    FS Christys medium fur hat size 7 1/4 UK a 7 3/8 US

    Is this a wide 59, or wide for your head? I have a size 59 Borsalino and put padding inside. It's still loose, but comfortably so.

    For sale Knox Twenty Size 7

    Hey Bill, all the good hats that are available seem to be size 7, here and on the 'bay. I think I keep asking the same question- hoping to get a different answer!

    I have a question. I bought some new old stock from RMR when they went out of business. Now they are very nice, but I dont seem to want to wear the hats because they are the last of their kind. Museum quality? Are these like the last new ones on Earth? Partly I want to keep as unworn for value...

    Hi, I have a hat storage question that I didnt see anywhere so far. I have a bunch of hats and space is getting limited in my closet. I keep them all in boxes. My question is, how are hats if I store the boxes on their side? I guess that hat would be either upright or upside down in the box...

    1970s/80s Knox Western Hat, 7-1/4

    Hi Bob, I like the color! the brim looks curled, would it be able to be permanently straightened? Also, do you think the braid band could easily be taken off?

    So I have a family history of cervical spine spondylosis and wonder if wearing hats might affect my neck health down the line. I recently obtained a scale to measure food, but have started using it on some hats to see how heavy they are in comparison to each other. Not surprisingly, some...

    1950s Dobbs Cross Country 7 1/8

    What's the crown height at the front? Is this wool felt? I am a 22.5 inch, you think it'll work? (I usu wear 7 1/4 too but find that some a little loose, some a just right).

    Hat sizes

    So I have like 50 hats and am in the process of downsizing. The only problem is, I like each hat for different reasons! One reason I found it difficult to just unload some from my hat collection, is that I like some hats with some traction (for outdoor, weathery hats), some that just feel spot...

    Favorite Crown Shape

    Hi, I notice that there are a whole different types of pinches, from sharp edge pinches to soft ones. Some in front, some on the sides. Some hats are not blocked to have any, not to mention open crowns that you are supposed to make your own. Is there a grading system for pinches? May be a...

    Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread

    I'm so mad. I just saw Art Fawcett was done making hats forever and I have not been able to get one from him. Glad he is able to retire, but what now for us hat lovers? I guess I need to just keep looking for that unicorn on the 'bay :(

    I think it's a size 7 based on the measurements and the (L + W)/2 calculation. Have you stretched a hat from 7 to 71/8- 7 1/4 before with any luck?

    Hey Bill, thanks for the quick response. There is an awesome hat on ebay and the seller does not know anything about it. I think it may be either a 7 or 7 1/8 judging by the measurements that they gave. Am so tempted to get it so cheaply and try to stretch it. Dont want to ruin the leather band...

    Hi, I am wondering about size and fit. I wear a 7 1/8 - 7 1/4. As you know some vintage 7 1/4 shrink and 7 1/8 can be stretched I somewhere in between. There is a hat on ebay that measures ~ 7 5/8 inches in length of interior band. Does anyone know what size that is, and can it be stretched to...
