Bowler

I won this (supposedly about 59cm) mystery Bowler for about $50.00 including shipping. Displayed backwards but I have good feeling about it.

 

[mayserwegener]

Tops and bowlers are unfimilar territory for me. Do you think it was a swell deal. ??I have sceen very few 5/8 bowlers and top hats around and I was thinking this pair is quite quite rare. Any imput from the veterians?

I am confused by the reported inside measurements (they appear small to me). Are you thinking these are 7 5/8?

 

[jeffconnors]

Im am hoping...and they better be ...he mentioned 5/8, so hopefully he read 5/8 off a tag. the bowler is at least...

Jeff, I was kind of surprised that you didn't bid on that Francato Cappello. I thought you had a thing for them, as I recall.

Just won this 7 5/8 LO Francato Cappello royal beaver with Freed & Co. box. On the stingy side, but looks to be within my stinginess tolerance level, which is 2 inches or more.

That's a really nice-looking hat. It has a fine color, and I really like the shape of the crown. If it were not for the stingy brim, that's the kind of thing I would have targeted myself. These Italian makers have a lot of style.

That seller was Hom-burglarized!

 

[Lefty]

That's a new thread idea. Derbinators and Homburglars. We'll need some Lone Ranger masks.

Stetson Shore Club Zephyr Weight

I think that this is only the second Turf Club that I've seen, and we've yet to see the Shore Club.

Ok, its not from ebay, but I couldn't resist posting it as a reply to Lefty's comment. Now we've seen a Shore Club.

Lefty - you just listed a 'Boro' ?!? Did you really mean 'burro'?

 

[Lefty]

21 watchers, 1 bidder - all of whom are probably Loungers, and you're the first one to point that out. Thanks, sonsabitches.

If you can't measure, I can't spell check.

 

[Lefty]

I can measure - just not in a circle.
I
get
confused.

 

[carouselvic]

OK you get a pass!!
