That's a cool hat, Joao. Did you get it?

No. Sleep took over me and it ended.

I was the second highest bidder. If it wasn’t me I’m glad it went to a forum member.

Luck (or fate) keeps bringing me nice covers at dirt cheap prices...

I don’t know much about Resistol hats - not even the age of this “Wide Country” (my guess is 1950s, but for all I know it could be 2017) - but for 20 USD I’ll bite.

My first Resistol.

Good get Nathan, I had that one in my watch list even though it's two sizes too small. I couldn't believe it went for that price. It should be a really nice hat and looks to be in great condition.

Can everyone make a pact to NOT bid on this one? 21 watchers, my lord...

He always posts low and the prices always go high. I've never seen a hat he posted that I didn't want.

Stetsonian package deal: Mink and Caribou and they are new in the box. Thought I’d better get them as the supply is drying up.

I know Stetson discontinued them due to low sales volume so I can’t really blame them, but it’s a huge disappointment to see these go away.

Sure thing. I’d guess that this seller is getting them from an outlet.

VICTORY STORY!
I realize that *generally speaking* used modern hats are like used cars, the value goes down as soon as it leaves the showroom. Well... I bought this hat on an impulse. It's a Borsalino!

I did a Buy it Now for $50 (plus $9 shipping). I had offered $10 less than the Buy it Now and was soundly and quickly rejected. The description was weak and the pics were dark and hard to see. It turns out I did OK after all. The full retail on this model new at Benchcrafthats.com is $375. Thanks to Daniele (fellow lounger) for helping identify the model, Icaro

Definitely. You can see the cutouts in the sweats. Eliminate the middleman; just call the outlet.

Do you have the number for the other (not Garland) outlet?

That looks like a great score! Well done.

Since this is neither a Stetson nor a Resistol it doesn’t count as exceeding my 3X limit. I’m sounding more like an addict all the time.

I have the pair as well. Couldn't abide the black ribbon so I sent them to Mike at NW to be re ribboned. They came back as almost a custom hat. Love the felt they used.
