[Karlos]

Me too!
My mistake, I guess, unless I lately became big-headed
But still, a great mix of casual and timeless elegance, isn't it?

Nice hat. Is there a stated size on it?

Thank you for your message, I appreciate.

You're right.
As a newcomer, I was not aware of the policy about including a price and I apologize about it.
Since I only know the price I paid for it and doesn't have a clue on the hat's value on the second-hand market, any help is welcome.

 

[Karlos]

Thank you for your message.

Well, there's no tag with the size on it, if this is what you mean...
All I could show, as a proof, are my email exchange with Master Bob mentioning the 23" circumference.

So just to be clear - you had Blacksheep make a custom hat for you that was never going to fit you?

 

[Bob Roberts]

Hmmmmm...?

Yeah I know, it sucks ass, doesn't it?
Especially If you have waited for over a year to get that hat... But yes, that's the story.

 

[Karlos]

Hmmmmm...?

Sir?

 

[Bob Roberts]

Sir?

Connect the dots...
A response to the question asked by "makitright." ie: a similar question.

 

[Karlos]

Oh... Sure!

Well, yes I ordered that hat, I got it, it looks fabulous but it appears to be too small for me...
What can I say? When I put it on, it feels OK but when I take it off, it leaves an ugly red mark on my forehead.

Once again, I assume full responsibility for it.
Master Bob sent me the proper material to measure the circumference and I obviously messed up...
It's as simple as that.

What size do you wear? 23" is usually in the 7 1/4 to 3/8 range. This makes this hat very desirable to many of us on the lounge. It might even fit me. Wish there was a price listed.

From your point of view, what would be a fair price?

I only have experience with one custom maker, Mike Miller from NW Hats. I have paid $250 for his customs. I have not priced a BSHW until this evening, seeing they are considerably more $$. This is still basically a new hat, and unlike driving a Chevy off the lot and taking a hit, I'm not certain this would be the case with this hat. I know I've seen VS used hats on Ebay for about half price, but these went up in bidding out of my pocket book. My thoughts are in the $250 to $275 range, but I'm far from an authority on pricing. I'm just guessing. Only you can determine what you are willing to let this one go for. It is a nice looking hat, and for the right head size, a real find. An accurate measurement of the inner circumference in CM would push it over the top, I'm sure. 58cm = 7 1/4 59 is the 7 3/8. Lots of guys would be interested if a dead on size could be determined and a price set. All this for 2 cents! There is a deal!

No offense Karlos, but the policy here is for you to establish a price point you are comfortable with, not for us to guess your price. You know what you paid for it; you must have some idea of where you want to wind up. Establish a baseline and go from there. There are other things for the buyer to consider, as well, such aa shipping costs from your location.

As to size, certainly you could contact Bob and ask. Otherwise, you could provide the front-to-back and side-to-side measurements of the oval, and a fairly accurate size can be determined. Else, 23" is 7 3/8.

Also, other specs, such as crown height and brim width are good to list.

Good luck with your sale.

Well to Karlos' point a buyer would cut off a ONE year wait if they've wanted a Blacksheep.

A VERY fair price for what is a $400 plus hat direct from the maker.
