I'd buy it but I vowed to stick with 7 1/4

[Matt Deckard]

This is a find. solid black Borsalino with cavanagh edge and wind string.

Very nice. It has a little taper but that can be fixed. Too small for me though.

 

[The Wingnut]

Too rich for my blood. My size, though.

 

[jamespowers]

Aha but have you seen this?

Hmmmmm

MattDeckard, you're brave.

That white Stetson looks like a 50s hat. Looks kind of wool, too.

aha...just saw the 'rolling-and-laughing smilies' under your post James. I should have realized you were posting it tongue-in-cheek.

 

[Matt Deckard]

I think its a fur myself.

I'd wear it and like it!

I don't see too many vintage cowboy hats, and would like to find a good one from the 40's

I have a 60's Shady Oak from Peters Brothers but it's too tight and too 60's for me. I need to be wearing a plaid shirt and be clean cut in the hair department to pull it off.

 

[jamespowers]

Ok, how about this one?

I know that it is around 22" according to the seller. It has an interesting sweat band inside, has an interesting color ribbon and what looks like the original box.
Yeah H, I was kidding. It might be fur, may have a Cav edge and it might even be from the 50s but it just doesn't do much for me but maybe someone could make it look good for them.

[Matt Deckard]

Looks good.
I think I'll pass though
I have a similar one colorwise that just needs to be cleaned

 

[jamespowers]

I suppose it is tough to shop for the man who has everything. LOL

Looking at it closer, it might be interesting to have just to check it out---that and it is my wife's size anyway. If it stays cheap I just might put a bid in.

 

[Matt Deckard]

The white wooly is a pimpin' hat!

You should get it.

I would but it would ruin my rep as a person with taste

 

[jamespowers]

Well the White Wooly says it is "BEAVERX3 QUALITY AND STETSON" so.... The curiosity is killing me anyway. It will be worth it just to feel it and check it out. LOL

You have see the picture of me in the Hawaiian shirt haven't you? LOL LOL Maybe I will be lucky and it will have a Cav edge and money under the ribbon. LOL

[havershaw]

Hmmmm.

That Dobbs is kind of nice.

I wonder what size it is...?

 

[jamespowers]

The lady tells me it is about 22 inches around the inside. That would be about a size 7; I think. She cannot find the tags under the sweatband but you know you would have to just about be right next to her showing exactly where they are with most "hat dumb" people. LOL

[havershaw]

Hmmmm.

I would go for that hat if I weren't saving up for a suit from Art.

That's a nice one.

I guess we'll see how the dough flows in the next couple of days.

 

[jamespowers]

Ok, how about his one?

The Long Oval might make it a little big though.

[havershaw]

Portis hats are supposed to be excellent.

 

[Matt Deckard]

I'm actually a German oval

equates to long oval with a Herman Munster squared off forehead

 

[jamespowers]

In that case, I think this one will fit you:

LOL LOL
These people are so ridiculous. That is a woman's hat not a mans! Could you imagine seeing a man walking around with that?
H, Portis hats are very nice if you get the right quality. The previously listed one looks to have a bit of quality to it. I will live vicariously through you guys that can find hats like that in your size.
I Probably have Herman Munster's head size--not just the oval. LOL
