The T&J mentioned in an earlier post (where the pictures were missing) was mine. I dug up the picture and here is a shot of the damage. Still breaks my heart!

I'll cheat and just provide a link to a couple of shots of my collection. Nothing new since this was posted. Oh except the beautiful Dobbs Fifth Avenue that M_Jones was kind enough to gift me after my terrible smoking hat tragedy! Thanks again M_Jones...
Just wanted to give a heads up. I was out and about today and stopped in to the Antique Exchange at Broadway and Florida. Judy has a good-condition Cavanaugh in a 7 3/8 Extra Long Oval for $42. It's not in excellant condition, a few stains on the ribbon, but it is in pretty decent shape. I'm...
BK, your pictured doesn't seem to have come through and I'd love to see what could be worse. LOL And yes, I'm afraid it was indeed a 7 3/8. So sorry! Believe me I VERY sorry this happened!

You know, the thing that really kills me is this is absolutely the finest, softest felt I have come across in my small collection of hats. I just don't know if I will ever be able to replicate it or find something as nice. Of all the damn hats to do this to! Argh!!!!

IndyCop, It was not a custom, simply a very nice Knox that I was lucky enough to find in a local antique store...for $38!!! Waaaaaaaa

I had a terrible terrible thing happen last night. Here is what led to the disaster... I head over to my local watering hole for a bit of liquid refreshment and karaoke. I walk in and am instantly handed my favorite mixed beverage by the lovely bartender, Rosie. A little conversation at the...
Fred,
There is a place along the same street, Broadway, farther South than Flossie McGrews, just north of Hamden called Ted's Clothiers that carries Scala brand hats. They also claim to carry authentic Panama's from Equador. I can't vouch for them, but they did have a fairly decent...
I've just recently booked my first ever cruise to the western Caribbean leaving from New Orleans in December. Any suggestions on what hat(s) to bring? I'm really curious if I'll even be able to wear one onboard...or will it simply fly off the ship?! Any suggestions? Lightweight Playboy or...
Ok, so, I'm in a new (to me) part of Denver this weekend(41st and Tennyson), dropped my sister off to shop so I walked around the couple of blocks worth of little shops. There were a couple of antique stores so I figured I'd check em out. 1st place had a huge collection of vintage toys and...
I seem to find most of my (vintage) fedoras in antique stores around the metro area. I've taken a couple to the guy at Shepplers off of Orchard to have them cleaned...he did a fair job, and didn't charge too much if I recall. I believe he makes some customs too..nice guy...go in and chat with...
To be wearing a vintage Stetson in the rain? Now honestly, that's why I buy a hat...to keep the rain and snow and sun off my face. But will I be persecuted for getting a nice vintage hat wet? Your thoughts please..and quickly...it's raining here and I have to leave work soon!
