Stetson Royal Deluxe with Sharks-Gill Bow
Just picked up this light grey Royal Deluxe a few days ago. Had to spruce it up a bit with a good steaming. A small stain on the bottom of the brim and that's about the only thing wrong and that should come out. It has a 2 3/4" brim with a 1/4" underwelt edge but looks like a Mode Edge from the top. 5" crown as shown with a crease and a 2" black grosgrain ribbon with a sharks-gill bow. This one really holds a pinch and a crease well.

Yes, I do have one. But I think it's minimal size is 7 1/4... I think better way to stretch a hat is by wearing it. At least some of "more tight" hats fits now nice, but 1 size smaller might be different.

Purplesage - Nice hat. Love the ribbon.
Just bought this on Mother's Day (I know, I know but I got her something, too) at a vintage clothing shop. The felt is nice and thick and I love the wide brim binding.

Cool Disney Aaron, how about some head shots? What color would you call it?
That's a nice looking Royal Stetson you got PS. I have one very similar.

A rare appearance here on this thread, I found what I hoped was a fit from the past, but alas... only a 7-1/2 C & K Derby. The outside, although fairly dusty, is in excellent condition, with only a temporary bit of brim contortion from the packing. The sweatband was padded up with an Examiner newspaper from 1939. A great find, even if it is too small. My age estimate for this one is about 1930. Close?

hato - Thanks! The hat is gray with a little bit of brown in it. The ribbon is also taupe-like and darker. The brim binding is gray with a bit of blue and lighter. A funky combination.
purplesage - The brim binding is 3/4 inches.
hatsRme - Too bad it doesn't fit. Love the liner. What size is that noggin of yours again? 8?

Somewhere between 7-3/4 and 7/8. And it's rock solid...

I know I haven't been posting much recently - with only a few hats, there's a limit to how often one can post almost the same picture in "What hat are you wearing today" 
Well, since last week, I've increased my collection. I had to take a trip to London to renew my passports, and make sure I had enough time to have a look at some hat shop (See also Fedoras Afield). I finally settled on a Bates Beaver Roll Up. Yes, I know I paid a lot of money (probably, no, definitely more than a custom) for it, but I just couldn't resist

Just purchased a vintage Dobbs Twenty at a local flea market this morning: fur felt, stingy brim fedora: 1 7/8 in. brim, 4 1/2 in. crown, 2 in. black ribbon. Color? According to the paper tag still stuck on the inside of the hatband, "oliverde," other wise known as green. Not a raw edge, but folded over into a tiny welt. There is a marking on the inside of the hatband that says "Guild Edge."
There is other information on the hatband -- the hat band has "Dobbs Twenty" imprinted on it, although the "Twenty" part is faded from wear. It also is marked "Gimbels Mens Store."
The paper tag has the hat size, 7 3/8 (perfect!), color, and price, $20. Also on it are the figures "F61."
I figure it to be a vintage 1960s hat, but will bow to the superior knowledge base of this board if a different year is suggested.
Price? $15, although the seller did mention he thought it was a "$100 hat."
