Congrats, Randall. Super nice finds. They look good on you, too.

Thanks, Steve.

I was thinking of joining some of you guys with a Borsalino... But my midnight blue Dunderry was calling my name today

I do love that one man. Great felt color and killer bow.

Thank you Alan. I think the blue Dobbs usurped some of this hats place in my rotation but this one deserves it’s time in the sun.

Got both of these today for $50 shipped.
Be posting in the eBay victories for sure!
The brown one makes my 3rd Salvatore Balbi. Exceptional lids, all. View attachment 281731 View attachment 281732

I’d say buy a lottery ticket, but you might have already used all your allotted luck. Great hats!

50s “Butternut” Strat.
One that I took completely apart this week for a reblock, reflange and rebuild, but able to resew on all the original components.
It’s been re-Strated.
A world of difference in the shape and profile, which is mostly what I was after. Lots of work, but I’m very happy with the results.
2 3/4 brim, 5 5/8 open crown. Fits comfortably. Worth all the trouble.

Thanks, Brent.
Lucky that day, for sure!!
But yesterday I lost a beautifully colored 7 3/8 50s wide brim MacLacklen in excellent condition by stepping outside for only a moment. I had asked the seller, who had it listed auction style with a $45 starting bid, to list it at a BIN for $120 and told her I’d buy. Had to do something that took only a moment, came back inside to check and it was sold to some other lucky lottery winner!!!
This lucky dude has me to thank for his rare fedora and don’t even know!

 

[Randall Renshaw]

Great job! Looks flawless.

Thanks, Mr. Clark. I’d like to do this to many more of my personal hats, but only a few will be selected to undergo all the toil and trouble.

Eric, a woolen cap as it has always been since childhood, even if the winters have changed a lot in the last twenty years. Much more lovable, indeed, than autumns that last until spring. When the days are cold, very few in recent years, and I walk to the office early in the morning I have caps other than hats. The hats are for half the day when it warms up.
I will show the "mutation"

Oh boy do I empathize sir. Our Fall-winter cool temps find me eschewing hats for the warmth of caps most evenings. Sunny winter days my hats can be surprisingly warm. Or at least I think they are. Cheers, Eric -

The felt color is awesome.

Eric, Thank you!

Very short on sleep last night, but it should be a good day for a bike ride. If I can summon the energy.
