Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

[Mystic]

Ahhh! Now I get the inside joke. OK, so we have one guy with a head the size of a ten-year-old's! LOL There's always gotta be one, right??

Seems there always has to be one "meat head" also...

Do you get the Archie Bunker joke about "meat head"?

Another small hat size wearer here.

Mr.Sommerset; I ask you kindly to take the focus of your conversation off the smaller sized hat sized folks, like me, and positively interact with the market sellers. Attempting to make others feel bad so that you may feel better about not finding your prized hat in your size is not admirable and un-called for.

Good day, small hat sized Eric -

Always a class act...

OK who pulled the trigger before I could? It was there. I saw it. I hit BIN. It wasn't there anymore.

Oooooo. Great weave on her, Alan.

Thanks Harv!

My rule is no duplicates when it comes to boaters. Thought it would keep the numbers down. No such luck...

I bought a second hat yesterday too, from a NYC store that I shopped as a kid with my dad. Back on a diet this morning.

Vegan? Do you mean "only straw from now on"?

A beautiful boater and a nice piece to remind you of your dad ... sounds like yesterday was a good day.

Thanks... it was a fun shopping day. Last quarter I missed the deadline to spend my hard earned eBay Bucks. Wasn't going to miss out again!

This is an interesting color combo. But can anyone tell if maybe this ribbon is a replacement?

I've been eyeing one of these for months, but have yet to buy one. Has anybody here invested in one of these doohickys and can you attest to the quality and accuracy of them?

The Made in China part makes me wonder about quality. I've seen hatters use them, but I doubt they are these modern ones.

You just missed this bargain-priced one on Ebay, Frunie.

And the Chinese are into making everything... They even have a made-in-China version of this
But I won't buy from a shoe store that doesn't use the USA version. Just me.

I was watching that one, Charlie - I should have played. I'd like one with cm, though.

I can't get my head in there!!

They work ok, but even the vintage American made ones are not super accurate.

Honestly the best way to measure the circumference of a sweatband is to take the measurements with a tailors tape. Measure the "major" axis and "minor" axis and punch those two numbers into this calculator. It will give you the perimeter/circumference of the sweatband.
