Adam Executive in 7 5/8 - Restored & Ready To Show Off

I've been coveting an Adam Executive after seeing JohnnyPhi's auctions, but I had never, in my several years of scouring eBay and vintage shops, seen a single one in my size. I just really liked the look and the dimensions. Neat hats.

About three weeks ago, I managed to find one and win one for under $30.00 shipped. I doubt I'll ever come upon a steal like that again, believe me! It did come with a bit of a price, though - the hat was fairly mangled, but it came with the original hatbox and I was happy just to have it.

Last week, I walked it on over to South Street Hats in my neighborhood and took it to Oscar. He said he'd bring some life to it and that I'd have it in a week's time. For a reblock, clean, and stretch, he charged me all of... $8.00. Amazing.

I got it back today. Here are pictures. I think I might like it! Take note that the size and color is still written on the hatbox.

You are the man!

That's two for two today, Matt! Clean, stretch, and reblock for $8.00 and within walking distance; it doesn't get better than that! Great hat! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

That's a great story and great looking hat. And, I don't think you have any reason at all to apologize for that great pic of you wearing it.:eusa_clap

That was a great purchase dj. It looks fantastic. You certainly lucked out with that hat shop. My nearest haberdasher is about 25 miles away:(
