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

    Yeah, I went to his website. Willing to bet that the reserve on the hat is somewhere around $5k so he doesn't have to sell it. He makes comments that he had to fight with eBay to keep using this tactic of tearing down the competition. While I am sure it draws the curious, my own reaction was...

    Vintage hat?

    Depends on what you call Vintage. Most people would call a 50 year old hat from the 60's vintage, but I believe most of the collectors in here consider true vintage from 1959 and back

    Anyone ELSE use Terapeak...?

    No need to use Terapeak, all we have to do is ask you a question! Thanks for sharing all this information. I have also noted the Sunday night sale ending phenom and the Monday new hat listings. The guys who watch too much TV are always getting sniped!

    Howdy from Georgia

    I'm just down the road in Valdosta. We have the Last Hahira Pickin' coming up this weekend, are you playing? If you are wanting a year round felt hat to wear in South Georgia you should look for the lighter colors, lighter felts, and have the liner taken out. Art has a light felt and the...

    Let the record show that the hat customer went from an all Stetson selection to including two hats from a hat store located a day in the future with a shipping cost of $30. Style matters. And the timeless hat styles sell. If I were Akubra, I'd be putting pressure on my distributor to sell...

    Want to Trade my Knox Challenger for your hat?

    I have a wide face. That makes smaller brims problematic for me. Not having a fedora hat store within 600 miles, I found this out by my self-education on ebay. I just bought hats of different dimensions, now its time to move them on. This 50-60's Knox Challenger has a lovely grey felt with...

    Hat comparison Help

    They've been making the Stylemaster for a long time. I saw one for sale on OFAS that was from the 50's. The bash is a shallow teardrop and it does not have a tight pinch as that is more pleasing on more faces. There is a thread on rebashing the Stylemaster, but it wasn't really necessary IMHO...

    The List as of 11-01-09 Here is the latest update for the US Physical Hat Store list. The criterion is that you must have felt hats over the $100 price point, a physical address, and maintain store hours or accept appointment. This did exclude one very famous Hollywood store. The list is...

    of course, if you buy a Stylemaster first it will negate the strategy that I gave you to procure two hats! :eek:

    They will want you to be happy, but they will also work with you on the phone to get something that should work. They do this all the time. What you do is actually measure your head with a measuring tape. Run it one inch above your eyebrows and just above your ears. Note measurements in...

    Hat comparison Help

    I maintain a list of Hat stores here and I don't have Heimie's. Could I have an address, phone, and website for the place? Also, the Margate is too limited for your needs so you should buy it first. Wear it with everything ... including suits with which it clashes and looks horrible. Your...

    My "Diplomat" overcoat. I hope it fits right.

    I've been wondering the same thing. My search for site:www.thefedoralounge.com Optimo "how long" never did yield a good answer. Its a lot easier to be patient if you know how long you can expect to be patient! Thanks for any help
