Just one size up over that period of time is damn admirable! Barry Bonds is the only guy I know who's head grew 5 sizes bigger over a few years usage of steroids.....7 1/4 to a size 8
Thanks! My career pretty much required me to stay in shape, so I have always watched what I ate and workout every day. At 53 I still do[emoji106]

I just bought this Dobbs Twenty. The seller told me the size was 20.

I asked for a photos of the label behind the leather sweatband and the seller told me it was a size 70! That’s right, 70!

A lot of effort, but I think it paid off.

Looks like a 7 5/8[emoji848][emoji106] Maybe?

You are really good at finding excellent hats at a great price, Bob. You could've been a compradore to the Noble House.

"By historic custom the compradore was a Chinese or Eurasian businessman who acted as the exclusive intermediary between the European trading house and the Chinese. All business went through his hands and a little of everything stuck there."

You might be on to something here Max. :D

Read Tai-Pan to get started.

According to that block number it’s a Pontiac not a Dobbs. So there’s that.

I’m all in on this thread, Charlie. Anxious to see where it goes.

Happy New Year and it’s good to see you around.

+1 for me

I mentioned something similar a few months back when seeing these steampunk numbers. It also might help serve to document some Fouqet’s here on the lounge!
