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

[drmaxtejeda]

Someone won a Black Stetson 7 1/8 yesterday evening with a sweat stamp that said Boss Raw Edge. $255

Not me.

I was going to go for that one, but decided to go for another

Now I just need to find some felt in melanzana.

I actually bought five of these hats today. I offered the seller a package deal and he agreed.

Sorry you didn't get it Jared. Black BRE's rule!

Yeah, that one had the Fray imprint too...nice example save for the ribbon damage.

I hedged a bit on my bid because the pooch needs some vaccinations. Silly life expenses, always getting in the way of impractical hat splurges!

Just bought this Hufvud Indiana Jones look-alike for $140.
It looks a little reddish in the pics, but the bottom of the brim looks brown.
The seller says it's 30X beaver...
The sweatband reads beaver too.
I didn't want to buy a cheap rabbit Indy, so I waited for a beaver fur felt. At least, it's part beaver. [emoji2]
Ignacio should downsize it to my head nicely.

I’m really curious to hear what Ignacio thinks about this hat. The deer sweats are soft and comfortable, but I’m looking forward to hearing what an expert thinks of the build quality and the felt.

The other Hufvud I bought was pure rabbit felt, and he didn't like it. He also disliked that the "ballena" or reed was metallic.
This one is 30 percent beaver. Hope we like it.

I go back and forth on my opinion of my Hufvud. It’s not spectacular in any case, but it’s not bad either.

The shape does look like Dr. Jones' hat. Now for the rare antiquities!

I tried to help the seller out, but he/she wasn’t interested. Not an Open Road. Not a Stetson 100. Not camouflage. And not Bluetooth compatible.

And not worth what he/she is asking.


At least I got a laugh.

^^^^^ Bluetooth or not, I might have to have it.

Maybe it has the adaptive cruise control.

Nice try, Brent, maybe next time.

The pics on this one left too much to the imagination as to the condition of the hat and felt. It could be a very nice hat, but I had a few too many doubts looking over the few pics on this one.

I went home at $220, in the last 2 minutes. I was well past the point that winning wouldn't have been much fun when I told my wife.

The seller didn't seem to know what they had. I thought I did, but am new enough at this to not fully trust my judgement.
I knew a Boss was valuable, but not how valuable, so didnt even know when the smart time to exit was hat-wise, though wife-wise I knew enough.

Another black (religious?) Borsalino destined for conversion.

I’m envisioning a Boss Raw Edge...with periwinkle ribbon.

I was talking to my brother in law's brother, making the claim that Western, or Cowboy, hats really saved the hat industry. He was astute enough to bring up his observations of conservative, perhaps Hasidic, Jews and their hats. I had to conceed his point. That community remained consumers of quality headwear over the decades as well.

Better get your max bid in.
