    selling my lids

    This is a dark brown peluche I have. the grossgrain ribbon has seen better days and it is missing the headliner. I have not had this serviced but the felt is still in great shape. It's stamped 100% blend of hare and wild rabbit fur and has the initials "O E" on the sweatband. The interior...

    selling my lids

    Here is my Borsalino peluche that I had refurbished at Optimo. It received a new head liner and grossgrain band. The sweat band shows some wear, but this is my favorite lid and if I'm going to let them go... let the best go first! The long axis measurement inside is 7 3/4" and across the...

    Woodrow amylite bowler 6 7/8

    I picked this up at a local auction this summer because I couldn't pass it up. It's too small for me and I can't find any info on them other than their silk tophats. Can anyone shed some light on the company for me?

    WTB Woodrow Amylyte Bowler

    I have a Woodrow Amylyte Bowler I'd be willing to part with. I have two stetsons and I don't need 3 bowlers. Well, if they all fit me, I probably would, but I will get pictures and send them to you.

    How d'ye do. Glad to be here. Now: Borsalinos (modern)

    and here is a brown borsalino peluche size 7 without the headliner. I'm torn whether to get a liner put in at Optimo considering the hat is too small and I'm probably going to sell it.

    How d'ye do. Glad to be here. Now: Borsalinos (modern)

    I've picked up a couple borsalinos in the last year at estate sales and I will keep the two that fit. Here is one of them and while it has a soft brim, it has held it's shape well and I am quite content with it!

    finally the Dobbs fedora just a beautiful lid, I don't know what I'd do other than pay a small fortune if I wasn't so close to Optimo so I can bring them multiple lids at a time! http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii552/syzygywon/DSC05265_zps23bb6951.jpg...

    mayser long hair Optimo, I can't enough of their work! This long hair had the rope replaced and what a difference from when I brought it in! It must have sat on the top shelf in the closet for years and the company that was running the estate didn't even see it! I had to fish it down with a...

    I'm lucky enough to live within a 70 minute drive from optimo in Chicago. I first heard about the place here and I can't thank the members enough! They have done some amazing work with my lids and I can't wait to be able to get my own bowler from them! Optimo replaced the ribbon and the head...

    Colbert's or Marshall Field's fur top hat

    I picked this up at an estate sale yesterday, i couldn't help myself even though it isn't my size! It has some condition issues and I know with all things vintage, condition is king, but I didn't want this lid to end up back in the attic or worse, thrown out!

    Brad, you a definitely a fountain of knowledge! Please tell me the difference as I would like to become more educated. I was thinking of listing it in ebay as I have no idea what it's worth is, but I'd much rather see someone from this site have it.
