Posted this over in the new hats thread, posting it here too:

I'm finally getting around to posting this. Royal Stetson I picked up off e-bay, came with a nice center crease, which I tried but wasn't for me. It's darker then in the pictures, in fact it was listed as black. It's not, but I saw another stetson that looked similar listed as gunmetal, so I'm going with that. Size 7 LO, came with a bow and size tag in the back, but I was trying to be very careful removing the tag, and decided to take out the stitches holding it in. I didn't notice that those held in the bow too, but it's not a big deal for me.

Other then a one moth bite in the feather, the hat is in pristine condition. No box though.

Cptjeff,
Does the originating store say "Haddonfield NJ" like I think it does?

Yes it does. Finney Wood's Men's Shop. Know it?

 

[rmrdaddy]

I actually had to Google it, and there are darn few results!
Apparently, it was a rather tony men's shop in downtown Haddonfield, which is an old and historic Southern NJ town dating to Revolutionary times.( I live about 3 towns over, maybe 3 miles) I just found a blog post from a fellow who found a Hart Shaffner Marx 100% Cashmere Overcoat in a thrift shop for a song that was from Finney Woods. Must have been some shop!

Dark Green Royal Stetson
Interesting Liner, overwelt edge with 3 rows of rootbeer colored stitching, and back bow

 

[cptjeff]

Love the green liner.

I really don't like back-bows, but I love this one. I can even think of someone who would wear it well.

Just snapped this up:

I'm thinking I'll need to change the band though. It looks like braided felt, I don't think that's going to stay unless it looks much better in person.

Someone picked up a cheap vintage Borsalino.
Very little interest shown for some reason.

I've bought from this seller before and been pleased with the item.

A truly stonking buy there Sue. And no other bidders at all??!! What's going on when a vintage Borsa can attract almost no attention?

Edited: If I'm the only one who's had issues, I'll assume it was just a lightning strike. Good luck with this guy.

You know, I'm going to have to drive up to Evanston sometime so you can gloat in person...you have a talent for finding these - it looks great.
