    Stetson "The Sovereign Twenty"

    Been some time since I've seen anything with the Sanger Brothers name on it. Used to be my mother's favorite store in Dallas. Your time range should be right. Sanger was merged with A. Harris stores to become Sanger-Harris when both companies were bought out. I think that happened in 1960.

    I do watch MiamiBruno sometimes but he seems to come and go occasionally. But thanks for the tip.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    You may be right on the European sizing. The sweatband does say Sofia but not sure if it was actually sold in Bulgaria. I have added some foam behind the band for now to see if I want to keep it or not.

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    My first Borsalino. Also my first bowler. In better shape than I saw from the pictures but it does need a good cleaning. Didn't really want a bowler, but the price was right. I am a "loose" 7 1/8 and everything I have heard said Borsalinos run small, so I thought it would be perfect. Amazingly...

    Wolfbrae Custom Hatters

    While the embroidered style does shout "custom" I admit I prefer the printed version. Just my 2 cents.

    FS: Beautiful 1950s Aquanized Stetson - Blue Gray - 7 1/8+

    Beautiful hat & color. Unfortunately I am a 7 1/8-, somewhere closer to a 7. Lost a little weight and now the Stetsons that use to fit well are loose enough I had to add fillers under the sweatband. I suspect the lack of interest in your 3 hats is being impacted by the unreliable network issues...

    What is going on with this site???

    I would be OK with that if it helps; however, there is also the issue of content. I know many of the hat people also are interested in vintage clothing but, based on the classified ads this site could be split into the Fedora Lounge and the Leather Jacket Lounge. That would probably cut down on...

    Nice hat. Congrats. I understand why you would want to straighten out the ribbon but it does add a little panache to the look. Makes it unique at least.

    What is going on with this site???

    It was OK when I got on 15 minutes ago, but now it is slow again. Really getting frustrating. It has been bad for weeks now.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I worked for a company that was the largest seller in their mobile electronic category. Even with that kind of clout we struggled to win disputes with buyers. One guy "returned" expensive cell phones over a 3 month period by sending in pieces of wood or sneakers as the returned item, keeping the...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I contacted him once and he was rather rude in his replies. I got the feeling he did not want to be questioned about his hats, their condition or anything really. Based on the poor reaction to what I thought were reasonable questions given his high asking price, I passed on the hat. I...
