Post New Hats Here!

Thanks! I seriously can't believe this fell into my lap for the price I paid. After being the only bidder with ten watchers I kept thinking, "I gotta be missing something. What's the catch?" The listing pictures didn't do this hat justice, but it's not like they were terrible either. And I know homburgs aren't as popular as fedoras, but I figured there would still be competition for a vintage Borsalino. As my old boss used to say, have to chalk it to up to good, clean living.

You would've had plenty of competition if I had remembered to set my alarm. [emoji2]

If this has happened on any of my hats I haven't noticed it. But I have noticed...well let me start by saying that if I want the pinch to line up with the nose on my asymmetrical face I have to form it approximately half an inch to the right (my right) of the hat's centerline. Handling them by the pinch causes the pinch to slowly migrate to the left, i.e. back to the hat's centerline. It used to bother me, but I got used to it and accepted it as a fact of life for me.

Damn! That was explained well, Z. Same thing happens to me.

If you had remembered to set your alarm it wouldn't have been a competition. I would have soundly lost.

Bought this Stetson 3X OR while on vacation. I haven't worked out the vintage just yet but it has the premetric black tag. I think I posted from memory that it was a 7-3/4 but it's actually a 7-7/8 & had some foam shims behind the sweat. Haven't looked for other tags yet.

Also bought this nice older 3X not marked as an OR. Haven't done a tag search yet.

50’s ROGERS PEET (MacLachlan made) SUPERIOR QUALITY

I tried this one on after having it on a band block for a couple of weeks. I was surprised at the quality of the felt, which made me look under the sweatband.
I had forgotten it is made by MacLachlan. They truly were excellent felt makers. The brim snaps beautifully.
Brim up for Bob!

PUT the brim UP, Max!!

If you had this hat in your inventory, and forgot, you are over in your head here. You now officially have too many, and it’s starting to show!

WHAT a beauty, Max!!

Thanks, Charlie! I couldn't upload the brim up pic yesterday, because Tapatalk was acting up again.
Here it is.

Hey, putting the brim up made you tip sideways! It really is a great hat, Max. I like the wide ribbon on it too.

70s Paribuntal hood refreshed, trimmed, and shaped by Johnny Mac at Brass Rooster. Part of a package deal with my new, blue Vintage 125.

What more needs to be said, once you see the pictures?

Eagerly been waiting for this Lee homburg (Silver Label) for the past couple days:


Due to the weather this had been sitting in the local branch unable to be delivered because of the extreme cold. So close and yet so far. Finally arrived today but about four hours later than normal due to mail backup. The suspense was killing me, but good things come to those who wait.

Special thanks to @deadlyhandsome for this wonderful item and for a smooth transaction!

Before and after pics.
From Borsalino "Safari" to Borsalino "Tom Mix of sorts". Sacrilege?

It was stained, the brim stitching was falling apart, and the sweatband seam was unsewn.
Ignacio wanted to replace it, but I asked him to keep it. It's my only hat originally sold in Nairobi.

He says it's easy to give it its old shape back, but I think I will keep it like this.

I think I like that hat better with the brim up. Either way, great hat!

I think it still counts as a "safari" hat. Nice save.

Borsalino Cecosca in Narvalo colour. Size 58 with the bound brim at a good 6,5cm and the crown 10cm at the center dent. Lightweight hat at only 95grams and "Insuperabile". Not my size unfortunately, so PM me if you're interested.

Trade you for that Brent in my size you still have (I know that could take some time, but so what).

Another new one. Staalmeester Rembrandt. Size 57 with an overwelt brim at 5cm and crown at 10,5cm at the centerdent. Staalmeester was made by Nederlandse Hoedenfabriek (Nehoefa) in Bussum. Their early hats are of outstanding quality. Their later ones not so much. This is a later hat, but not too bad actually, which I did not expect. It's growing on me. I might keep it, even if it is a bit large for me.
