rilico puts up some very nice vintage lids, you got a good one. I really like that green Manhattan with the Crimson ribbon he has up currently. :eusa_clapdhermann1 said:I grabbed 2 nice hats today, and I think I got a couple of gooood deals.
First: A Knox Whippet clone, if I'm not mistaken:

I got it for $52, plus shipping/
Next, a hat that was described as a Vintage Royal Deluxe Stetson. However if you look carefully at the sweat band, you'll see the words Open Road, clear as life and twice as natural. I got it for $27 plus shipping.

astaire said:I wondered why a handsome cavanagh in a size 7-1/4 did not sell so high:

i thought the seller put a decent listing with a good amount of pictures of the hat. It was listed correctly as a Cavanagh (not Cavanaugh) Fedora (not Fandora).
Did i miss something wrong with the hat?
carter said:It looks like a nice hat. My feling is that there have been a lot of nicer hats available recently, it's a smaller size (7 1/2 and up still ain't exactly cheap for a nice one like that), and the economy is making many folks hang on to their cash.
astaire said:You're most correct about the size issue Carter. I am glad that bigger sized hats have become available for you guys.
I also agree about the effects of the current state of the economy too.
But then again, this is a Cavanagh. Would be pretty difficult to find a hat in terms of quality that can beat a Cavanagh, no?
Something about the crown makes this hat very handsome:

Thank you Brad.Brad Bowers said:Wow, astaire, that was certainly a steal on that Cavanagh. And with a box, to boot. Cavanaghs with wider brims are rare birds, too. It should have gone for much more.
