Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Got my Stetson Imperial today - what a lid! The softest, nicest felt hat that I own. I don't know what the percentages of different furs are that make up the felt but Stetson hit it out of the park with this one. John -

Stetson Quality Experiment "Think Tank"
Lefty, No problem - I didn't take it that way. Interesting observation about the "Excellent Quality" hats - the designations that were used really don't make much sense to me. John -

Dunhill Shell Briar
I have a thing for Dunhill shells and buy them from estate sales or ebay. The following is a photo of 3 Dunhills shells and a Parker (on top) - supposedly a Dunhill second made in 1933 but I can't find anything wrong with this pipe - a beautiful blast. The bottom is a Prince ca. 1919-1921 and...- Levallois

Pipes
Dunhill Prince with a military mount - dates to 1919-1921 - I wish I had better photos but you can see the grain of the shell. An absolutely incredible smoke! John- Levallois

Wouldn't wear it on a rainy day, but ...
TonyB, Just an outstanding look for a hat! My problem with it is the same as me wearing white or lighter color shirts - I'm too much of a slob - it would get dirty and that would be a travesty. John -
Decade that was the peak of hat quality?
All other things being equal is there a difference in the overall quality of the felt used to make hats in each of these decades? For example, is a Stetson Royal made in the 1940s a better quality than one made in the 50s? Thank you for your time. John
