I have noticed a disturbing trend of sellers all thinking that just any old fedora is worth $250, $300, and $400 all of a sudden regardless of size, make, model, or style. I guess some people have seen some of the particular ones going for that price so they think EVERY fedora is a $500 hat. To them, I suppose a hat is a hat is a hat.

I picked up this unique / old C.G. Wilke. I am looking forward to its arrival.

I had this same conversation with Tim (the Cane Customs hat maker) about how it is starting to be painfully hard for a hat lover to keep up with his hobby. I have a strict budget and the prices are becoming ridiculous. I know this hat wont sell for it but just asking that price shows a disturbing trend.

Richard, Perry, Alan, Thanks!

I also picked up this nice older Mayser on a low bid (victim of poor auction photos / placement). Will be interesting to see what kind of bow it has.
