What hat are you waiting for today?

Looks like you picked up another Musketeer. That Adam is great, too. Can't wait to see detailed pics.

Wowza! Very nice Joe! Do I see another Musketeer? I think I do :)

Congratulations and enjoy them. Great additions to an already fine collection.

I believe you guys are correct. I haven’t really seen the Musketeer around much. You have one correct Jim? I’m looking forward to digging into them in a bit.

It is a lovely hat, I found one not long ago. The felt is very nice and workable.

I haven't seen one until Jim mentioned he had one and I didn't know the name. Another member found the information. I want to say it was Mr. Hatman.

Yes, yours and Hector's look to be in better shape (but mine is my size!). Carouselvic identified it and posted an ad for it.

Wow.. definitely an unusual feeling felt. I looked around the lounge and didn’t see them mentioned too often.. I saw Art made a conversation/reproduction of one for a client about 10 years ago.

This one is a VERY light grey with an almost light blueish hue

Looking good Joe! Mine is a great fit. It is weird with vintage hats and my melon. I can go up to a 3/8 or down to a 1/8 and depending on the type of hat and condition of the sweatband, I can get away with it.

Thanks Hector... that is very true. Never know. These are 7s. That fit fine I have 6 7/8 that are snug.. and some loose. Have a 7 1/8 that arrived earlier this week fits fine... others I add felt strips.

took a chance on a couple 6 3/4 that were pretty unique.. will arrive tomorrow.. they were very cool.. had a good story. And a great deal... so we shall see if I can squeeze into em. LOL

Here are two hats that should arrive today.. Two very cool.. but also very small hats at 6 3/4. They belonged to the great grandfather of the woman I purchased them from. He was a Chief of Police and survivor in Poland in WWII. Even if I can’t make them work. I Got them very right and they have a cool story
