I loved Raiders and loved the hat. Never bought a fedora, though, until after I retired from the military and was looking for something to put on my head for my coat & tie job. The one reference that initially popped into my mind was the Raiders hat. What I found in the local stores were...

I bought several bowlers/derbies (five or six, I think) while I was working in Afghanistan this past winter...wife had stacked up the boxes in the corner and I was able to open them all when I came home. One of them was a long oval, my size, which is really the only one I wear...and I only wear...
Fantastic Rogers Peet derby in size 7 1/4. I'm dating this pre-1928 due to the taped sweatband seam. This derby shows very little evidence of being worn. Entire hat is in great shape: felt, ribbon, sweatband. Crown height is about 4 3/4 inches. Brim width is about 2 inches front and back...
Here's derby number 2 for this weekend. A beautiful Dunlap in 7 3/8. Dunlap derbies were said to be the blackest of the black and the felt in this specimen is, indeed, black! No stains or damage of any kind to the felt...appears as it probably did when it first left the factory. I'm putting...

I, personally, have kind of settled into the following: when I sit down in a restaurant, I place my hat somewhere other than my head. Order of preference would be a hook, a small shelf that may be adjacent to a booth, or on a seating area next to me. If I am stopping some place for a drink at...
I just listed this one on ebay, ends next Sunday. The wife came across it on another auction site. It is truly in excellent shape and in a rather hard to find 7 3/8. I've got a super fitting derby in my long oval head size, so I'm going to pass this one on to another oval. Still, I almost...
