Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Ok, what was wrong with this one? It's an Imperial Stetson so I thought it would go for HUGE money. Did I miss something about it that is should of sent up a red flag? John http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160286346952 -
I have finally found a vintage bowler in a size that fits me - 7 3/4!
Dumbjaw - beautiful bowler you have there. I would love to see photos of the liner, etc. and Carter - good idea. My Stetson "1900 Worlds Fair, Paris" bowler in 7 1/2 LO -

Dumbjaw, I saw that one too and sent an email a couple of days ago trying to get clarification on the size - no response, so I passed. If it was a 7 5/8 someone got a heck of a deal. John -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Pulled the trigger on this one even though I'm not supposed to buy anymore hats - couldn't help it - supposed to be from the 1930s and it had "the look." Anybody have a Miller Hat from Denver? What do ya'll think? Thanks! John -
Nutria Nation
Ok, maybe I'm being a little optimistic thinking there are enough of us Nutria hat owners to be a "nation" - "neighborhood" might be more accurate but it doesn't sound as good. I just got my first Nutria hat and the more that I look at it and touch it, the more I'm thinking that it might be the... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Got my Nutria A couple of photos of the hat with some period accoutrements. Hat is both soft and tough - hard to describe - very comfortable on my head - could become my favorite knock-around hat and also be used for cowboy action matches. John -
Stetson liners with horses?
I did a search on this without success. I just got my nutria hat with the liner depicting a cowboy riding a horse. Other Stetsons I've seen show the now famous cowboy kneeling on the ground giving his horse a drink out of his hat - does anyone know the dates these liners were used? Here's... -
And Now...A *Great* Grandfather Hat: Stetson Playboy
Terrific hat and story! The backwards bash has me intrigued. Was this common as I've never seen another like this? It would be interesting to see photos of him wearing it this way - hint, hint? John -

A assessment of the designation "Nutria Quality"
Paul, I appreciate your reply. Your Tom Mix hat sounds interesting - is it "nutria quality" or "clear nutria?" Also, wouldn't your Stetson 100 be 100 percent Beaver? If you want some place to wear the Tom Mix hat, you could go to a "local" Single Action Shooting Society club shoot and... -
My 1st custom from MajorMoore!
Geez Indycop - be a man - put your foot down and say I'm opening this package woman! Oh crap, here comes my wife - gotta go. John -
Who are these people?
Feltfan, My problem right now is that what I think are "big bucks" and what are in reality "big bucks" is pretty far apart. I got that nutria Stetson today for what I would term big bucks. However, if Carter would have been awake it would have been more or not at all. So, are there hats I... -
A assessment of the designation "Nutria Quality"
For those interested in what exactly "Nutria Quality" might mean vis-a-vis Beaver hats, take a look at this catalog from 1940... -
Who are these people?
David, I didn't think they were that kind of money great but apparently I'm living in the past. The most recent one was a light brown Stetson Royal Deluxe in 7 1/2 witha 2 3/4" brim - it was beautiful! I bid up to $250 and it went for $362, I think. The $250 bid was what I thought would... -

Who are these people?
The two most recent were 7 1/2 and 7 5/8 - evidently my head tends to swell during certain times of the week making some 7 1/2s a little snug so I go after both sizes. Your size must be a real problem? -

Who are these people?
Geez - I guess "these people" is "Meese people" in other words me - I just paid $255 for a nutria Stetson! I don't know what happened except that none of my 9 hats are nutria and I was blinded by, as Tortswon so aptly put it, "a shiny object." As Bugs would say - what a Maroon! John -
Who are these people?
I guess I should have realized that "these people" could actually be "weese people" on this forum - I need to calm down and just save up if I'm going eventually buy one of those big-headed hats. Thanks for the insights! John -
Who are these people?
Who are these people that can spend $350-450 or more for a vintage hat? I have been outbid on several large-size hats recently that have gone into the stratosphere with prices bid. Is this a trend that members of this forum already knew about and I've just been out to lunch on? If so, I'm...
