Bob, great score! I love that 2x, red liner with the diamond "O" ! If any of those 7 3/8 Resistols are too tight. I know a guy that can use them, may even have a couple 7 1/2 Red liners for trade!

...and this Dobbs in 7-1/4 that will go live with someone else...

That's the one that caught my eye in the group photos you posted elsewhere. I might have contacted you about it, but I could tell it was too small for me. Nice haul!

These are part of a five hat auction lot that I won for $22.50.

First off ... a Stetson *******.

That’s insane!
Over here in Japan we pay about 100 bucks on top of the hat price just for the name Stetson!

Adam Hats snap front flat cap. A super thin light weight and airy fabric I will guess is a cotton rayon blend.... or something to that effect. With a satin sweat. The pattern is a beige and white checked pattern with the occasional thin red and bluish green line here and there. I think as cool and airy this hat is... it will get a lot of wear

There was also a costume top hat (not worthy of a pic) and this Dobbs in 7-1/4 that will go live with someone else.

Nice haul Bob. I especially like the double X Resistol.

Cavanagh Hats Flat Cap

Cotton houndstooth flat cap by Cavanagh hats. The light weight cotton cap has a cool white black and blue houndstooth pattern. It had a foam sizing strip when it arrived that left it a bit too tight. After removing it fit fairly well. A bit snug.. but just fine.

Quite the haul, Bob. Very satisfying to land a bunch of fine hats like that. Congrats.

 

[BobHufford]

Wow!!! Congrats on that, Bob! That one alone for that price would've been a score.

THAT is too cool.....E&W too!!!!! My wife remembers their Freeport Location!!! I remember Sterling!!!!!
Yes.....pretty cool. If you EVER tire of it!!!!! I know a good caretaker back here in Illinois where it came from!!!!

22 bucks!! WOW! Great catch! Nice looking *******!

Very nice haul, Bob!!! Congrats again!

NICE SCORE THOSE!!!!!!!!!

That one is an absolute beauty

Another tremendous find.

What a score, Bob! I look at some of those auctions sometimes but the shipping issues scare me off. I’m glad it worked out, but I don’t see the size 8!

Clasico Sevillano Sombrero

3 1/2 flat top crown
1 inch grosgrain ribbon
3 inch brim with 1/4 Matching grosgrain binding

This black Clasico Sevillano sombrero originally sold at Goyescas Pueblo Espanol... I believe a shop at an open air market in Barcelona, Spain came to me in a group Of three other hats. It caught me eye as definitely something different. In person this is a very well made hat. The felt is very stiff as I imagine is the intention to keep its squared shape crown and wide snap brim. But it also has a nice hand to it. The sweatband is thick... but rather stiff.. so I did not do any digging underneath.

All and all a different kind of look.. definitely not my preferred style and out of my comfort zone. But a very nice And well made hat.

My new Hornskov just arrived. As I mentioned a couple of days ago on the “What hat are you waiting for?” thread, I went for the wool hat they have on sale to try them out before going for something better.
Well, I must say, I’m very impressed. It’s a different beast from the other wool hats I’ve owned (of which I only have one remaining). The size is 59, but I gave Peter an accurate head measurement and it’s a snug, but very comfortable fit. The plan is for both my wife and I to buy beaver hats from him next. I’m now more excited about that prospect than ever!

Great hat, suits you very well. I own 3 Hornskov hats, 2x 100% beaver and 1x 50% beaver. I really like all 3 of them and wear them very often. Peter is always doing a great job.

One of my favorite brand of vintage fedoras; The Knox Premier. The 'embossed' Custom Edged and Ovalized Sixteenths on the sweatband... I'm guessing late 30s early 40s for this black beauty. 5 5/8 crown, 2 3/8 Custom Edge brim, Ovalized 16ths size tag (from what I hear, the Ovalized tag was first issued and used by Knox in the early 30s). The felt? I'm glad you asked! Almost too soft to hold a crease. The sweatband is as least 2 1/4 inches. I love the 'furry' ribbon appointment on the sweatband.

Great additions to your collection, Doc! Wonderful condition. I too like me an old Knox.

Royal Stetson - Light Tan

Royal Stetson - Light Tan Felt
4 3/4 crown as bashed
1 3/4 Black Grosgrain Ribbon with brown and yellow feather
2 inch brim with simple underwelt edge
1 1/2 brown sweat

I’m enjoying this new arrival Royal Stetson stingy brim. It has a very soft light tan felt and a good solid 2 inch brim. Wearing this on a very hot day today... the light tan felt actually kept rather cool. No tags inside The sweat other than a return address sticker from previous owner... but I’ll guess late 60s on this one. A very comfortable.. easy to wear hat.
