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

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
So I decide to take a shot at a Barbisio on ebay. I win it. Pay instantly, seller acknowledges, sends delivery confirmation within hours. Nice!... The next day she says she saw a couple of stains on top that she hadn't noticed before, tried to clean them out, made the hat un-salvageable, stain... -

Hat Storage
Here's my rig with all my hats minus my WW homburg and Knox top hat which are on hat stands next to my desk, across from this unit. At some point I owned about 120 but now I'm happily settled with 29 (actually 30 as there is one on its way which will go in the last remaining hook beneath the... -

Stetson Stratoliner Milan {modern}
I put vents in one of Rusty's modern straw stetsons, and it was a bit tricky for my tool. Since then, I've developed it a bit more and it can handle straw or shantung. Milan, though... I'll have to see.
