    Advice on Selling Stetson Stratoliner

    As a sometimes eBay buyer and seller, I've noticed that most items that come with a box, if the original box, often get a good price.

    A confused soon-to-be-suit-wearer asks...

    Capreolus, You may want to check the StyleForum.net website as there are many from U.K. on this clothing forum. Very friendly and helpful too. I recall several posts there asking exactly what you are now. I think you can get some good advice if you ask your question there.
