What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
My older brother used to take me to the Sportatorium for wresting nearly every week. Got to see Fritz von Erich master of the Iron Claw in his prime. Note that Fritz started out as a villain type and later changed over to his "good guy" role. The Sportatorium also hosted the Big D Jamboree, a... -

Trip to Italy
Well just got back home today from our Italy trip. The good news is I loved Italy! Great people, great food and lots of things to do and see. The bad news is I was unable to make it to any hat shops due to the itinerary pacing. We did visit the Spanish steps while in Rome, but did not find the... -

Trip to Italy
I agree I need more time. The wife got a great price for the trip with a travel agency, but I want to go back at some point and do an extended stay, possibly exploring some smaller areas. Italian language lessons first as I can't imagine English will be common outside the larger cities. -
Trip to Italy
Good advice. I will have 3 1/2 days in Rome so that means some time to eat outside of the tourist areas and do some neighborhood exploring. -
Trip to Italy
"I would make a point of avoiding all the hot spots" I will have some free time away from the tourist tours. I plan to explore neighborhoods with that time, hence the original question. All of the advice so far has convinced me to concentrate on enjoying the culture and experience, If I... -
Trip to Italy
"Better to spend time visiting cities than chasing chimeras" Probably the best advice. Italy was always on my bucket list, so I hope to make the best of the short time in each city. -

Trip to Italy
Many thanks to both Daniele and milandro. The information is very useful, if somewhat disappointing. Yes we are hitting the most "touristy" cities as part of a travel package. I will try at least some of the extensive list given (very much appreciate the effort Daniele) and report back if I... -
Trip to Italy
The wife and I will be taking a trip to Italy in mid-March. Cities will be Rome, Florence and Venice. Any tips from our Italian or European members on how/where I might look for vintage hats? I'll stop in local hats stores of course but not likely to indulge in a modern hat, but who knows... -

What hat are you waiting for today?
Nice set of hats, but hopefully they're NOT on a bed! Some of us old time folks in the US still have superstitions. -

Price seems optimistic and you should have posted in the Classified section, not here. More info on the actual hat would be useful too, like the correct size (6 7/8 vs 7) and dimensions. Looks like a 1960's hat to me.- Mcox47

Stetson "The Sovereign Twenty"
Been some time since I've seen anything with the Sanger Brothers name on it. Used to be my mother's favorite store in Dallas. Your time range should be right. Sanger was merged with A. Harris stores to become Sanger-Harris when both companies were bought out. I think that happened in 1960.
