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

    DOBBS FIFTH AVENUE Just got a good deal on a vintage Dobbs Fifth Avenue. It has some moth nibbles, but it doesn't look like they're very conspicuous. I'll have to dunk it in Coleman fuel when it arrives, to be sure the little critters are dead. It looks pretty nice. If it's very green...

    Highest price paid, lowest price paid for your fedora.

    My custom Art was my most expensive, and worth every penny. The most I've paid for vintage was $140, for my mint Whippet from 1950. Also very much worth it. And, I've spent similar amounts for johnnyphi hats, and have been thrilled to do so. As Art once said, the great vintage hats are...

    Thanks. Sorry about that, guys. I REALLY wanted that one. I've been chasing a nice Stevens for a long time. It was the brand my grandpa was likely to wear. Anj

    Long Oval Hat Stretcher

    Long Oval Stretcher I bought a stretcher billed as a "Long Oval Stretcher" a few years back. Turned out to be something of a scam. It had the exact same shape as my other stretcher. I did modify it, though, and it's useful now. I simply used a bandsaw to take a little width off the...

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    Fed Deluxe! Got my Federation Deluxe from hatsdirect today. Great service from those folks again. As you can see, I bought my Fed in black. I don't want the Indy look, really, but I thought this hat was a bargain. I wanted a traditional black hat that I could wear with heavy winter...

    I thought about that one long and hard. In the end, a hundred felt a little steep because of the missing liner and the stitching around the sweat. I do think it's a nice hat, and probably fairly priced... I'm just talking about my own budget. Anj

    AUCTION #113: Lee - Corral - Size 7 1/2 - C0000228980 - SOLD

    Color? Johnny, Can you describe the color for me. I ask because of monitor variations, and because I just don't see color that well. Is this hat gray? Blue Gray? Thanks, Anj

    Dating Vintage Stetsons by Liner: A Field Guide

    Whippet Liner For what it's worth, DJ, that is the same liner I have in my Whippet, which was sold in Philly in December of 1950. My liner, though, has the matte finish on the crown part of the liner instead of the glossy. Anj

    I guided a friend of mine who has been looking for a bowler toward that Stetson, and he won it. What's the history with that hat here? I wasn't aware of anything. Anj

    Vintage Royal Stetson- 7 1/2 Long Oval

    This hat is going back to the seller. As you can read HERE, I recently received a hat that wasn't what I bought. I have the option of returning, but I thought I'd see if anyone here wants it, first. It is a vintage Royal Stetson, maybe from the '50s. Styled as a homburg kinda thing now...

    Oofa... Wrong Hat Delivered! Well, that didn't work out so well. Got the... sorry, got A hat the other day, but not the one I bought. Instead of the OR style thing in my size, I got a nice gray/brown vintage Royal Stetson. It's actually a pretty neat and unique hat, but not one I really...

    Thin Ribbon shots from movies

    Touch of Evil I love Orson's hat in Touch of Evil, which is also one of my very favorite films. In case anyone is interested, here's an essay I wrote about the movie awhile back: http://www.andeparks.com/touch_of_evil.htm Anj
