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

    Not me - but even though it's a narrower brim than I prefer it's a great looking lid. Sorry you were outbid.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Deputy, I like a green lid, and that Campdraft looks great with the shirt. Fine work out there!

    Johnnyphi Hat Club

    Mario, most people would not understand that comment, but I believe all of us here understand how you feel! Thanks for the comment. It's very nice light felt; a good summer lid. I don't really have a feel for it because I'm leaving the factory crease.

    Johnnyphi Hat Club

    Lee Adventure, courtesy of Johnnyphi NOS, with a couple little moth nibbles here and there. It's gray, but in certain light takes on a very light blue color. I haven't determined whether or not I'll recrease, but probably not. It's the only factory creased hat I have, so in that regard it's...

    Johnnyphi Hat Club

    Johnnyphi and Tooch, I got one of the Royalists as well, and it may be a mystery, but I think it's really nice felt! I like the hat. It's moldable and light enough I leave it open crown until I'm ready to wear it. I'll post it sometime, but first the Lee...

    Lee Adventure Here's a Lee Adventure, courtesy of Johnnyphi. It's a nice light felt and in NOS condition. A couple minor moth nibbles. Overall a very nice hat with a gray tone, and in the right light it looks light blue.

    "Uncontested - The Champ"

    Champ Diplomat This was an Ebay find that arrived in the size advertised and in great shape. The only issue is a small stain on the liner, but it is otherwise beautiful. It came open crown in a Champ Diplomat box, but nowhere on the hat does it say Diplomat. The felt is fairly thick, but...

    I understand completely, and probably would feel the same way. By the way where did you say you live? Do you own any pit bulls?

    Moth Damage Repair

    Come to think of it, I believe mine was the Elmer's as well. I think my only mistake was rushing it a bit and ending up with a bit of a hardened BB type thing in the divot. A bit too much glue. It looks fine, but doesn't fee like the rest of the felt.

    Crease & leave vs Crease & wear???

    Zetwal, if you had waited a bit to put that old thread link in there we might have seen another cool reply from Lefty saying "Click Here" and the answer would have come up! Oh well, maybe it's not too late. :)

    HosMan: I'm pretty sure Corky was replying to Jeff Connors question in a post that was previous to yours. Check back, as someone may write in to offer you some advice.

    Moth Damage Repair

    ScottF - yes I have tried Gene's moth repair method. I didn't use the same adhesive spray he used as I couldn't find it. I used a different brand. However, it worked quite well on a deep moth divot. It wasn't through the felt, but deep and noticeable right above the ribbon at the front...

    At the Dog Track... The Whippets

    GWD, let me just state for the record, I love those earthy tones, and if you ever decide to rid yourself of that hat, I'm in OC as well. I think we have the same hat size too! :D

    Royal De Luxe Stetson

    You have a couple different creases in your photos, and it looks like it will take a new crease so easily - it looks like great felt. How's it feel? I have one Royal Deluxe that is very soft and malleable.

    That brim is a bit narrower than I prefer, but I'm with Mario - that's a great looking hat! Nice color, etc. It just works! I'd even keep the feather...
