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

I'd be interested in having both of those along with mine in hand for comparison. Max's looks late 50s, early 60s, Bob's mid-to late 50s. I have an unlined OPS-era Cross Country. It really is tissue thin.

They sound great. Similar to my daughter's Knox Tom 'n Jerry. You can blow a center crease in the crown.

These lightweight hats are fascinating. Amazing how they managed to get them that thin and light and still hold some kind of shape. I have a Borsalino that literally can be blown into shape. Not all that practical though: with just a little wind the thing is all over the place.

My second Rogers Peet MacLachlan.
I don't think the seller knew what he had. 35 dollars BIN? Wow.
In truth, I wouldn't know either if Adrián aka @Miamibruno hadn't taught me about them not too long ago.
Gracias, Adrián!

Yeah. I saw that - good get. If it had more brim I might have pulled the trigger.

Thing is, I already have another one, in a different color, and the felt is amazing, because it's MacLachlan felt.
And I wonder, if this is regular MacLachlan felt, what is 50 or 100 MacLachlan felt like?

We're counting on you to find out, Max!

What a coincidence. I just found out today about the Bailey One Hundred (thank you, Bob), and I found one thanks to @TheOldFashioned. Thank you both!

My finders fee is typically 10%, but for premium items it's 15%.

Should've spoken up before the sale. [emoji2]

Since the brim appears to be rather large (although pics can be deceiving sometimes) I would imagine this will take up extra storage space. Since you'll need said space I'll gladly take another hat off of you in exchange instead. Win-win?

It appears one of the hats in my present load isn't what I had hoped for. You can have that one. Pics tomorrow.

Hot off the presses, listed for less than 30 minutes. With a little luck and some enabl...er...coax...er...guidance from a fellow Lounger to "Buy that. Buy that now!!" I'm expanding my horizons. Suffice to say, I couldn't click BIN fast enough:

Thanks! It truly was a right place at the right time moment. I'm not really into western style hats but I figure I should at least give it an honest try before dismissing completely. My limited knowledge thinks this may be a Champ clone of a Strat or Open Road. Full apologies to those in the know and know the difference between the two. I clearly have some reading to do. I can appreciate them on others, just not sure how it'll look on me. The price was too good to pass up, so that helped.

Well if it ends up not to your liking.........and it is a 7 1/2 or so........I have a nice hat friendly home where it could reside, and be petted, and brushed......and...
BUT, try very hard......I am really sure it will grow on you!

Lol...you’ll be fine. Matter of fact you’ll prob wonder why you hadn’t “seen the light” before. Then, well we all know what then! Lol
