I won this hat on Ebay, but I'm not sure exactly what this hat is. :p
Can anyone offer any tips or suggestions on what to wear with this hat?
Also, does anyone know the approximate age of it?
For me, this says it all. The fact that we wear a hat that is not considered "normal attire" surely casts us as rebellious, or at least, demanding attention. Non-conformity is the essence of individuality.

I got my first fedora!
Thanks to everyone's help, I went for it and won the vintage Dobbs fedora on ebay! :)
I probably paid too much, but I got caught up in the rush of bidding. Anyway, it looks like a great hat, and I can't wait to get it!
typical brim size?
Thanks guys...
The brim does look small. What would be considered a typical (or desirable) brim size?
7 5/8 vintage hats seem to be hard to find. Any good sources other than ebay?
Hey ya'll!
I've been lurking here for a month or so trying to glean as much info as possible. So far, I've learned a lot.
But... (typical, obvious questions to follow) :rolleyes:
I'm ready to buy my first "real" hat, probably a fedora. I've found the following on ebay and was...
