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

[Brando11]

It wasn't that bad at 16 sec left the high bidder padded his bid then I bid then I came in at 12 sec left and was high bidder until you bid with 4 sec left. By the way how high was your bid?

Not to rub salt in the wound, but only about a couple of bucks more than yours, Jeff!

Not to rub salt in the wound, but only about a buck and a half more than yours, Jeff!

You may live to regret the fact that you answered that question...:eeek:

Enjoy the hat Brando. I was reluctant to go to high since it has the moth bite in the front brim. Then again will I ever be able to pay the price of a mint one? Wear it well.

Ha! Thanks, partner- will do.

If you want mint ... buy mint ...

How would that hat stay on his head? I know that it was the early 20th century style to wear them high, but that's just got to be balanced.

Glad to see you're still checking in.

Perhaps he keeps his tackle beneath it?

Thanks, Lefty.

Someone got one hallibut deal!

Pantropic Optimo Fine Straw Hat XL A $250-$300 Monti for pennies on the dollah'. Hope it was one of y'all!

Good to see you still stop in every once in a while.

Just won a gorgeous Silverbelly Stetson 25 on eBay. When the seller looked under the sweatband, he found the folded-up newspaper his dad had padded it with, dated March 1963. Can't wait!

I have an old newspaper with the headline: NIXON RESIGNS! You've just given me an idea . . . (just kidding, of course)

Beautiful score!

MINE! It looks to need a little help, and I'm hoping that the loose stitches are just that - not a sweatband mostly just resting in the hat. The seller didn't get back to me.

As far as I know, there are only a couple of these on the Lounge. Like Dinerman's and ScottF's, as shown in Playboys on Parade, this one has the ventilated crown, no liner, and a really thin sweat.

Thanks to Vic for the boost I needed to get off the fence on this one.

Take comfort in the fact that I had you beat by a really good margin on that one.

Me too, but I'll take it a little big. This sort of thing doesn't come around enough for me to worry about the perfect fit.
Thanks.

the seller is close by so I am going to see if we can do an in-person exchange. don't want it crushed in the mail. Skimmers don't bounce back well . I am going to a Ocean side wedding this summer it will look great with a seersucker suit.

Glad you got it. Felt looks terrific in any case-great unusual color. If the sweatband is too far gone you will feel more comfortable making it your size.

 

[Lefty]

I really don't want to replace the sweat, and will do everything I can to avoid that. Hopefully, I won't have to jump off that bridge.

 

[alanfgag]

Great that it's yours. I must have gone back to check the size on that one a half dozen times. Looking forward to good pictures.

Good for you. That is a serious classic. I look forward to more photos once you receive it. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
