Thank you Cindy.Yes..you have a great bargain! Lucky you!
This is one I've been wanting.
Thank you Cindy.Yes..you have a great bargain! Lucky you!
I'm happy that you got it.Mine!!
A bit over of what I wanted to pay but... will it ever one appear again?
I've seen those for pinheads, (very) large heads...
Also at least 2 loungers were aiming at this one (that I gently asked to back off )!!
Oh yes and yes... what's new, it's another Stagecoach.
Glad you got that Joao!! It super cool.Mine!!

Thank you Harv. I was commenting the same with Michael (he was the other lounger aiming at it) that this hat was getting a lot of attention.Glad you got that Joao!! It super cool.
I was surprised to see so much action on the at hat, but then again, its a nice damn hat. Congrats, my friend.
Geez...that is a nice hat for sure! Look at how high that crown is, and nice ribbon treatments!Mine!!

That looks like a great catch,congrats.
I was lucky enough to snag this one for Daniel...
No one else was bidding on it...but I wanted this one bad enough to place a "nose bleed high" bid right off the bat so it would have been very expensive for anyone to keep in the running...and then some. A clean factory refurbed hat clean as a whistle and not worn since the refurb. More pictures when it comes to our front door....
In two days now, we've received tough news that a co-worker, and a dear friend have both passed away from the cancers they were fighting. It's sad all around.
I'm hoping my Homburg shows up in time to wear to the memorial services. Not to show off, mind you, but to be as respectful as humanly possible. My other other black hat is a bit gaudy for a funeral. I don't wear suits anymore. I'll try and fit into one this weekend.

Yes it sure was. Just a week or so ago, I snagged a Dobbs 20 that looks like it was never worn, and now this one. But now, I am sure it will be some time before I find anything else this nice vintage.That looks like a great catch,congrats.
Detail shots of lining please, love this hat. Keep the look, you Rock!Here's the Cavanagh Homburg from NewJack. It has to be the nicest hat I've ever picked up off ebay. Fits great. I'm still undecided about my look in a Homburg, though... I miss the snap-down front brim of a fedora...
ETA: Oh, the jacket is from Goodwill. I must have looked through 100 sportscoats and suits to find only one that fit and was still in decent shape. Not so old but a real nice lambswool and cashmere blend. Sooooooooooooooooooooft. A little boy was sitting next to me at church and he kept reaching over and feeling the material of my suit... it's that soft.
Its a pretty sweet shade of brown.Ordered this today on Etsy. Lady said she's never sold a "vintage" hat before. (She's estimated its from the '80s, but who am I to argue the line between "pre-owned" and vintage?) Price was real nice, low enough that if I screw up adjusting it to XLO I won't be crying. If it goes too far south I can use that as an excuse with the home CFO (who already cringes at thinking about buying a hat that's been on someone else's head) to switching to a quarterly schedule bespokes.
Hmmm, thinking I might start lining up some of the hatmakers around here.
