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

Sharp! Yes indeed I'm betting you have a serious homburg there.. I'd give that bad boy a nice simple center dent and call it pure class.

I am thinking Homburg too. I will update when it arrives.

Here's the other Whippet (first of the two from last week). Again, opened the crown and giving it a stretch. The color I believe is caribou? Nice, much more subdued.

 

[Spats McGee]

Good score, rumblefish! I like the brim treatment with the wider ribbon.

 

[billysmom]

Very nice, rumblefish! Love the muted tones and the proportions.

What a sweet hat! You and Bob should form your own club.

So who picked up the 6 7/8 Disney yesterday? Sue?

 

[billysmom]

Guilty. (My resistance to CHAD has hit rock bottom. ) I'll post pics on arrival.

Hi Sue! I was watching that Disney as well...

You noggin-diminuitive folk should have gone at that Disney like a swarm of spider monkeys.

If you had to deal with the 7 3/8 crowd on ebay for just a couple of days, you would appreciate the tiny price that great hat went for!

We know how lucky we are I thank the Lord for our immediate ancestors who passed down their dimensions to a favored few of us in our generation.

Wrong size?

I was the only bidder on this size 7 Borsolino. Very small price. Thought I could make it fit by stuffing the sweat for awhile. I didn't notice that it was sold in Genova and it was a Punti 7. Fortunately, my husband is a Punti 7, so y'all who are size 7 3/8 can weep. More to be posted on the Borsolino Brotherhood thread ...

Separated at birth?

This is a Mallory Aristocrat Quality I got with a buy-it-now. Waiting in line for a stretch. I'm waiting for another stretcher to arrive shortly...

Punti size 7 is actually 7 5/8. You probably got quite the deal there.
I must admit your husband wears it well. I sure would love to find that
hat in that size!

Yep, good pick-up and your husband looks very happy about it!

:arated: Thats a fact; great homburg!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

I have got to stay away from e-Bay. I thought I had exhausted my greed with my recent purchases, but last night I thought, "Just a quick peek". That led to "just a quick bid" and that led to.....this! I love ORs, and I love having a Size 7 head! It keeps the $$$ man down.

I see an RBH-style diamond crease in this one's future!
