Couldn't even break $30...what a joke. A brand new "plastic" Milan from Stetson will cost you $90. This one is a real panama. I guess I am keeping this.

Up for sale is a spectacular 1930's Feather Weight Stetson fedora. It has a gorgeous gray heather felt that is about 95% mint. There is one or two very very small nibbles, but they are impossible to photograph. They are barely noticeable, but I wanted to mention it. Overall the hat is mint...
1930's Herbert Johnson Tuxedo hat

1930's/1940s Dunn Co (Tonak) Zephyr Seal Velour
I got this one a few months ago from ebay UK. The felt is extremely lightweight with a gorgeous color that changes from a light lavender to a light silver gray in the light. This hat was sold through Dunn & Co, but further investigation under...
