Sorry if this is not relevant, but I have a question. I have now acquired 4 hats from Benchcraft Hatters from NY, what is the best way to store these in order to have access to them? I wear a different hat almost each day and do not want to place them in boxes. Are their racks to buy like in stores? head models?

JUST won a hat I've been looking for...a Statson Zephyr weight in loden green. 2 1/4" brim (which is about the minimum I will buy) and 5" crown. I'll have the crown set in a pinch-front, and that will bring it down an inch or so.

This is the photo from the auction, so it's nothing special.

Here's the auction...just concluded a couple of minutes ago. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230569119276&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

Pinch on the rear with a right hand bow. Gee, I wonder if the seller had ANY clue it was backwards? I think it will be a lot nicer than you are expecting.

I started out the day in my trusty ol' Akubra Campdraft...

and come evening time I was wearing my new pure beaver, lightweight Buckaroo Hatters fedora:

There's a great western hat, too, but I don't yet have a good picture of it.

I said it before in the other thread, but I'll say it again here, niiiiiiice, Neo!

Thanks, scotty! It feels good to be able to post a new hat again...I think this is my first new hat since October 2010 :eeek:!!! It seemed like forever .

Now that's a hat with attitude! I love it--can these be bought new?

I think the new fedora looks better than the CD. Very nice, indeed.

As far as I know and I've looked and asked around no you have to go second hand. Thank you for the complement.

That Buckaroo Hatters fedora is one great looking lid. Your Campdraft is also a looker. I purchased my bluegrass green Campdraft after viewing yours on the forum. That green is so unique and it is very hard to capture its true shade in a photo. Depending on the lighting it can appear light, medium or dark green. I love this hat. Fedoras are uncommon where I live and I am confident that my Campdraft in Bluegrass Green is as elusive as Bigfoot up here in the Great White North.

This would be a great hat to wear on campus. Looks good on you. AND 100% beaver! :eusa_clap

That's a nice tall crown/short brim '30s style Fedora !! Not used to seeing such a short brim on you

Don't know how I missed this one. I really like it. It is nice to see some variety, and this is a sharp hat. It also seems the most formal of what you have, which fills a gap created by the campdrafts.
