Serious "heathering" going on.

Sticking with the obscure and seldom seen, this one is a Triumph by Champ. Seller says it was in a box with a model name of "Penthouse" and labeled "Roman Green" - however seller also says he sees the color as a chocolate brown, so... box doesn't match, or another color-shifter. I already have one Champ with an undefinable color. This one doesn't say "feel the felt" but (continued below) View attachment 469370 View attachment 469371 View attachment 469372 View attachment 469373 "felted with Genuine Beaver." Does that mean they kept a beaver in the room while they made the hat out of gerbil fur?
Super Sonic Edge? I'll be busting the sound barrier everywhere I go!

Nice.

'Bout time ...

It is from the later period and has a couple of spots and one moth nip that I can see.

But it's supposed to be my size and, although it went past the $25 to $45 estimate, it was still half-price.

VERY nice!! I hope it fits like a glove. What size do you wear?

Thanks Mickey! I typically wear a 7-1/2 LO, but have some 7-5/8 and some 7-3/8 that work.

Nice! The western styles are my favorite. I’ll keep an eye out for some good 7 1/2 LO hats for you. I see them sometimes but never buy because I’m a 7/7LO

My wife is a couple of towns over restocking her flea market booth (split white oak baskets) and ran across this for $1.50. I said “yes please”.

Got a bit bored today, so to add a bit excitement I went for two more lottery hats. They should be good, but are they my size...?

Nice find from your better half, Bob. Hope she's making a bit of a profit out of it

If not Stefan, I'm sure you'll have no problem selling them on.

Thanks Steve! I don't think she can get hurt on it. And I'm pretty sure all the profits go to her anyway -- except for what I "reinvest".

Unless they're too small...

Unless they're too small...

We need more smaller heads on the FL.

Someone called my name?

 

[wsmontana]

Looking forward to receiving this one!

Couldn’t pass this one up for $20.

Can’t say no to 50s 3X OR.

[wsmontana]

Last but not least but certainly the dirtiest. This one is now in my possession and yeah it is dirty. Came rolled up but doesn’t seem worse for wear.

Bill

 

[wsmontana]

oops, one more that arrived this week. This one will be a Christmas gift for my son for his jazz band outfit.

Nice haul. That next to last one appears to be a Stetson "Musketeer." Both Joe @Blare and myself have one. Mine's had some wear, too; Joe's looks nicer.
