Bowler I'm tired of eBay as well. It is damn impossible to find what I want. And now it sucks to sell on there as well
Yes, the pickings are getting a little thin. More and more I'm thinking I should get another custom; or just buy another Akubra Fed in a color I like and have the brim trimmed/bound, and/or a smaller ribbon put on, etc., to customize it to my taste.Bowler I'm tired of eBay as well.

Casquettes ended recently. They all seemed quite small …

Thin ribbons are great. I had in mind having a slightly narrower ribbon, say 1" or 1.25", put on a Fed. But a thin ribbon a la the Open Road would look great on one, too.I keep seeing akubras and think maybe I should take the leap but many of them have thin ribbons and I have NEVER even seen a thin ribbon on my noggin so I am a little gunshy.
I'm not interested in this, bu I am trying to see how good I am getting at trying to date hats.
The seller has this listed as a 1920s-1930s Stetson, but it looks very 1950s to me.
Ok, Education time here, hopefully. Was watching this, really interested but it just went out of my budget. Don't see many of these and I am curious, so what say the cognizanti? Did one of us snag this? Or did it look to be too far gone to bother with? What would you plan to do with one if you did get it. I know, I know, I already read the other thread but was curious as to anything specific to this one.
Anyone here bidding on this Whippet? http://www.ebay.com/itm/330821371456?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Something whacky about the sizing on that one. 7 3/4 does not equal 23 1/4 inches.Anyone here bidding on this Whippet? http://www.ebay.com/itm/330821371456?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
