    -SOLD- Pantropic Panama Optimo Montecristi

    Very fine, very light. Light as a butterfly's wing. The style just doesn't suit me. Trade for a Monte fedora or a vintage Stetson vita-felt or a Knox "foxhound" (I have a gamebird & Rainbow), a VS thin ribbon, Stetson 100 or Stetson Nutria or....? Or I will crassly accept $150 PayPal...

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

    Quick BIN on a vevety plush looking Knox Looks old to my eye as well. I imagine it to be a deeper, midnight blue as seen on the underbrim rather than the washed out overexposed blue on the over-all shots. I hope there will be a thin ribbon under that dead chicken. [huh]

    Been a while: trying to decide between Cabela's Stetson and Borsalino Casual Crusher

    NNNnnnoooooo ->Insert Demeaning & uncomplimentary remarks regarding contemporary Stetsons here<- Please- find an Akubra that suits you. Akubra are 10x the hat a modern Stetson is, IMO. And I think others would concur.

    I doubt you would find it too high, particularly if creased into a C crown, but maybe you'd find the Akubra a good fit. Good luck & let us know.

    Consider OLNEY from the UK IMO- Forget the Borso, it is a pale imitation of the name Look here for discussion of an Olney fur felt crusher, sounds like it might suit ya'. I found a current vendor here, but there must be others. It's a great travel hat. Also, I have had every permutation of...

    FS Size 10 Handmade Italian Maremmano Upland Rough Boots - Waxed Leather

    As seen & purchased here. Worn twice, maybe. The shaft at 10" is too big for my girlish calves (@ 12" circumference). :eusa_doh: From the ad: "Crafted to exacting standards of the finest Italian waxed leather, Handmade Maremmano Upland Rough boots bring a distinguished look and outstanding...

    Willis & Geiger NOS Original Pieces from the 80's

    To Reiterate IMO both brands are highly desirable & collectable. A & F (prior to be rebooted as kiddie city) and W & G outfitted Hemingway, Roosevelt, Earhart et al. I'm in.

    Lovely & rare Stetson Open Road STYLE (i.e.- no where identified as an "Open Road" -also note unbound brim!) in A+ shape w/ the original box (also in very good condition). A SNUG size 7 1/4.
