A vintage custom hat by Joicy of Baltimore that I fished off the bay, sold by the late owner's son. More in the Ebay thread.

Nice one looks like a good back to school present.

Allow me to share my very first hand made fedora. Finding vintage in my size of 7-3/4 has been a challenge; so a while back I started buying some things I needed to make my own hats. See below the result of my first crack on the block.
Specs:
Crown: 5-7/8 open
Brim: 2-5/8
Sweat 24-1/4''
Body: Beaver-Winchester
Color: Steel Grey
Ribbon: Vintage US Ribbon Co. Dark Blue, roll indicates size 9
I am looking forward to making more hats…..needless to say I may be posting some of my current collection to the classified section to support the habit.
Enjoy…….feedback please.
Cheers,
Tim

Ditto! Great looking hat. Congrats!
Wow, nice Joicy Alex. I love the color, looks like a greenish gray. Pretty hat!
Alex, Super find! Is there any paper label inside? I live near Baltimore so maybe I can find out something about the maker (assuming that isn't a model name). Baltimore was actually a thriving hat making (especially straws) center back in the day.
Alan, Beautiful Stetson Homburg! Rare to find an old Homburg in a unique color. Always enjoy seeing such gems!
