    FS: Christy's Adventurer size 7/56cm

    Well, this was the first fur felt I ever bought, around the time I joined COW. I always preferred the block and felt color of Christy's over the fed, even though Akubra uses better felt. Anyhow, between my HJ and Fortune and Glory, I have my Indy hat itch scratched. And, I'm moving soon, so...

    50's Stetson Nutria Quality western

    This one was misidentified as a 7 by the eBay seller despite the two size tags. Thought about refurbing down to my size but would rather offer it up. It is actually 7 1/4, 3.5" brim, 5.5" open crown, 3ply band. The sweat is about 1 /3rd detached. Bob at Black Sheep saw pictures of the hat and...

    FS: 60's(?) Knox Foxhound size 7

    creased height 3 7/8" (from brim break to the 'valley' in the front pinch, peaks at about 4 1/4"), 2 1/8" underwelt brim. Interesting brown Heather long hair finish and woven band. There's one slight imperfection in the band visible in the first picture, but it's less readily apparent in person...

    FS: Akubra Fed IV carbon grey

    Haven't worn this in years, and the crown is just a smidgen too tall for my face. And now I need the space! Size 56 that is tight, as Akubras are after they're broken in. Asking $65 + shipping

    50's(?) Dobbs 20 Stingy, navy 6 7/8 - 7

    This one doesn't get worn ever, and I could use the space. Very clean Dobbs Stingy brim. The color is more blue in person. This is tagged 6 7/8, but I had it stretched (and reflanged) at Paul's Hat works here in SF with their machine which also stretches the crown, so no bulge at the ribbon, but...

    Mick Fleetwood: I am a wearer of hats!

    FS: Panama Bob Indiana & Royal Stetson OR clone, Sz 7

    Bought both of these on a whim and have decided that I'd rather support HATCO/Stetson's open crown revival (selling a vintage Stetson to have funds for a modern Stetson?!? I know, it's a crazy, crazy world). The Panama Bob Indiana model is a no frills hat, not a superfine weave, only a...

    FS: Knox "Slalom" stingy in Mink Brown 7 1/4

    Picked this one up off the 'bay, and had it in mind for a conversion. Sold to me as a size 7, but when it arrived, the 7 1/4 tag was right there. So this one has got to go unfortunately. Kind of a weird mashup between a Alpine style hat and a trilby/fedora look. Mink brown color, the model...

    NPR: What Killed Men's Hats?

    I hope this isn't a re-post. Andrew Sullivan had this in his Daily Dish blog right now and it seemed like some here might find it interesting. I myself had never heard this particular hypothesis...it's usually the Kennedy one...

    F/S: Stetson Temple, Mink, Sz 7

    Thinning out the herd to (hopefully) make room for an Optimo. I brought this hat on a 10 day excursion to China and have worn it sparingly since. It's pretty much like new. The first picture best captures the true color of the felt: Has been treated with water repellent that I got from...

    Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)

    I don't want to stir the hornet's nest, but Mr. Delk posted an update today over at COW that may be of interest to any member here awaiting a hat: http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=51944

    Black Sheep Hat Works

    So here's the story behind this hat. Like many, I was absolutely captivated by Johnny Depp's Optimo Ox Blood hat in the Public Enemies movie. I love the color of that felt. Unfortunately, $600 is just out of my price range (although I'm sure they're worth every penny). So I began a quest to...

    WTB Ox Blood fedora

    I'm still considering just pulling the trigger on an Optimo, but maybe I can save myself some coin if I ask around here. I'm a size 56 in off the rack sizing. Anybody have anything out there in an Ox Blood that resembles Optimo's? Open to styles, but ideally looking for something with not...
