It's been a while since I've posted here. Hope everyone who remembers me--and those who don't--are well. I have a lot of hat blocks, flanges and tools that I used to utilize when I was collecting and needed to refurbish my hats. I've moved on and, while still wearing a fedora every day, I no...
Thinning my collection and this one is kind of amazing. The felt is soft like vintage Borsalino hats can only be. It's in immaculate condition throughout, except for a small scuff in the sweatband and some light stains in the liner. This hat is the quintessential travel fedora that, back in the...
(Brim cutter has sold)
The foot tollicker is also in perfect condition, this tool is used to shape the break like between crown and brim.
$100 for the tollicker shipped in the USA. Paypal.
Thanks

Both form the late 90s and both 71/8.
The Borsalino is the "Como" model but was fitted with a nicer sweatband--that reads "Torino"-- and liner at a later time. This one has a 2 1/2 brim with whipped-stitching on the edge, a brown 1/14 ribbon with wind cord. Crown measures a little over 4 1/2...
Modern felt (bought it in 2011) made in Italy by Guerra for venerable house Worth&Worth in NYC.
A lovely charcoal color with a hint of dark green and matching ribbon. The felt has a beautiful hand and it's in great condition.
It's the model called Venezia and it's a 71/4 (fits like a tight 1/4...
SOLD Nothing to do with Walt. This beautiful silverbelly fedora is a killer. Tagged 71/8. Brim is 2 1/2 with an original-to-the-hat champagne binding. Ribbon is a gorgeous charcoal with green undertones courtesy of Optimo in Chicago's great folks who cleaned the hat and did the trimming.
SOLD Stetson Belmont in great condition. Felt free of moths or blemishes. The sweatband, however is split in the back but it doesn't affect wearability. It's marked as a size 7 but it fits my 7 1/8 noggin perfectly (maybe due to split sweat?)
Beautiful "wafer edge" brim treatment.
SOLD
The hat is in mint condition, it's a 7/14 but I have some tape (hatter's trick ;) ) under the sweatband to make it fit like a 71/8. Tape will remove easily. Classic design with tall crown and thin ribbon. Yours for $105 (that covers the paypal fee) shipped priority for free in the USA...

Stetson Belmont with Wafer Edge, 21/2 brim. Hat is marked 7 but it fits my 7 1/8 perfectly, definitely a tad big if you're a 7...
Hi all,
It's been a while. Cleaning up my bench, I guess. Haven't purchased a hat in a few years so these tools are no longer needed and should go to someone who would use them.
The blocks are all size 7 and the flanges have markings you'll see in the photos. I'd like to get $420 for everything...
