    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Thanks! This style with the simple 'tied off' bow is not one I've had before. I'll be digging back into the Miller Stockman thread...

    FS: 60's(?) Knox Foxhound size 7

    creased height 3 7/8" (from brim break to the 'valley' in the front pinch, peaks at about 4 1/4"), 2 1/8" underwelt brim. Interesting brown Heather long hair finish and woven band. There's one slight imperfection in the band visible in the first picture, but it's less readily apparent in person...

    FS: Akubra Fed IV carbon grey

    Haven't worn this in years, and the crown is just a smidgen too tall for my face. And now I need the space! Size 56 that is tight, as Akubras are after they're broken in. Asking $65 + shipping

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    "Wool" Stetson "from the fun and fashionable Upper West Side NYC estate of a former opera singer." https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MEN-S-40s-STETSON-HAT-/223189225151 Two 3ply ribbons this week, I think that's enough for now.

    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    Look behind the sweatband/under the liner for any additional paper tags. Those are important to dating Borsalinos.

    The corrugated piece between the sweatband and the inside of the crown was meant for ventilation.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Was the sole bidder on this Stetson Nutria quality western. https://www.ebay.com/itm/142976139899 (auction photo) Despite what the seller says, it looks like there is a size tag there, and those measurements look too big to actually be a size 7, so there's a good chance you'll find this...

    How to travel with hats

    Some Indy fans have noted that the wire reed (which also may have set off a sensitive scanner, according to a recent post) in Akubras can sometimes become irreparably distorted (like trying to straighten a paper clip), although nobody over here seems to have run into the issue.

    The Untouchables - Hats You Won't Part With

    somebody on Instagram randomly offered me $300 for this one. I told him it's not for sale...unless I found one in black and better condition.* Not only have I wanted a real deal Boss Raw Edge for many years, the store imprint for this one gives me some reasonable certainly that this is 100+...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    That brim is just outstanding! I don't think I've seen one like that ever

    Nice hat, but not an OR. Yours has a two ply cord where an OR would have grosgrain ribbon and a ribbon bound edge.

    Indy hat post em up

    If you could put them all in a line, they're fairly distinct. Raiders is the most unique because of the tight pinch front which goes all the way to the ribbon. It also has the infamous 'turn.' The Temple of Doom hat is shorter, and purportedly at least one contractually obligated shot of a...

    Optimo south side mobsters

    New swatches added... https://optimo.com/swatches/ I really like Elk, even though it's likely not a color I'd select for myself. Neptune blue is drop dead gorgeous. I feel like I would like onyx, though I've liked all their 'black-but-subtly-not-black' colors like space and lava.

    Hey all, skipped town for the weekend, just catching back up with this. My Borso is actually deceptively small. The open crown height was about 5" as best I could tell and the brim is at 5.5cm (so, just a hair short of 2 1/4")

    1865 Distressed Collection

    don't know why this is in a Stetson thread; but, no, I would not spend $500 on a new Bosalino. Put that money towards a custom or vintage. The quality isn't there to justify the prices they're charging.
