    PUNTI SEVEN ? I sure hope so. What do ya'll think, judging from the scanty and inexact evidence? I am optimistic.

    Odd vintage from custom hatter Buffalo NY

    You may have seen this on evilBay. I think they were quite correct in stating it was 7 3/8... now however it is a solid 7 1/4 and small tears and nicks in the leather of the sweat make unsuitable for a robust stretch it would need to recall 23". Obviously not meant to be a folder, though it...

    Hat Bands and Pugarees

    POSSIBLE HATBAND? Info given is 2 1/2" wide 29" at its last hole. I think there is adequate room on the straps to bring it in enough to use it as a hatband. What do ya'll think?
