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

[Jeremiah]

whats wrong with it ?

I guess I am not used to the way a snap brim looks so there is like a hump on top of brim rather than it being flat and slanted. So I was just checking to see if this was normal. Probably doing a rotted job explaining my meaning.
The felt on this is not stiff yet it holds its shape like a champ. I could crush it like a DP but I won't.

If you insist on insulting me then here

Oh, man, I saw that one, too... I didn't bid because I thought I had enough brown hats... LOL, I'm so glad you got it!

I kno what u mean. I dont like the "hump" either. Its the "cup" or depth of the flange. Some of my hats do it. A little is ok but too much bothers me.

I have the same issues. I have read here it is called a "hawks bill".

Lol. Really? In my case I'll call it "parrots beak."

Unless it is on a stingy brim and then it is a Parakeets Beak.

I picked this up on ebay, a Penney's Marathon in decent, wearable condition. Not so good with the pics. Mrs FedOregon took these with her phone. It was really dusty when I got it and the previous owner either over-bashed it big time or it got smashed under something. Anyway, I brushed it off and changed the bash to a moderate center dent and added a front pinch with side dents. I've worn it to work and around the house. Nice hat for cheap, imo.

Great color Fed.

A nice hat for cheap is a double win.

Great color Fed.

Thanks, I like the super dark brown felt. The ribbon/bow/binding are kind of a gun steel/grey color but - depending on the light - the brim binding changes to almost brown/charcoal and matches the felt more.

Shipping at $79. I'll offer $20 for the hat.

My Cav stingy is that rich dark brown color. I really like this hat. Wind trolley needed in Oregon tomorrow!

I wish I could have it but since it's a live auction, I can't.

Ahh...the old steam iron works wonders on that....

 

[Bob Roberts]

Thanks Cindy. I'd ruin it.
