A Kind Gesture Enormously Appreciated
Wow! That's a cool story. The hat find alone should be etched in stone. As a vintage clothing wholesaler/collector for 15+ years, I could only hope to find the mother load such as yours. My initial reaction to you selling the entire lot of clothes was "No you didn't!"; but then it had to have been a substantial amount to sell everything. I just hope you weren't low balled. I know a vintage clothing business owner who spent almost $100,000 on USED vintage clothes when a vintage clothing store closed here some 5 yrs. ago. He would've crawled through broken glass to bring his checkbook. Anyways, I certainly hope to be an honorary member of the famous Johnnyphi Hat Club. That's if my wallet permits.johnnyphi said:Very astute... I DID find lots of great vintage clothes, and I also found a very nice couple who owns a movie wardrobe company in Upstate New York. They flew to DC, and brought their checkbook. So... Next time we see vintage BVDs in a movie, we'll wonder if those are Johnnyphi BVDs.

Long story short... I kept the hats to sell to you fine folks!
