I know where Festus Haggen's ended up but I have often wondered what happened to Doc Adam's hat.

jonbuilder said:I believe coping an ebay auction is against ebay policy. Some sellers use soft ware to protect against coping. Mark Moyer an ebay seller of Aero jackets has his trade mark on all his photos to deter unauthorized use. Yes I think it would brother me to find some using my text rather than go through the effort to write their own listing.

ScottF said:I sold this hat on ebay on October 21, and I had only owned it for a week or two - had planned to send it to Optimo to be rebuilt into a fedora in my size: I put it back on ebay almost immediately
...and the buyer immediately put it up for sale again, with a BIN at what he paid, with my pictures, even with my exact wording in the description. He did add the extra sentence about "Chinatown" to the description. Honestly, I didn't care at all. It sold on October 25:
next buyer re-sells on ebay immediately
A few days later, and here it is again. I don't get it.
...4th ebay auction this month
Mario said:I won this vintage Brooks De Luxe last night for small bucks.
The seller didn't have any info on its age, but I'm guessing it to be from the 1950's. Seems to be in near-mint condition without stains or moth nibbles.
Never really heard about this brand. Brooks... I've only read about Brooks Brothers, but I think this is a different company. Any ideas?
I'd say earlier than the 50s, given the unreeded sweatband and overall style.Mario said:I won this vintage Brooks De Luxe last night for small bucks.

Went for $16.51...and I didn't bid! :eusa_doh:
Garrett said:The size says 7 but its over 22" and this puts it more along the lines of a tight fitting 7 1/8. The buyer and buyer's buyer probably need a small fitting or accurate 7 [huh]
Lefty said:I think this one had a very short run. Here's an earlier post in this thread. It seems that a number of hat companies decided to start pushing pre-shaped hats in the early 50s.
Here are a couple of '53 ads.
They look like entirely different models to me.Ephraim Tutt said:I have a hunch that this may reveal the true identity of my 1958 Stetson Trilby. It may be a Stetson Custom with a fancy embroidered pug...
