Vintage Hat Restoration costs
I haven't found Optimo to be any more expensive than other places that I've had renovations done, including some of the above. Many places have lower starting prices, then seem to go up once they've examined all the work they will have to do on your hat. Optimo's listed prices stay the same... -
Facial Hair.....And Hats
I'm really lazy about shaving. I hate it like poison, and my whiskers come in in weird swirl patterns, making it more of a pain. One day in my twenties I just stopped. The beard is much easier, I just have to trim it once in a while. It's gotten less convenient since these damn wiry grey... -

SOLD Jay Kos Italian-made stingy brim, size 7 3/4
Memo - I PM'd you. The crown is just under 5 1/2, the brim is 2". Nice soft thin felt, good for all-year wear in SoCal. I like the cloth sweat a lot as well, very comfortable. Frank- frussell

I love the Fed IV!!
I'm terrible at search functions, so I apologize if I missed this. Does anyone have photos of a Fed IV Deluxe in Black? I just ordered one from HatsDirect, and I'm curious if it will be nicer than my standard Fed IV was. It's not offered on their website, they just happened to have one in my... -
Opinions on "US Wings" jackets wanted...
I've got a VIP Adventurer that I bought used on eBay, and I couldn't be happier with it. Really hard to find a good leather jacket for big boys like me. This one fits great, and is made to last. Super workmanship and leather quality, and I used to work with leather, so I'm picky. Frank.- frussell

SOLD Silverbelly Campdraft, size 63
This has been replaced by my Open Road 25, so I'll let it go to someone who will use it. No flaws, liner has been removed for the desert heat. I wore it out of the house once, shows no wear that I can see. Liner will be included, as will Akubra sizing strips and Akubra shipping carton. I've...- frussell

SOLD Jay Kos Italian-made stingy brim, size 7 3/4
This is a great little hat that was a big surprise after the crummy eBay photos. It's from Jay Kos, a store in New York that I know nothing about, but was marked to be sold at over $300. It's a nice chocolate brown, with a 3/4" ribbon, unlined, with a very comfortable cloth sweatband. Never...- frussell

movie hats that inspired you...
I liked the hat Henry Fonda wears in "The Wrong Man," Alfred Hitchcock's mistaken identity classic. I recently watched "Amelia," mostly because I thought it would have some cool hats, but they all looked like more modern crown heights and brim widths. I could have sworn Richard Gere was... -
Whats this shape? Levinson?
Thanks boys. Any info on the DuPont Process Water Repellant, or guesses as to when this hat was made? The sweatband is remarkably new, whole hat looks to have been kept in a box most of its life. Was shipped in a neat old Resistol hatbox with a plastic belt and buckle fastener on top. The... -
Whats this shape? Levinson?
Information on this strange hat. Hey guys, I just received an eBay special that I took a shot on. It's labeled a Courtney Royalten Quality on the liner, has "Royaltan Dupont Process Water Repellent and "Controlled Brim" on one side, "Harry Levinson Your Hatter, Indianapolis-Evansville" on the... -

Knox Premier with box 7 1/8
I won't keep it here long at that price, I'm losing half of what I paid for the thing. I'd just like to see a fellow lounge member grab it and use it. If it's not gone in a few days, I'll have someone throw a new sweat in it and give it to a family member. Thanks for looking. Frank- frussell

Vintage American Hat Co. Western TALL 7 5/8 to 7 3/4
Tired of looking at this hat, don't want to spend money converting it/upsizing. I think this would work great for a size 7 1/2, and if someone wanted to have a hatter convert it, it would make a superb Open Road style, or just a great cowboy hat as is. This was a good maker, and the brim is...- frussell

Knox Premier with box 7 1/8
Well, it's taking up space and making my wife way too curious about having so many hatboxes, so I need this hat to leave. Hat and original(?) vintage Knox hatbox, shipped UPS, $48 (PayPal preferred). My photos don't do this hat justice, it was a heartbreaker to see that it wasn't even close to...- frussell

Starter hat
A quick look at old Stetson ads like the ones in the "One more for the "Road"' thread will show you that as far back as the 40's, the Open Road was styled (and marketed) in both fedora and western shapes. Its modern incarnation may be in a hard-to-rebash "cattleman's crease," but the original...
