Question on price.
price is in the eye of the beholder , your know what it costs new , a second hand hat will always cost less. It is true that there are less larger sizes around but also less people who buy them , so the premium may not always be warranted. A 62 Akubra was offered for over a year in the NL and... -
Is this topper worth it?
This is a folding top hat, or a collapsible opera hat , unless you specifically need or look for foldable hats for whatever reason (the folding quality was appreciated in times past because you took the hat with you instead of leaving it at the wardrobe and collapsed it to not impede vision... -

The wrist watch.
I am not sure that watches in the '30 and '40 were at all large (in general) , in fact , one of the thing that I don't like about vintage watches is that they look very small on my rather large wrist. I have a '50 Omega , unusually large for the times, because it was the first watch which my...- milandro

the Bolivian , Cholitas , " Borsalino"
frankly speaking , all the hats I have fit me and can be used , although, admittedly, I don't use the bowler or the boater much. I can't consider myself a " collector" but an extended " user". I understand that some collectors of clothing and accessories would necessarily buy and keep things... -
the Bolivian , Cholitas , " Borsalino"
Thanks, the ones I see are generally made rather poorly. Some claim the felt to be of Alpaca wool, but I have my sincere doubts. The cholas are also of incredibly small sizes because they are meant to be worn tilted on top of the head , so, frankly, aside their novelty value, I wouldn't know why... -
the Bolivian , Cholitas , " Borsalino"
Time and time again I see these hats, there is also one or two " en passant" mentions in a thread here but the history isn't corroborated by enough material to be separated from the legend. These hats are stamped Borsalino Calidad superior and they say that once upon a time they were really... -

The wrist watch.
do I need any other watch? No I don't and yet sometimes you buy stuff you don't really need. I bought one of these Lorsa watches, it is a rather unknown France brand ( L'Horlogerie Savoisienne) they closed shop some time ago and now their remaining watches are being sold by a German company ...- milandro

DECATISING
it very much depends on the hat I have undergone some serious wetting of my hats and the two worst ones were one with an Italian hat made of hare's felt ( can't remember the brand I gave it away) , I was in Paris , It got really wet, but was in shape , we went to eat at a famous restaurant at... -

Trip to Italy
flat caps have always been " the headgear" in Sicily and it is not strange that you found some at a street market , but they would have been new. sure, adventure and discovery are a good thing even if applied to hats, on the other hand, with limited amount of time to spend and an incredible... -

Trip to Italy
I second the opinion given above. Italy is not big on vintage clothes already and even less so for hats. In the days of my far youth second hand clothes were frowned upon our parents and we had to go for the VERY few street markets where you could find secondhand clothes which were all... -

Short Brimmed Cowboy
no, you find all sorts , large small, and in some cases my 3,5" brim is even bigger than they had Some liked short , some long, as we do today -
Short Brimmed Cowboy
With a brim of 3,5" my Resitol Ohio has plenty of " cowboy hat" credentials overshooting, and by quite a bit an open road, for example. Anyway the assumption that a hat with a very large brim was in the cowboy heyday " the hat" is faulty, history tells us that the most used hat by most cowboys...
