Well...I've been in the antiques end of things for over 20 yrs myself, and the rule of thumb is "leave it alone"; don't clean it, polish it,
refinish, paint, strip, nada, nuttin', hands off. I want to find early pieces in original condition-and be able to turn the piece as untouched
by me-very...
I've got two "One Hundreds"- one by Dobbs, one Resistol; both are beautiful...but boring; love to have a refurb.
done on one or both-if I can get the felt to soften up plenty. Hard to appreciate the fineness of the felt with
the factory stiffener in there. Are there any DIY solutions to...
Did anyone catch the Whippet that sold on eBay for over $600.00??
Now that's just a bit much for a $10.00 lid. Wonder what that's
going to do the "market" for fedoras? Guy that sold it didn't seem
to be an expert in the business, just got lucky. We should all have
that kind of luck.
I was wanting that hat soooo badly...but my noggin's one size larger. Congrats on what looks to be a real beauty! Send photos of you
in the hat (so I can throw darts)
OK...I need to buy myself a Borsalino Fedora in 7 3/8 prefer L/O, 1" ribbon would be nice, cross between Country/City hat
is the Holy Grail for me; after selling lots of great Borsa's over the years, now I want one to keep for ME. Have a bunch of
hats I'm getting gone-a few up on eBay now-see...
and it takes time...and it's time for me to BUY A KILLER BORSALINO!! 7 3/8 L/O is preferred-Vintage definitely-something that's a cross
between a Country/City hat; 1" ribbon-straight lines-like the raw edge; I'm selling quite a few of my hats that simply aren't getting worn,
and will invest in...
Hello gentlemen-
I just listed a terrific Art Fawcett Fedora in a deep "Forest" green felt on eBay; deep crown has 4 1/2" ht. as photo'd, closer to 5 1/2 open.
Brim is 2 1/2", ribbon is 1"; Hat is in pristine condition, no issues whatsoever; fits my 7 3/8 noggin, close to being a Long Oval...
MEK will lift tar off the road...be VERY CAREFUL if using it- eye protection, heavy duty gloves, respirator, the works-it'll take just about any glue
off, but you run the risk of taking some color off of the felt, so prepare to use a larger ribbon. Don't use a hair dryer to "soften"the glue
if...
Hey folks-been a while since I've been active on the Lounge-still watch the goings-on.
Looking for a soft, luxurious felted hat-like a Resistol Kitten Finish, better Borsalino-in
a 7 3/8 L/O; if the size is close, I can live with it; I can also live with a few minor problems,
so this topper...
Robert:
SOLD!!!
Looks like a great hat-and the size just could work out for me-usually need a L/O, but if you have given it a stretch, my noggin will certainly
try and conform.(hard to do when yr. heads full of rocks...) my email is adhoc.idea@comcast.net
Gladly pay you through...
