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

    Interesting. That's a Cavanagh Edge on a 60s Sears hat...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Outstanding. One of the nicest I've ever seen. Must be a bit of a pain to set, though. Hopefully those pins on the side are helpful! Really nice.

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

    Ooh, Leon Woolsey Togs of Oakland. Interesting. Never heard of them before, but apparently they were a big operation: Can't quite figure out where that is. But note, Lefty, that not all good hats were sold in Ohio.

    "Just put all your money right in here." Very sorry I missed this! I wonder what JtL learned about the Shady Oak from Joe Peters?

    Who gives hats a bad name?

    Bad journalists give hats a bad name. Here's the latest: http://www.insidebayarea.com/ci_17558311 "Goorin Bros., which has four locations in the Bay Area, has done its part to casualize and modernize hats by shortening brims on fedoras..." It's all about "casual" style, which I did not know...

    Stetson Open Road/Quality Designation Project

    Oh man... I was drinking out of the Smuggler's Cove mug tonight. Unfortunately loaded only with water. I have to agree with that assessement. Over $20 was a flavor of trophy hat; a luxury. My various 20s, be they from Knox, Stetson, or whoever, are superb hats, all with Cavanagh-style...

    Stetson Open Road/Quality Designation Project

    Enjoying this thread as time permits. I have a OR 25, probably from the 50s, that is quite stiff. Nevertheless, extremely fine felt. So fine that when I had Optimo replace the sweatband, Graham had to comment on that felt. Pictures... er, ASAP. But really, JtL, I can't take your...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Looks to me like the sweat was replaced. At that time they may have reblocked it. Hard to believe that wasn't a snap brim or fedora hat. Interesting that the celophane remained intact after the sweat.

    "Hats on a Stick ®"

    And that's no BS... but close enough. I have made some progress by teaching her what the word "bath" means. Which is what another of my 3X hats got today. It's pouring out here. As usual, someone asked me if my hat would be ruined by the rain... no, it's a real hat.

    "Hats on a Stick ®"

    Did I ever post this picture of my 3X and my dog with her... Shroud of Turin... ? Okay, so she just rolled in something very bad... Sorry- can't search the whole thread... hope I didn't post this before.

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

    I'd be tempted to risk the felt (since I don't think it would do the felt any harm) and stretch to long oval. But I'm more worried about the threads that have popped on the sweatband. Do you have pictures of them or a sense of how bad it is? If I were you, I'd keep it...
