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

Found this photo of Matt's 1930's Dobbs. That liner on the Capone hat doesn't match up with this hat anyway. I agree the supposed Capone hat's liner and bow look '60ish.

Early Hawes Von Gal stiff hat c.1913 hiding in a more recent Dobbs box, From Joe Fried in Canal Dover, Ohio, when Dover went by that name (pre-1915). I wish Josh's great photos from the Hawes Von Gal thread were still active links. <sigh>

I think this will make the fourth Hawes Von Gal posted here...

Holy Grail!

This doesn't seem like a bad idea for my summer wardrobe. What else could I pair with this?

Not a look I can imagine pulling off. Next!

A two-for-one deal on NIB Bailey western hats. I know Bailey is a mass-market discount brand, but for the price I was willing to take the risk. The golden tan is 8X and the Brown is a 5X. If nothing else I can convert them to fedoras, but I’m hoping to add them to my growing western selection.

I'm glad to see that the western hats are growing on you.

My wife hasn’t warmed to them. I keep thinking I just need to find the right western to convince her.

Yep, keep trying.

You wear them very well. A pair of jeans, a plaid shirt, some western boots and you're ready to go. I wear what I'm feeling. Sometimes western, mostly fedoras and suit jackets or leather coats and a couple Homburgs. Even in highschool I'd wear a tshirt and jeans one day and a suit and tie the next.

I too like to mix it up. Work often dictates my attire. The only styles that I haven’t gone for are the really wide brims (over 4.5 inches) and bowlers/derbys. Maybe next year?

If I could get hats to grow on me, I wouldn't have to scour eBay, Etsy, and vintage shops for them.

Maybe you’re not using the right fertilizer?

Lighting strikes twice! Just grabbed this Brent Black Montecristi for $99. That’s two Brent Black Montecristi fedoras in two months.

Are you kidding me!! I’ve never come across such a deal. I’d run out and buy a lottery ticket if I were you. What an incredible find.

Didn't think it would go for this much, honestly.

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/112882426232

I just didn't have enough in my reserve to go deep on this one. It likely would have been my nicest, despite the need for a new sweatband.

Oh well, back to fishing for more hats.

I was watching that one too. It went a little high for my war chest also. I was thinking, Jim will want this one, I shouldn't run it up on him. So this ending price was not my fault
