I thought I'd relate to you the details about my latest hat purchase.
Late one night, or more accurately, early one morning I was using a certain auction site while in a state of fatigue. I had many hats on my watch list and decided to bid on one. I carelessly clicked through accepting pages and the deed was done.
To my horror, I had bid on the wrong item, old wool felt beater with no proper sizing information, I’d never of bid on it knowingly, I was just watching many to see what they’d go for.
I’d never try to back out of the deal, as it was my own fault for bidding, in the end I paid $10US for the hat and I think it was $16US shipping. It arrived today.
It is roughly a size 7 1/4 in what would seem to be a loden colour with a 1.5 inch brim. It has no liner but a sticker in the top labels it “KEEN’s British” and on sweatband it has a second logo, a “SHOWERPROOF” stamp and a logo that reads “Dall’s LTD. SCHENECTADY”. Furthermore it is slightly worn around the sweatband and could use a good clean.
The 7 1/4 doesn't come close to my 7 1/2 head either.

fftopic: Hey, I just realised that our U.S. and overseas friends are going to be scratching their heads trying to make sense of my reply title. Well, seeing as we Aussies are often left scratching our heads at some of the American references posted here, it's only fair, right?
