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

    Hmmm...good point. Especially since the gents wearing 7 1/8 hats in the FL tend to be nefarious types. :cool2: :beer: :whistling shhhhhhhh ;) :)

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

    Sorry to read that it didn't fit well, Manny. I have one suggestion though you may have already considered it. I have the same problem with a 46 XL Aquascutum grey herringbone wool single-breasted topcoat that I recently acquired. The same size in a Burberry fits just fine but this one is a...

    Sweater clips/sweater guards

    Do they guard sweaters in Arkansas? :cool2: Those must be some swell sweaters! Why would one need guards for sweaters?[huh] Wouldn't a collection of guards be awfully expensive to feed and board? [huh] Inquiring minds want to know. [huh] ;) :)

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

    Sometimes bad's a good thing. I saw that bonnet whilst lurking about the Powder Room one day. :eek: :o [huh] These two hats look like they could be courting in an old Tom Mix film. ;) :)

    What are you wearing today??

    We need a Jack-O-Lantern emoticon I have the same question. Is this an All Hallows Eve tradition known only to Oregonians? ;) :)

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

    BIN was $74.76 + $9.76 shipping. You'll never see it on my head. It's a size 7 1/8 and I wear a 7 5/8. It was just too nice to pass up! :)

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Doug, In shoe making the welt is the narrow strip of leather that runs around the shoe between the insole (and upper) and the outsole. I believe what you are describing is a welt as seen traditionally on Red Wing work boots. There is no light color leather welt on these Red Wings. They are...

    Akubra Value is Soaring Right Now

    I have US-made Open Roads in 3X, 4X, the Twenty-Five, and Clear Beaver Quality. Those are just the ones I can lay my hands on readily. Stetson probably made the Open Road in more felt compositions than these. Exactly. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Thanks, Art!

    Good advice from everyone. Also....You should NOT take this lying down! (...Perhaps Standing Up since we're talking headgear.) At the very least, you should contact the original hatmaker and inform him that Art fixed his problem. Then tell him what this cost you and request a refund for...

    New hat: color?

    I'm with Warbird on this one. Medium grey, then a mid-brown (chocolate may be OK too), then a midnight or dark navy blue, and, finally, a rust, carmel, or tan just to round things out. By then, you should be hooked. The rest is up to you. ;) :)
