I agree,why have it if you won't wear it?
Made to be worn!
Life's to short.

I don't have any hats that I don't wear (though I have too many to wear any very often)... excepting one or two that are too large or too small. The top hats all fit and are waiting for the proper occasion. Late 1950s Cavanaghs like the one above are quite common, though perhaps not in this large a size. I have bought several and have sold all of them, except one.
Yep....
This is a collectors hat...
Not a hat wearers hat...
A hat to have. Not a hat to wear.
I'm glad I'm not a collector. So many other things I could do with $400.00 dollars.
Totally disagree. Like a gun that is never shot, car that is never driven, motorcycle never ridden....to never be used for intended purpose is unnatural.
Buy it, crease it, wear it often....
actually, I was agreeing with what you said in the first comment.
I suppose I am just to old for this internet comment stuff. I don't seem to be able to write short comments that people can understand.
Oh well, I'm better at being a spectator anyway. [huh]
At that size & if you could get it for the entry bid, $405.95 is not that bad for a true collectors item = those brims aren't made anymore & likely never will....a part of hat history.
Seen less than the Gay Prince... nice find! Here is a sibling:
I nailed this one right out of the chute this afternoon. A Stetson Gay Prince.
Does anyone recall what this model was called? Was this "the Robin Hood" perhaps,
or was that another manufacturer?
