Hey all!
I just pulled the trigger on a 40-50's Twenty Fifth Avenue. It's a 5 1/2 crown, 2 3/4 brim, open crown never worn. Can't wait to get it! Will be glad to be a member of the Dobbs Mobb.
Thanks to all the fantastic advice in this thread.
Late this week I received a silverbelly Campdraft.
2 min ago I pulled the trigger on a 40's Dobbs Twenty on eBay:
Crown: 5 1/2"
Brim: 2 3/4"
It's open crown and never been worn, in box. I can't wait to get it!
Man, thanks for all the info so far it's really changing my approach in favor of vintage now. Also thanks for the shop tip, I stopped by there today, cool spot, will need to check back again in a month or so all they had was derbies and top hats. I did score a pretty rad 60's paisley tie.
Thanks for this advice man. I've been looking around ebay lately at the vintage hats and I'm seeing some nice lids. I'm a 7 - 7 1/8 and you're right I've seen quite a few in my range.

I love wide brim, open crown felt fedoras and I'd like to see if any of you have some ideas for others I could look for. Here's my list of knowns:
