Interior shots of the french hats

 

[Dinerman]

Those are great hats. They look fantastic.

 

[jamespowers]

A good example of reverse taper to the crown.

 

[tonyb]

Yeah, I'll second dinerman. And jamespowers. I'm really diggin' the homburg. I'm guessing that with just a little sprucing up it'll be a stunner. You got a great deal, Garrett.

Water

I'm thinkin' just a bit of cold water to smooth out the ribbon on that flechet homburg.....other than that it looks to be in good condition.

 

[Roadrunner]

What did I get?

I happened to log on and see this beauty about to end for a very low price, so I bid and won. Any information the more knowledgeable can share with me? Did I get hosed or did I find a steal?

 

[Dinerman]

You got a good deal on a great homburg.

I tracked this one and "felt" that someone paid retail. (nice Hat). Missed the one Rick mentioned :eusa_doh:

Just makes me Happy I was able to get a few Big Hats before the "Price Increase":eusa_clap

 

[tinmanzzz]

I won this 7 5/8 Stetson Twenty on OFAS a couple of days ago. Looking forward to having this one in my hands.

So, It was you who beat me.....
well, its not the first time Carter has beaten me.:rage: :rage:
Glad it went to a good home.
CURSE YOU RED BARRON

STESON HAT THE OPEN ROAD (CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY) W/BRUSH

I wouldn't say that. When you consider that when new, a 3x was selling for $15 or so, and a 7x was selling for $50 (and the quality definitely shows that), I'd say the 7x was a better deal, even though it went for much more.

 

[AlanC]

^That one came with a brush, though.

I do not see preverbal open road on the sweat. I pick this 7x clear beaver off ebay for about $60. Hat is in good condition shows wear no open road on the sweat. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250283569466&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=015

That's one of the best deals I've seen on one of those. I can't say enough good things about 7xs.

 

[Lefty]

A Stetson 100 for our tiny-tops sold for really cheap. It came with a box that I've never seen outside of the one I got with my 7x.
