be nice to buy a hat sight unseen and be reasonably certain it will fit. With a 7 1/4 long oval to extra long oval head, that just doesn't happen. Yep, the doctor really used the salad tongs on me.

Gee, will a regular 7 3/8 fit? Sometimes if you go to the next size the hat will fit because the circumference of the hat is simply larger.
I have only see one vintage Extra Long Oval and fortunately I did because it was a 7 1/2 Extra Long Oval that fit my regular 7 5/8 head.
That is why I mention choosing the next size. Works for me. Regards to all,

I thought I had it bad with a big head but a "strange head" is really something to contend with. LOL

Gee, the closest I could get was this one:

Its a nice hat with a Guild Edge but still not quite big enough. I suppose you could take it to a hatter and get it fitted if it goes for a reasonable price though.

Thanks for looking, James.
The crown on that one is a little big for my taste.
I'm look for something with a smaller crown and about a 3" brim. Maybe in a pecan color.
We have already had three mornings of frost. It's about time to start thinking of a lid.

Tom

Havershaw, you should try and bid on that Borsy! That hat is really rare.
I would if I were a size 7.
