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

    So the other day, I opened my big fat mouth in the "Holy Grail" thread and proclaimed that I had basically acquired all the hats I really wanted. Of course what did I end up doing this week? Buying two more hats on eBay. So in addition to the blue Dobbs on the previous page, I'll be receiving...

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

    Thanks gents, it looks like a nice hat. I've had some good scores on these 50's-60's hats. I will definitely post noggin pics when it arrives. Blue will be a new color for me, and not one in my usual wardrobe (such as it is), so this will be interesting!

    Nice! I love my supernatural and it's not even as fresh looking as that one. Hopefully you get to show it off a few more times this year.

    HOLY GRAIL? /What fedoras are you pining for?

    I've basically acquired all the hats I really want, save for waiting on my Adventurebilt. Now, I'd like to get a nice heather/misto Borso, or a really snazzy Homburg like Al's (Caxton maybe?). Though I wouldn't turn away a nice 7x CB either.

    Fedoras afield

    Very nice! Hard to beat the OR style, it's a classic look.

    Not sure what hip hop has to do with anything... The felt is finished differently to give a different look. To my eyes, the grey 'smooth finish' looks a bit more velourish than the non-smooth finish.

    Its also not easy to make out any details when you presen pictures with double exposures and taken as reflections off glass. We can tell you it's a stingy brim hat, that's black. Without detailed pics, that's about the most we can say.

    Where Can I Get Hat Repair In The United Kingdom ?

    Why not take it back to Lock? I'd imagine Bates would be able to replace the sweat as well.

    "Bash." Not a hatter's term?

    Coming into fedoras from the Indy world, I picked up "bash" initially. As I've come to know more about hats, and appreciate the qualities of a good hat, I've come to prefer "crease." It just seems more fitting to me.

    Fairly modern Stetson, probably 80's or so. Check to see if there's a tag under the sweat which will have the model name. Otherwise, it's really anyone's guess as to what it's called.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    WOW! This is one of those hats that you can just see at first glance that 'they don't make 'em like they used to.'

    No idea how to clean a cut and sew cloth fedora. For fur felts, for dust/lint and general upkeep you'll want a hatbrush. Light stains can often be removed by a hat sponge. There are commercial products available (Scout seems to be a popular brand) as well. Eventually, the hat will need to a...
