    Ponte Rialto Italian boater 7 5/8

    For sale I have a very nice Italian-made boater made by Ponte Rialto Venice. This is a top-quality boater with thick, stiff, heavy woven straw, the way they're supposed to be made. It has a "floating" Bon-Ton-Ivy-type sweatband that makes the hat comfortable to wear and gives it a little leeway...

    ***SOLD*** PanamaBob Cuenca Optimo 7 5/8-7 3/4

    Here is a PanamaBob Cuenca Panama hat in the Optimo style. I bought it from a fellow Lounger earlier this year who had bought it from PanamaBob and then decided that he didn't want it. It came with a very generic hatband with no ribbon, so I added a pleated puggaree, which drastically improved...

    A Pinch in the Rear

    I recently put a rear pinch and dents in my Campdraft, and I like the way it looks. I've seen similar treatments here and there, often in old photos, but searching through past posts didn't turn up too much. I thought I would create a thread dedicated to rear pinches (in hats, of course!) and...

    SOLD: **50's Park Crest silverbelly Open Road/Stratoliner clone, size 7 1/4 - 7 3/8**

    Here is a nice Open Road-style fur felt fedora from a maker I frankly don't know much about, Park Crest Hats, New York. I believe it was a small custom hat maker, and from what I can tell from this one, they made pretty darn good hats. I bought it off eBay because it was marked as 7 3/4, but...

    Sizing advice

    I have my eye on a nice vintage hat from an online seller, and although there is no size marked, the seller did front-to-back and side-to-side measurements and had it listed as being 8.5" by 7". I'm a size 7 3/4, and one of my hats that fits me measures just a hair under 8.5" by just a hair over...

    The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

    Watching it on TCM right now. Dang, that's a nice pork pie. EDIT: Actually it isn't TCM, it's the MGM Channel. I came across it while flipping through channels, and I just automatically assumed it was TCM.

    So...anyone planning on seeing Shutter Island just for the hats?

    I'm a Scorsese fan, but I'm not a big fan of the horror genre, and it looks like a horror movie to me. However, from the previews I've seen, DiCaprio and company are wearing some nice looking fedoras. I'll probably end up seeing it just for that reason, and the fact that it's a Scorsese film...
