Recommendations for stingy straw hats

[Leonard Leroy]

I'm hoping to grab one on Ebay but the pickings are slim when you need a 7 1/2. Any brands I should look out for? On Ebay or in store. I'm based in NYC if that matters.

Actually, I just fell in love with fedoras recently, what are good brands to keep an eye out for on Ebay, vintage or otherwise?

I know Stetson... Dobbs... what else?

Glad to have ya here Double L ! All I can suggest is keep checking the Bay, most times a few stingy straws show up in my searches. [search for straw hats]

Biltmore on e-bay

I own a Biltmore straw I bought form a local shop two summers ago. Seems to be holding in there all right. You can find a fair amount on E-bay that look pretty good. Just look up Biltmore hats and check out the stores.

I bought a new Stetson straw (actually, palm fibre) last year:
