Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Dinerman, it's a shame to have some hothead jump you with kneejerk negative feedback instead of contacting you with any issues first. I too value my 100% positive feedback and would do most anything within reason to settle a dispute. Like randooch says, maybe the cretin would consider return and...- KC Capellor

Is this a good price for a Resistol on the Bay?
In my experience, vintage Resistol hats are a very good value in general as they often sell for less than similar Stetsons. The market rightly values Stetson's long, rich history among American hat makers. Resistol San Antonios and similar Open Road clones often sell for far less than their...- KC Capellor

Is this a good price for a Resistol on the Bay?
davers, this was for you too from Resistol Roundup, congrats on capturing a KF! By the way, all Resistol Kitten Finish fedoras that I have seen (as well as their Churchill cousins) feature Cavanagh type edges, this alone well worth the price of admission in this range. KF felt is typically fine...- KC Capellor

The 3X Mess Hall
Sounds about right from what I've seen, the oilskin liner protectors are 50's and earlier, the clear plastic came in around 1960's. I think the rectangular size tag like mine is 60's and the round-keyhole shaped ones are 50's, gtdean48 may confirm. Fun research!- KC Capellor

The 3X Mess Hall
thanks tom and jared, this would be early to mid sixties then with this logo and clear plastic over embroidered picture liner? (I will probably end up selling it because it is really too small at 7 LO, I need 7 1/8 LO and I hate to stretch this clean a vintage hat. Anybody wanna trade?)- KC Capellor
