If all goed well with the delevery this time.

As close as I'll get to a *** Prince:

Yes, another black homburg, but the price was right.

Finally found a nice black 59cm Akubra Banjo Patterson in black at a decent price. Another Heritage felt Akubra soon to be on my wall! ( and on the head)

Another swing at a cap, looks to be 1930s or 1940s dogtooth, original price tag attached, size 7 1/4

Hoping to flip the Open Road to finance the Lee Bon Voyage.

Just received notification that I have 2 hats moving on deck. 4 others are in various stages and one is in for resizing. In 2025, I should have some new hats.

Miller Fine Hats, Denver CO. 4X Quality. I think I really overpaid for this raggedy hat, and will dump more money into it to fix it up, but this seems like the oldest Miller I've seen and I'm thinking/hoping it's from the 1920's, if not earlier.

Good luck, Mike.

2025 seems to be starting early. Details coming.

Glad you got that one. Joe. I was watching that one and was surprised it didn't sell the first time around. A Borsalino homburg in blue still eludes me.

Waiting on my first Stetson to join the Akubra/Resistol collection...

Skyline 6X in chocolate.

Stetson are hard to get in Aus at the moment, and I seem to have found the last size 60 available (win).

Stetson... I'm very impressed and easily my favourite in the line-up right now...

Maybe just in time before 2025.

I was watching the first time too… and forgot to bid. That mistake only Cost me a week and an extra 6 bucks LOL. That seller had three really nice hats that did not sell very well.. not sure why. Was glad to get one of the three great deals!

Shocking though that is a missing spot in your incredible collection. Certainly though one of those real dark blueberry ones? Can’t remember the name… mirtillo is it?

You would think that, but blue Borsalino homburgs are quite rare.

I’m not entirely sure what I bought. Looks pretty old and my size. Brief research looks like dating depends on the dimensions

Congrats! Looks like a Sears Carlsbad. Here's a link to one I found a few years ago, and some other examples exist here on the forum:

Nice get on the Malrov cap, too. I have a fedora from them as well.

This was great info. I was able to find the catalogue number inside the hat so it is the ‘natural sand’ from the 1938 catalogue.
