Got a Cordova straw cap being made.

This one shipped yesterday. This is the replacement for the one that got stolen just minutes before the mailman came to pick it up.

Can Michael Gannon make a hat or what?

Superb. I would say MG is on of the worlds if not the worlds top hat maker.

Cool colors.
Sunlight shots?

Got a bit of sunlight today... I think it looks a bit different in different lights.

Thank you Jonathan.

Borsalino Homburg...I own 2. This one is different in that the size tag is gold (I've seen red and even green) and the crown appears to show a more stately appearance. Looking to clean this beaut up nicely. Yet, anticipation is making me wait....

Yes yes... and that is indeed what my response was as well.

there is a story for it though

A mystery Resistol -- I know it's 7-3/8 and that a fellow Lounger will assist in the logistics. All I had was this one picture (fuzzy as it was combined with several other things in an auction lot).

For a $4.00 winning bid it's worth a shot that the 7-3/8 is a LO and I might be able to wear it.

I suspect that this NOS thin ribbon was made by Biltmore for Henry the Hatter.

Your size?

 

[BobHufford]

Your size?

No idea Jim. Questions to the auction house to show a size tag or check for a re-order sticker only resulted in a couple of interior pics (of just the model name and the store) being updated on the auction site with a statement that the hat was a size 8. So if that is 1/8 (therefore 7-1/8), a true size 8 or an 8" measurement, who knows? Guess I will when it (they actually) arrive -- hoping for the 8" size. Figured it was worth the risk for $22.50 for all five.

Also waiting for my wife to go pick up this hat can tomorrow (purchased at an on-line-only auction that was nearby). I know this "Parker 5x" hat won't fit (7-1/8), but I was really just after that hat can as I need more storage options for my big-brim westerns.
