STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY
A Stetson 7X clear beaver dress hat with mode edge and wide ribbon purchased in 2011. The hat had undergone some modifications from its original owner and was quite soiled from use when it arrived. I sent the hat to Optimo in Chicago where it was cleaned and a new ribbon and sweatband installed... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Old caps were far less likely to survive the depression than old hats. This one was a happy purchase from some years back... it was listed on eBay with a buy it now of $5 but had no takers. I had missed it and the auction expired but saw a note on this thread from esteemed member Lefty. The... -

Old caps were far less likely to survive the depression than old hats. This one was a fun purchase from some years back... it was listed on eBay with a buy it now of $5 but had no takers. I had missed it and the auction expired but saw it posted on the Fedora Lounge. The seller was kind enough... -

@MikeinRome, I think doing some additional research on eBay bidding practice will help you understand snipes and ease the gripes. Also, please keep in mind that Bill has been a contributing member here for 15 years. I’ve received some incredible vintage hats and valuable hat knowledge from him... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
A few thoughts... certainly the last minute bid was done through a sniping service. It might have been five hundred dollars more than your bid, but of course only the necessary amount above the last bid is what the item will sell for. I've never used a sniping service, but always bid during the... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Shudde Bros. did renovations for Stetson Hats and part swapping appears to have been fair game. I’ve owned a couple, indicated by a stamp RENSH on the inside of the sweatband. Use the era of the latest part to gauge the age. -

Western, anyone?
Kind and generous words, thank you. There are a number of tremendous hat collections that have crossed these pages in the 20 or so years the Fedora Lounge has been open. Unfortunately, many of the content links are no longer functional and many members have drifted in and out or moved away... -

Keith Brothers Hats & Caps
+1... thanks for sharing. Fur felt of unknown composition and earlier than 1934 from the union label. The feather is likely added at a later time. Wonder if it's hiding some damage or stain and if the original ribbon is still in place underneath. It's a rare bird - enjoy it! -

Western, anyone?
I hate to mess with a historical hat. I have another old nutria furry western (not Stetson) in black with a sunflower yellow ribbon and matching binding in a similar condition. I've left that one original as it is too large for me to wear. This one fits and I didn't think I would wear it outside... -

A large Clear Nutria... originally came with a wide brim binding that matched the ribbon. It was shredded to tatters and I decided to remove it.
