Charlie, I think our hats are of similar vintage today if liners are any indication. I think your 3X trumps my Royal, though! Stratoliner -
The Bowler or Derby Hat
Captain, size is a key factor here as well. If you're a size 7 there is a lot more vintage bowlers to choose from. If you're a size 7 5/8 they are fewer and further between and command higher prices. -
