    Is there somewhere to get my hats cleaned in the Chicago area?

    Howdy, all. My main wearing hats need a good cleaning. I used to get them cleaned at Optimo, but Graham dropped hat cleaning years ago...which is about how long I've been meaning to get these hats cleaned. Are there any other options in the Chicago area? I tried some Western store in Aurora...

    Is the vintage hat market dead?

    Howdy, all. I have a decent collection of beautiful vintage hats that I no longer wear...so I will probably sell most of them over the coming months. I popped over to the classifieds section to see what was listed...since I haven't really engaged on the forum in a decade...and I see almost no...

    New Old Stock (NOS) 1930's Borsalino Trionfo (repost with NEW PICTURES)

    I felt the old pictures did not do justice to the beauty of this fellow, but I couldn't edit the original post, so I decided to just start a new one. This hat has lovely color and lovely proportions indeed. Some of the pictures are still so-so, but I have given the hat a good brushing, which...

    Free hats (pay for the shipping and my packaging)

    First - a 7-1/8 tan costume (?) hat altered from an original Stetson Royal DeLuxe...the brim was definitely cut down by an amateur, the ribbon looks like an amateur replacement, the sweatband has this odd gold stamping over the Stetson writing and there's a weird liner...oh yeah, and it's kind...

    50's(?) Florsheim longwings and modern J&M Spectators

    First up, a pair of Florsheim longwings in black - I am not a shoe expert, but these look like they are from the 50's or so. I think I was the first person to wear these, and I would estimate I wore them only a 12-15 times. Always stored with shoe-trees, of course. Size between a...

    WTB: American Optical or Ray Ban sunglasses, gold filled frames, 52mm G15 lenses

    So, after wearing a pair of Randolph Engineering sunglasses for a while (which I liked very much), I was upset to find out that the gold-plate finish on the frames is susceptible to damage from the high salt levels in my sweat! My only solution seems to be a pair of sunglasses with gold-filled...
