Sigh...
I just lost out on this Borsalino, when my two hundred bucks proved not enough. I didn't want to pay more, so I can't be too sad, but it sure is a beauty.

I'm doing a little hat herd-thinning, and these redundancies in my collection have got to go! I'll give them 48 hours here, and then they're off to the bay.
CHAMP SPACEWEIGHT FEDORA- Medium Gray, 7 5/8
$65, shipped via Priority Mail in the Cont. US
A nice stingy from the '60s. I love the...
Yes!
I agree completely. Brim binding aside, I will buy a Nostalgia as soon as I can, especially if I can get it with the brown sweat and white liner. If Hatco is going to get something this right, I want to support them!

Hornet!
The foldaway, a Christy's hat sold by Hornet Hats.
I have one in beige, and I really like it. I paid about $140, shipped to America. Be aware that the box comes separately.

Small Stetson 100 Gamble
Just won THIS ONE.
I don't know what this hat is, exactly. I'm hoping it really was a Stetson 100 at some point, but the lack of markings on the sweat concerns me. At any rate, I will have a lot of work to do when it arrives. The sweat will be coming out...
Storing Coleman Fuel in Plastic?
I'm reviving this thread to ask about storage for Coleman fuel. Do you guys keep it stored in plastic five gallon containers? I bought a bucket to keep the Coleman fuel in, and to soak my hats, but then I started to wonder about the plastic container reacting...

I salute you for having the taste and mindset to decide what works for you and go with it. Sorry it was an expensive prospect, but it's worth it if it helps you wear your hats with confidence.

I assume feltfan was just talking about the fact that this may be a Christy's hat. I don't think that's a big deal. Other vendors carry the Christy's packable a little or a lot more, depending on the exchange rate, but not in the color choices offered by Hornet. That's why I pulled the...
Egads! I've been had!
Yeah... I saw it, and decided it's still worth a shot. I've looked high and wide for a decent packable. It's one of the few things my collection lacks, and I think the Hornet is a good gamble.
I'll let you know if it pays off.

Hornet!
Thanks for the tip on Hornet, Rick. I just placed an order for the foldable fedora. I'll let you all know what I think when it arrives!
Best,

I don't know for sure, but that often means that someone made the seller an offer they couldn't refuse, so they ended the auction and sold it directly. Not really cool to other potential buyers, but it happens.

Resistol Kitten Finish
This ever happen to anyone else... you see a hat you not sure you really want, but you throw down a pretty low bid anyway, figuring you'll never win it. Then, a week later, you get the damn thing!
Well, it just happened to me on this Vintage Resistol Kitten Finish...
Hard to choose...
It would either be a lightweight, vintage Borsalino in a light beige, or a nice old Strat in silverbelly, with the pin and original box.
I think I'll go with the USA... gimme the Strat!
