Vintage Eyeglasses
WideBrimm: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll ask my optometrist about the covers when I go to pick up the spectacles. (I suppose, in a pinch, any heat shrink tubing might work too). Thanks also for the cleaning suggestion ... I might try that for my old/current frames too.- bombin

Vintage Eyeglasses
I see that the Optometrist Attic carries them too. I bought old frames off eBay. I'm having glass lenses put in and the optometrist said he would fit them when the lenses are done.- bombin

3 Lincoln Bennett hats
Listed on eBay for $120 or best offer. Three Lincoln Bennett hats - a bowler, a top hat, and another hat. Seller said that the measurement is 8" by 6", but I'm not sure if that's for every hat or what. They seem to small to fit me, but it looks like it could be a good deal...- bombin

Guessing a hat size if someone only knows the inside diameter?
Right, I think I'll pass on this one then. -

Thanks, Richard. Yes, they're gold-filled. So they shouldn't be a problem then? That's good to know. (I suppose the replacement cables at Optometrist Attic are just gold-coloured and not actually gold-filled?)- bombin

Guessing a hat size if someone only knows the inside diameter?
Thanks Joao. My understanding is that anything beyond a 1 size stretch will start to significantly alter the hat look (by eating the brim or crown). No? -
Guessing a hat size if someone only knows the inside diameter?
If a seller suggests that the length/width measurement of a hat is 8" x 6", would that be likely to be a hat with something like a 22" circumference? (I need something closer to 23", and some I'm thinking this hat must be too small, even if I wanted to stretch it a bit.) Or is it possible it's... -
Vintage Eyeglasses
Question for cable temple wearers I recently got a pair of vintage frames with cable temples (the type which wrap round the back of the ears), and I'm having a local optometrist put in my prescription lenses (still waiting to get them back as I ordered plain glass lenses). When I was...- bombin

Advice on Barmah hat sizing?
I've ordered the Larges, so we'll have to see how the sizing works out. -
Resize both up and down
Resizing hats? There's a felt hat I'm comtemplating buying (looks like it's from the 1920s), but its inner circumference is 22" and I'd probably need it to be close to 23". Would that be an unreasonable expectation in terms of resizing? -
Advice on Barmah hat sizing?
Many thanks; I think I'm close on being dead on 59 (and my wife a bit smaller), so it sounds like Large is the best choice. They look like really great hats; I currently only have my 20 year wool bowler, which isn't ideal for summer. -
Advice on Barmah hat sizing?
I'd like to order a couple of Barmah squashies for me and my wife, but I'm little concerned about sizing as I keep running into reviews suggesting that Barmahs might run small. (Here are the "official" size charts: Small 55 cm 21.6 inch Medium 57 cm 22.4 inch Large 59 cm 23 inch...
