    I think you did fine.

    Richman Brothers

    Can you post a link to the auction? The price you paid is not out of line provided the hat's in good shape.

    Richman Brothers

    Richman Brothers didn't manufacturer anything; they were retailers of menswear. They've been out of business for quite some time, I think. The hats sold under their name were probably made by Lee or one of the other large hatmakers who made hats for retail chains. I have a Richman Brothers Open...

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

    As far as vintage hats go, Rilico's listings are honest, well documented, and a heckuva good chuckle to read. I love it when he uncorks his Dick and Jane shtick to sell "Dad's Hat". Nolanf is another regular seller that I've bought a hat from and had a good experience.

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

    Nice Cavanagh. What is it with brown hats lately? They used to come a little cheaper than the grays/tans/silver bellies, but I've been trying for a vintage brown lid for a while and the good ones are all through the roof. I finally broke down and ordered a new hat - watch the prices drop now...

    Your photos brought to mind Alan Ladd as Raven from This Gun For Hire:

    Buscemi needs a smaller Homburg

    Getting back to Nucky's homburg, at the end of episode 5 his hat topples to the floor - sure looks like a Dobbs liner crest/sweatband logo to me. Wide, brown sweat makes me think it's not a new one, either:

    WE DID IT !!! After 38 years the Rangers go to the series!!! ....

    Don't forget the Washington Senators years - more like 49 years without a pennant for the franchise. How cool would it have been if the Rangers had played Minnesota for the pennant, Old Senators vs. New Senators.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Today's hat is a late Byer-Rolnick period Resistol OR clone, silver belly. I think I need to reduce the crown a bit, it's a mite too high even by my standard:

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    At the end of episode 5, when Nucky's Homburg hits the floor, you can clearly see the Dobbs crest in the liner tip and on the sweatband.

    Why is green so hard to capture? Believe it or not, this is my bluegrass green Campdraft - I'm liking this pic so well I may have to order a gray one...

    "Gatsby - "Remake"

    A young Hugh Laurie in '20s attire would immediately bring Bertie Wooster to mind.

    "Gatsby - "Remake"

    i've seen the 1949 Ladd version, and it's easily the best film treatment to date, but I have to agree with those who feel that this novel is unfilmable.

    I'm having a hard time visualizing the different options. I browsed the Green Machine thread but it wasn't much help.

    Open question - ribbon advice needed I'm considering a Christys Adventurer in their Elm (green) color. The stock 1 1/2" ribbon is a dark green, but I can request other colors - navy, brown, or black. What do you think would look better, the stock green or brown? I don't know the shade of brown...
