Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I assume the watch counter is based on viewers adding the item to their watch list rather than being page hits which is why some listings have a counter added to their listing's html to track page views. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
The web interface into the search engine on ebay stinks! But it seems to have gotten worse lately. I just did a search on the string "homburg hat" and it also returned hats not flagged anywhere in the description or any other field for that matter as a "homburg" so I appear to be seeing the... -
Thoughts on Freewheelers "Rainier"?
Good idea as it's always better to be 100% sure than guessing! ;) Especially if you are going to buy one on ebay or via overseas mail order and then find out it is too small or too large. Returning is not fun for anyone. There are plenty of hat retailer web sites on line that explain how to... -
Thoughts on Freewheelers "Rainier"?
7 1/8 is a smaller size. Do you have a tailors measuring tape? This is the flexible cloth type you can wrap around your head to get your exact size. -
Thoughts on Freewheelers "Rainier"?
All of the American hat companies make stingy brimmed hats as those are the most popular to the general American public that is under 40 years of age. Stetson (and their other brands like Dobbs) and Bailey are two makers that come to mind off the top of my head. Don't know if they have dealers... -

Thoughts on Freewheelers "Rainier"?
What's your metric hat size (cm) or US size? As has already been pointed out if you have a small size head there seems to be an endless supply of small size gorgeous fur-felt hats from the 1950's and 60's all over the place here in the States and therefore many for sale on ebay with the narrow... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
It gripes me too but there are also lots of other stuff on ebay often mis-dated or mis-identified. I don't know if this seller knows it or not, but I think most are just ignorant dreamers hoping to make a quick buck selling stuff they find at estate/garage sales and thrift stores, etc. I run... -
Beaver Brand Hats
Nice hat. Does this one have a model name associated with it? I believe "Classic" is used by them to refer to their felt grade, but I could be wrong and it could be it refers to the styling of certain hats they sell. Too bad this company is closing their doors this Wednesday (10/31/12)... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Nice 50's (mid-century as you say) and that seller has it listed as a 30's! I suspect this seller is more un-informed rather than intentionally lying, but the way they write their listings they certainly come across as if they think they are informed experts so that almost makes it lying. They... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I know what you mean but even if it legally does constitute "mail fraud" there is the unfair reality that many things don't get prosecuted anymore unless large sums of money are involved--like tens of thousands of dollars or more! Criminals know that too often and use it to their advantage... -

Has anyone received any emails from paypal lately about changes in their dispute process? Looks like these take effect soon. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Sorry to hear that---definitely stinks! :rage: What about putting in a credit card claim? Might not work, but worth a try--I assume you use a credit card with your pay pal account. Will ebay let you leave negative feedback for this---I assume so, but maybe if they side with the seller they... -
Beaver Brand Hats, gone?
I finally called Beaver Brand today and talked to a person there. Confirmed they are closing and their last official day is 10/31. Their stock of hats is sold out and they are taking no more orders. Didn't grill the lady that I talked to about the reasons (doubt if she knew all of the details... -
What to Wear with a Deerstalker
There's a little bit about the deerstalker at http://www.fashionencyclopedia.com/fashion_costume_culture/European-Culture-19th-Century/Deerstalker-Cap.html that is interesting. Includes some info about what to wear with it. You might also watch http://www.sierratradingpost.com for coats and... -
Fedora Lounge Edition {Everything Australian } Akubra Camp Draft 2 5/8s brim
Great! Maybe we'll start a new trend or at least if more people know such a thing is possible it will be easier to get this done with other models/colors as well. -

anti-hat article | The Guardian UK
I think you may be on to something. Probably some insecurity about her own looks as well. Looking at the few pictures of her that I could find showing her outfits she could use some help with makeup and dressing as well. In the end who cares what she says---I sure as hell don't! -
Fedora Lounge Edition {Everything Australian } Akubra Camp Draft 2 5/8s brim
What if someone else had ordered one of these that wasn't on the Fedora Lounge...A bunch of those would have been cool! -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
The clarification helps. I take it the seller used your confirmed zip code and perhaps picked some random real address in your zip code. And the post office has no record of the address that it was sent to? That doesn't give me much confidence in them! If you can prove the packaging sent... -
Fedora Lounge Edition {Everything Australian } Akubra Camp Draft 2 5/8s brim
I assume this package will be handled by USPS once it gets over here, but just as an FYI I've been able to get UPS and Fed Ex packages held at the local office for pickup when I didn't want something left at my door even when it was addressed to my house. Just walk in with tracking number and... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Sorry to hear of your problems. IMHO such a topic fits right into this thread. Like any sort of financial transaction there will always be some fraud coming from buyers and sellers and it definitely sucks! Not exactly clear to me exactly what is being done based on the description. Perhaps...
