I'm trying not to buy hats (no, really). I don't need any more silver-belly OR style hats for example. I keep telling myself to only buy something I don't already have and really want. One of those on the want list for some time has been a brown bowler. This one popped up and was close to my size (I do have a few hats in this 7-3/8 LO size that I can wear). I paid more than I wanted to, but how often do these show up? Not as old as I had hoped (mid-50s would be my guess). Hoping it is a keeper ... and that it is truly a bowler (the auction house said that the crown was not soft/shapable).

Nice Bob… fingers crossed it fits.

I am trying to do the same… but special hats do make it past the defenses. ;)
