    Disney (not the cartoon company, the hat maker) Open Road style fedora, silver belly/cream, 7-1/8

    Bought this NOS many years ago. Worn a bit, not abused — still excellent, supple sweatband, etc. DuPont water repellant treatment on tag mentioned on tag. Color is a light/creamy silver belly. Unsure how to value this — unusual company, etc — so let’s say $150 plus actual...

    FOR SALE: Premier Stetson Stratoliner, Electric Blue (vintage) - 7-1/8 - excellent condition

    Rare electric-ish blue Premier Stetson Stratoliner. Hate to let this go, but I haven't worn it in over a decade. To be clear, this is BLUE, not steel-blue or some other shade of gray. It has some dust from sitting in a hatbox the last 10+ years and that probably mutes the color some too...

    Hat restoration?

    Howdy all! I am going through my vintage hat collection and preparing to sell them...and one in particular made me think I should restore it and keep it rather than list it for sale (it is gorgeous and rare and would probably be my best hat if it fit and were restored)...a rust brown DePinna...

    Is the vintage hat market dead?

    Looking through my hats again. So, since we've established that there is a core group of folks still interested in vintage hats...is there a thread or set of rules around asking for valuation advice on the forum to prep for a listing?

    Is the vintage hat market dead?

    Wow. My last post was in 2011 (I am now 33, so my life has certainly changed since). I recall passionate collectors and dandies that looked as if they stepped out of time machine from the 1930s, with a different hat for each day of the month. There was this one guy in New York who looked...

    Is there somewhere to get my hats cleaned in the Chicago area?

    Thanks gents, I will look those up!

    Is the vintage hat market dead?

    7-1/8, mostly. Stetson, Adam, Dobbs, Knox, a bunch of other makers I can't remember. All pretty good. Example of a good one: an electric blue Stetson Stratoliner. But going back to the original question...are all the hat acquirers/collectors out of the game?

    Is there somewhere to get my hats cleaned in the Chicago area?

    Howdy, all. My main wearing hats need a good cleaning. I used to get them cleaned at Optimo, but Graham dropped hat cleaning years ago...which is about how long I've been meaning to get these hats cleaned. Are there any other options in the Chicago area? I tried some Western store in Aurora...

    Is the vintage hat market dead?

    Howdy, all. I have a decent collection of beautiful vintage hats that I no longer wear...so I will probably sell most of them over the coming months. I popped over to the classifieds section to see what was listed...since I haven't really engaged on the forum in a decade...and I see almost no...

    Calling all gentleman!

    I am a dead on fit for this but I am in Chicago. Too bad!

    New Old Stock (NOS) 1930's Borsalino Trionfo (repost with NEW PICTURES)

    I felt the old pictures did not do justice to the beauty of this fellow, but I couldn't edit the original post, so I decided to just start a new one. This hat has lovely color and lovely proportions indeed. Some of the pictures are still so-so, but I have given the hat a good brushing, which...
