Once you go furfelt, there is no going back Leamas.
Keep a look out for Resistol "Kitten Finish" or Pilgram "Sable finish" hats, both are especially luxurious felts of fine texture and smooth feel. ( Of course Dobbs, Stetson, Cavanagh and Knox etc are also good)
I have purchased from this ebay...
Size is too small for me unfortunately :(, but I thought another Lounger might want a nice hat and box for $50. :)

Have a good look through ebay, there are some fantastic "near NEW" hats available, some in original boxes too.
Here are some examples of hats I have recently purchased, both under $60 :-
This Resistol was in mint condition when I received it...
I reckon thats great Kirk H., because it means she not only listens to what you have to say around the house, but also takes enough interest to remember the information you have passed on.
Hopefully that attitude will last through the teen years.
What ever happened to the concept "if it's not yours, don't touch it" ?? My parents instilled it in me, and I believe I have done the same for my kids. If everyone did the same, shameful acts like this wouldn't occur.
Sorry for your loss, mate. :(
Thanks for the warm welcome, mate!! :)
Great to see others with a (un??) healthy appreciation of quality fur felts...........so I think you're right.
Oh, and yeah, my surname really is Cavanagh
I'm on the lookout for a Cavanagh, but unfortunately it would be a tad tight for my noggin' ( I need at least 22 1/2 ")
Nice lid though, you shouldn't have long to wait for a new owner.
YAY! first post :)
