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

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

    I have never had to wait more than 72 hrs. & it made me anxious. But as ePay says seven days B4 you can file a nonpayment complaint (still, I think), give 'em seven. Who knows what might have happened? Keep in mind too that eBay sends the buyer a daily reminder to pay. After seven days, all...

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

    Just scored this looker (thanks for the lack of competition, all ya'll) from th' 'bay. I love band and the tres diamantes designs -port & starboard, fore & aft. How the hell do they DO that? [huh] I have high hopes. :D

    felt,straw,and,palm leaf hats

    Me too. Palm hats are HOT, heavy, cheap & disposable. Cross them from your list. Genuine panamas (even the thick & woody cheaper ones) are far lighter & cooler and, moreover, are what people mean (& think of) when they say "Panama Hat". Wearing one in the summer is the only real option in...

    Got a hat you like, but are not wildly proud of?

    Dozens. Hundreds of $$$. But ya' cain't find a pearl without shuckin' some plain old oysters, eh? [huh] I've put one old moth smorgasbord-ed western up a tree hoping someone will use it as a nest this spring. :D

    One more recent acquisition A Royal Deluxe, mid ribbon western- It has the blood red liner & a wide BLACK sweat. From Miller Stockman. I intend to stretch one size & put in a teardrop crease. Anyone wanna speculate on a possible age?

    On a lighter note Just got this Vintage Christy's foldable, crushable, packable fur felt. the brim is about 1/8" inside my limit at 2 1/4", but I am trying to expand, eh? Looks like a bit of a stretch w/ some brushing & lexol should bring this 'un back. Hope so anyway.

    Oh...my, He told me to "FO" whatever THAT means, (you crazy kids & your int-er-net Hrummph, I understand it is simply a "series of tubes".) Anyway, it doesn't strike me as a tone to get a deal done; viz -a $2k counterfeit! This guy is ten steaming lbs. in a five lbs. sack!

    nailed it, I'm afraid...:doh: That obvious? 'At 5o, everyone has the face he deserves,' wrote the novelist George Orwell...before he died at the age of 47. :p

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Dobbs Hank-a-cheif My lightest weight felt, with diamond side vents, a silk ribbon covered sweatband and unlined, just as light as a butterfly's wing. Sorry, that grimace is what passes for a smile. lol

    Sharp eye, Lefty. I did not see that. I don't believe historical accuracy is on this guy's radar.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Straw Hat Stiffener? Is it just premature senility or do I remember a Scout, Bickmore or Kahl straw hat stiffener? All I seem to find is the felt sort. :mad:

    WTB: Black Open Road, 7-1/4 or 3/8

    About 1/2 way down the page. They claim to have 'em. (I have never done biz. w/ these folks but I do have a pending order I am waiting on...FWIW) As does Del Monico As well as Jackson's. All this took me about 360 seconds on Google. Check it out!

    Post New Hats Here!

    This 4-way is one of the best I have, well worth the price as it really expands (get it?) your selection. I wouldn't attempt more than one size tho'... unless yer feelin' lucky.
