    New Member Needs Help

    Hi BS212, I have what was called the Sinatra fedora in the day. Its from 1945, I believe. It is called a Grey Diamond. This is a tall crown hat with a 2 1/2 -2 5/8 Inch brim. It is original and the only one that is not in its original box. My brother's size was 7 3/8 but this hat is 7 1/4...

    Thank you Art and John. I have one hat on order prior to being approved for this forum. I emailed Optimo numerous times with no replies. I was not familiar with Art at this time but it sounds as if he is learning the trade well. I probably made a mistake by ordering a beaver hat...

    Biltmore Bob, I have similar concerns. There is a parallel topic on another forum that is talking to the same gentleman LJ, about this matter. While there is a lot of disagreement about it all there seems to be some common ground on it. Be aware if you visit the other forum, the language is...

    Hats

    Thank you very much. I have seen this name but did not have a web link. I understand they are near vintage hats. I know the self felted edge well. It is one of my favorites. I have several of them. I am saddened to hear they are no more available. On another note of concern, I...

    Hats

    Can you guys direct me to the better or best modern hats available? I need to replace several very old hats. Also does anyone care to trade any 7 5/8 size vintage or new hats to brand new vintage 7 3/8 hats ? Cheers Scott
