Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

[ScottF]

You are going to love the roll-up Scott. They typically are very comfortable to wear and a joy to travel with.

Thanks Douglas. I'm looking forward to it - it was a pleasant surprise that it popped right out to look like a normal fedora.

I want to sincerely thank all my Fedora Lounge pals for easing my mind after dropping all that loot on the vintage fuzzy Borsalino. I knew I could count on you!

lucky dog!!
When is it available for home viewing?

It might well be a 7 3/8 but the sweatband being wavy like that probably contributed to the poor measuring by the seller. Flat sweatbands are easier to measure.
What if it is a true 7 3/4 with something behind the sweatband to make it smaller?
I'll keep my fingers crossed for a 7 3/8 if that is your size.

Survey SAYS!!!
7 1/2

Well, peoples absolute stupidity amazes me sometimes......

I have a few and they really do pop right out. They are truly handy.

Have you asked them to cover the return postage? Seeing that they were SO wrong in the description maybe they will. Just see if you can work together to resolve the issue in a friendly manner. Stupid or not, perhaps it was an honest mistake. If they insist that you have to cover the return shipping, obviously it would be easier to just keep the hat and resell it later.

If it comes to that, don't forget to leave appropriate feedback!

It's been a while since I've bought anything, so I decided to try something really different.

I think you've lost your mind, but now I don't feel so bad about buying this on ebay: I will be just like Mozart

Now I need to find a hat to wear with it.

 

[Lefty]

Man, for that price, I hope they threw in some strings.

It's really nice.

I just feel like experimenting with hats a little - not sure if I can pull it off. Everyone here is beginning to look the same to me. I'd be all over that felt baseball hat/fedora/thing if it had a reasonable price tag.

Scott, do you know how to play it, or you bought it just for fun?

Old Austrian Fedoras

Rare 1930s or older size 55cm Austrian velour that went for 3,5 EURO.

Rare 1930s or older size 54cm Austrian (Otto Matt Hutmacher Bregenz) Fedora that went for 4,06 EURO.

Just don't see these come up very often no matter the size!

I have something similar but never posted pics (when I get a chance I will take some pics). I like it! :eusa_clap

It blew past my snipe so fast I heard a sonic boom. Nice hat.
