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

[jimmy the lid]

You know, I haven't had a lot of money to buy hats lately, so I wanted to wait until something really...unique came along. And it did! I've always admired the Art custom Faulkner that Alan had made. So, here you go -

It's a Dobb's in 7 5/8 and got it on a Best Offer.

Very cool! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I don't remember ever seeing a vintage example of a felt with an Optimo crease.

Cheers,
JtL

I have just come across the best hat description ever.

IT HAS THE SEXY 2 3/4" WIDE BRIM THAT CAN BE POSED TO YOUR SATISFACTION-GREAT FOR LADIES TOO !!

I think this Stetson 3X may have some potential...

Lefty, Rusty, Jimmy - Thanks! I've never seen one like it. It should be interesting. Here's another shot -

I'll post more when it comes in.

I'll be looking forward to seeing a noggin shot of this one Mr. Lucky. I like that the top of the crown isn't a smooth radius but has that nice angular detail that is a extra nice touch.:eusa_clap

I'd say it does. Very nice, Chief!

Thanks, guys!

Since the Seller described the hat as "suede", I'm hoping that it may be an example of Stetson's suede finish. We'll see...

Looks like my green suede finish with the same felt hat band(and feather).

Very nice, JtL. You got that one cheap.

Here's a pretty Stetson in 7 1/4.

Thanks Jimmy but its not a Hot Rat Rod like yours

 

[jimmy the lid]

Sure does. My trigger finger was itchy even though it's two sizes too big! I wanted to see what 3X suede felt was like . . .

That's a fab hat, JTL, definitely get some photos out when you get it!
