    Premium store open road clone 7 1/4-7 3/8

    Still looking for Portis', Gay Princes, and Adams

    For the long timers at the lounge. Looking for good quality fedoras in the 7 3/8-1/2 range 50's or earlier. I have some desireable 7 1/8 - 3/8 fedoras to trade for the right hats. In particular looking for wide brims 2 1/2 or wider. Unusual colors or ribbons always desireable. Drop me a PM...

    ***sale pending*** 30's/40's Vintage Stetson Whippet 7 1/4 -7 3/8

    A lovely medium to lighter grey Whippet that was part of my regular collection till a "newer" one came along. Felt is in excellent shape with no signs of damage. It has a few light brownish spots that I have never attempted to clean out. Ribbon is a bit faded with age. Sweat band is in good...

    **sale pending** $50 buck Borsalino 7 1/8

    Post Holidays now on sale. $50 bucks to my PayPal gets this sent to you CONUS. Too small for my noggin. It is a soft pliable felt that I described as Sage Green, but it really looks more like the color of Basil, a grey green. The felt is flawless and free of stains, damage or moth bites...

    Akubra Spirit of Australia 59cm Sydney Olympics

    This is a nearly unworn Spirit of Australia I acquired that needs a home. It has only been worn a few times and is free of blemishes and weather marks. This is the authentic original purchased at the games and includes the Olympic pin. $60 to my PayPal sends it USPS Priority to your...

    **SOLD**Classic Dobbs 7 1/8 **SOLD**

    Another oddball from the collection. This is a dark brown Dobbs in perfect shape. No moth damage, no stains, and a clean pliable sweat. The brim measures at 2 1/4 inches with a simple welted edge. My guess from the construction and the original price tag that it is probably mid late 50's...

    *SOLD* Borsalino 7 1/4 for sale *SOLD*

    This 40's or 50's vintage borsalino is in excellent shape. There is no mothing or other damage to the felt. I am parting with it as it just does not work for my head. The brim has a cavanagh style edge and is 2 1/4 inches wide. The ribbon is 2 inches wide and looks to have had a wind trolley...

    Buttery Brown Barbisio 7 1/4 stato bello!

    This Barbisio (a nemesis of Borsalino) with Open Road styling was intended to be the first Barbisio in my regular rotation, but alas it doesn't fit nor is it a good candidate to "adjust". http://gallery.mac.com/erich222#100127/IMG_0549&bgcolor=black The vintage appears to relatively (by FL...

    Art Fawcett's secret warehouse

    Not really, but sigh the thing dreams are made up. I don't know what kind of analogy you could come up with to describe a collection of these many hats in one place. I'd have to consult an analogist to find one ;) Eric http://gallery.mac.com/erich222#100123&bgcolor=black

    Instant Size 7 collection Mallory and Portis

    These are hats picked up along the way to building my collection. The two up for sale are a Mallory 15 and a Portis "The Slant". Were they my size they would definitely not be seen here. The Mallory has a cavanagh edge and is an earlier version with buttery soft felt, a real gem. It was...

    Off color comments

    Apparently hats are alive and well judging by the current Ebay prices. Those of us at it for a while have filled our racks, boxes, and closets with all manner and color of hat. And, to judge by recent posts, Art and the other resident hatters are pretty much able to make a living. Now, though...
