Politics + Hats=......

It is going to arrive Monday. If it is wearable....I just might.

 

[Mr. 'H']

I'll buy it off you in London if it's too big!

Love the case

I like it and it would go nice with my Stetson 100 case and all. Way to go!

And it couldn't be going to a more deserving person. The guy in charge of the Fedora Lounge should, by definition, have the best hat around.



Now here's a question, MK: are you going to remove the little red feather from that homburg?

 

[Mycroft]

Here are some stats on his Inogruation that the hat MK got was at:
President Richard Milhous Nixon, 1969
Vice President Spiro T. Agnew

Location East Portico, U.S. Capitol
Oath Administered By: Earl Warren, Chief Justice

And, cold as it was, no one was wearing a hat.


I've heard stories (true ones, mind you) of generals, diplomats and even presidents going bareheaded to winter funerals, catching pneumonia, and dying soon afterward.

This hat is in amazing condition.....and so is the case. This is by far the best deal on e-bay I have ever had.

The best part is......it even fits!

MK,
That hat looks beautiful. I hope to see it in person one day. Perhaps, at the 2006 QM "Gathering?"

May I ask why you are selling it?

More importantly, is it really a 7 3/8?
