Thinning out the herd: 7 1/4 and larger hats

I’m trying to sell off a good chunk of my collection of hats, because I’m running out of storage space fast and I’ve decided (out of necessity) to go for quality instead of quantity. I’ll be listing them here for those who can appreciate a good hat when they see one and who know how to take care of it.

I’ll be listing them by size. Because I’m a size 7 (American) myself, most of the hats will be in the 7 and 7 1/8 range. I will say something about fit and size for a hat when necessary. Needless to say: these are vintage hats: what you see is what you get.

Postage is not included in the price. To the US postage will be $25 (it’ll cost me more, but we’re all loungers here). Buy more at the same time and save on shipping. Heck, buy all of them and let’s make a deal.

PM me if you’re interested, for questions or if you want to see more pictures of the individual hats (or all of these). These will not be on sale on Ebay; it's an Fedora Lounge exclusive kind of thing. Be patient: I'll be posting 50 hats in total.

The size 7 1/4 (size 58 European) and larger hats now.

44. Hut Schick
Homburg in grey. Austrian. Lined. Brim at 4,5cm and crown at 11cm at the pinch. Very soft hat in semi longhair-finish, possibly some woolcontent. Older hat; pre-war.

It 's true I'm biased, Stefan is a friend and we can, together, open a hat shop, but I often hear, on FL, that there are few interesting homburgs on the market.
These three are magnificent and one in particular has the quality of being rare and beautiful, the other two have a nice price. Just saying :)
