Stetson Select, 7 3/4 (24")

What a rare hat.

I'm betting it was originally a raw edge hat and the edge binding
was added decades later. When you get it, let us know what you think?

This one should turn out to be quite a nice fetch! Looking forward to see more pictures! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Agree! Super win! :eusa_clap The felt finish appears to be more like the 30s Hückel Seal Velours. This one is out of Weilheim and for export to the US. Also looking forward to more pictures! :eusa_clap

Added some pictures.

But post 7911 doesn't have a link to the original eBay auction.

That is a very interesting thought. The ribbon is greener than the felt, but the brim-binding is browner. Other than that, there's nothing to help decide.

Marc, etc. - sorry about the listing link - I omitted it because it didn't provide any info other than the original bash, and the fact that I BIN'd it quickly. I bought it to satisfy my historical curiosity, really expecting a 6 3/4.

Here it is: Vintage John B. Stetson brown fedora size 7 3/4

Another one Lost!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180450145397&ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT

Lost due to a slow connection! I can't even win a STINGY brim:eusa_doh:

Knox Premier

Darn it! I just won this beautiful greenish-gray Knox with a whopping 3" brim (my largest by now and, for for some reason also my first Knox) and a lovely ribbon to go with it. Seems to have a few moth nibbles which failed to scare me away.

What's really buggin' me is the fact that I DID bid on the hat in the first place. And more so that I actually WON!

Just a few days ago, I promised to myself (New Year's Eve, you know... ) to call a halt to my shopping spree, at least for a few weeks. After all, it's the month after Christmas, and I'm going to suffer for making this purchase (even though it turned out to be a real steal...).

Is there no help?

That's a beautiful hat -- and an outstanding ribbon! Very nice! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Cheers,

[Mario]

Yes, it was that gorgeous color combo of the geenish felt and the ribbon that got me hooked!

It reminds me a lot of your Knox Premier - the ribbon is almost the same.

 

[texashatman]

Finally got one

It looks pretty beat up but I wanted it. It'll be an interesting addition to my others. This is my first e-bay hat purchase too!

Looks like a good price especially for a Sovereign Mode Edge!

Hmmm...seems that 90 days have passed real quick. The listing is gone...

Go to ebay and do a search on the ebay item# in the link. You get this:

Thank you, Scott!

The hat looks a bit battered in the photos but seems to be a pretty decent lid, especially at that price. A good brushing and steaming will get it back in shape quickly.

Congrats! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Thanks guys. I can see how this hat bug get's to a person. I wore modern westerns for so long I didn't know anything about felt quality. When I inherited a couple vintage Open Roads a couple years ago I got more interested in it. Now that I've been wearing fedoras for about a year I've found that I need different colors and styles and ribbons! What I'm really after is an Adam with the "missing front part of the bow. That's too cool.

This one I won today is just a practice hat really. For that price if I can clean it up and shape it half way decently I'll be happy.

Raw Edge Cavanagh

Not mine

[Garrett]

Now why would someone cut off that Cav edge?

They might not have. Claimed to be a 2-1/2" brim and it has the surprisingly low $15.00 original price tag.

That's a beauty Mario.

At that price I reckon you'd be saying 'Darn it!' if you hadn't snapped it up.
