I was so looking forward to receiving this one. Listed as a green 30's Penney's Marathon Extra Quality 7 3/8. It sat for over a month in my watch list, finally I ordered it after I let thst beat up Whippet go last week. It got here a few minutes ago, I pulled it out of the box only to find that it's a size 7.

Here's pics anyway.

I was so stoked to see the spiral stitched brim, then I put it on....sent in a return request. Hope it doesn't turn into a huge hassle.

Thats a shame it ended up being so small. You might consider just putting it up for sale on the lounge though, its a beautiful old hat and i'm sure theres a size 7 on the lounge, myself included who'd happily take it off your hands.

 

[moehawk]

I will consider that once I hear back from the seller. Dang I wanted this one to work! Also considering sizing it up.

Bummer, Moe. That's be a lot of upsizing, though.

Wow size 7. That stinks. Hope you can return it!

That's a cool hat Moe.... I love the concentric stitching. How disappointing.... sorry man. Looking at the listing I would guess the mis-measurement was an honest mistake. He's probably not a hat guy.I doubt you will have any trouble returning it.

Thanks for the sympathy, guys. It is a mega bummer. I had wanted a spiral-stitch for a while, seeing it on this hat just made it worse.
Yeah, the upsizing was just a thought, although my old Young's was a 7 and my OR was a 6 7/8, the Young's was thrashed and the OR is a late 60's. This one is just too old and in nice shape to take apart. If the seller balks I'll just try selling it here.

My new Stetson Stetsonian arrived today. Kudos to Delmonico Hatters for good service. They made it a long oval, as I requested, and the fit is perfect.




The felt was a bit stiffer and thicker than I had expected, much more so than the Premier Stratoliner I bought last year. It took a bit of work with a steam kettle to get it to take shape. I stuck a quick version of a diamond bash in it.


This is a good, substantial hat with classic proportions. I like it a lot.

Yes it is and so do I. You wear it well.

 

[Knotten]

Thanks, Bama. This hat feels like it would stand up well to bad weather. I may try it out in the snow we're expecting tomorrow.

Congratulations! That Stetsonian is a real big, thick, strong hat. I got one from Delmonico last year and it took me a long time to work it and block it to satisfaction. It looks great on you! Enjoy....

Adding to the new hat Stetson hit parade, my new lid arrived this afternoon as well. I was looking to replace a hat that I passed on to my lawyer and life long buddy some years ago. It was a common Caribou Temple. While surfing the web, much to my surprise, I found that Stetson made the exact same hat in beaver felt. They named the beaver version the "Pinnacle"

The beaver is very nice. I am quite impressed with the weight and general construction of this hat. A nice upgrade to an old standard.

Picked this up this 30's era Bond from Miami Bruno. Fantastic hat all around.

I haven't bought a hat in a while, but I walked into a Thrift store yesterday and saw this and had to buy it. A vintage Willis Geiger Safari hat with a real zebra hide trim.

Knox Premier Quality

 

[Resistolero]

eBay Akubra Colly. Purchased with the hat band and strap installed. I only later found out that the band and strap are David Morgan exclusive products, and are together worth almost as much as the hat.

The dimensions and hatband look great!
