    Some children tried to steal my hat yesterday

    This would get you murdered in my town and then they'd take your phone and wallet too! I say this without a hint of humor. If you did manage to make it to the police the kids would tell the police you solicited sex from them, you'd go to jail and they'd still have your hat.

    WTB: Borsalino any fedora style 7 5/8 rollable with box

    Unfortunately you're asking for a size that is going for a crazy premium right now ( I know because it's my size too). A nice vintage Borsalino and a Stetson Stratoliner in this size just sold in the $350 range. They can certainly be got for less with vigilant watching of various sources but...

    WTB: Borsalino any fedora style 7 5/8 rollable with box

    Might be helpful to throw out a price you would be willing to pay. Might get some members motivated to offer up something.

    Advice about my hat

    G, we have very similar backgrounds ( I've only dabbled in sculpting but work full time as an artist and still make furniture on the side) and have come to very similar hat conclusions

    That Portis is something special, right there! I've been trying to get a light colored wide ribbon like that for years. You're a lucky man, Bama!

    Too Small?? Too big? Just right? or How to wear a hat!

    If I had hair on the top of my head I might not mind the crown touching. But I don't so I do

    Too Small?? Too big? Just right? or How to wear a hat!

    If I'm wearing a hat straight on, I'm usually looking for it to be about one finger width above my ears. I usually have a tilt so it usually does touch one ear or very nearly. it shouldn't dig into your forehead. Better a touch big than too small As Moon said Comfort is the most important...

    A banner day for hats, gentlemen! It really is a pleasure to check out this thread everyday So, S4C's Resistol got me thinking of a similar color Strat I have; I tried a diamond crease in this, just didn't seem to want it so I listened to the felt and it told me "centerdent". This hat was one...

    That Borso "spiffed up" really nice. I really enjoy the lightness and comfort of the unreeded sweatbands on these hats

    A rare treat to see Rick here! Looking great today as always everyone! Today, another SST (Sovereign Stetson Twenty) but atypical from my others and 40cal's I think it likely this hat is a reject as has been discussed elsewhere. I don't think it's the earlier wide ribbon Open Road

    Detective style fedora

    I think Moon has got more vintage hats in the last year than I have in the last five. Just to show the difference size can make when going after vintage hats. Size does matter

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Eric, I would like to suggest you get more than one flange. A 2 1/2, 2 5/8 and 2 3/4 to start. There are different shapes as well among the brim sizes as well. Deeper or more shallow dish, flatter fronts with deeper backs and so forth. Many brims have a flatter front than back and many flanges...
