What hat are you waiting for today?

[BobHufford]

Hey....it is our size! If it needs a "vacation" just send it over. I have a nice rest home for large hats...

When it gets here late next week we'll see how it fits. Here's hoping...

Stumbled across this one on an obscure classifieds site while not even looking (was following a posted link for a vintage bicycle). An esteemed Lounge member is facilitating. Hat people are the best!

Looks like you stumbled good!

The 2 1/4" brim is on the stingy side, but I'm a sucker for vintage hats in my size in this condition.

Nice! I'd ruin it by giving it a low(ish) Diamond crease and wear it brim up like a Pork Pie.

"Normally a hat with a super large brim does not appeal to us"


You consider a 3" brim "super large" ? Really? Even a 6" crown can get mighty short if you add any shape.


Guess everything depends on head size My wife has a 4" crown, 5" brim hat (6 1/2 LO) that is great out doors...mighty big indoors! At a very cute 125# and 5'4" she still gets compliments on that hat all the time. I some times suspect it might not always be the hat.

For a fedora, three inches is a very large brim width. Not so much when talking about western hats. My personal observations are that the most common height for an open crown fedora is 5 1/2 inches so 6 inches is tall. In an apples to apples world this is an outsized fedora. This is envisioned as a bridge between a western dress hat and a city dress hat. A weird niche I know, but I need to be able to justify ordering yet another hat.

I'm slowly warming to westerns and the requisite wide brims (for limited applications). I'm also part of a growing group that buy westerns and convert them to fedoras, mostly just to give @Joao Encarnado nightmares.

Wow. The clarity of that impression is...well, impressive, especially on a hat so old. It's so pristine that, to me, it appears the hat was hardly ever worn. Beautiful!
