A fantastic hat and I'm sure worth every penny

I couldn't believe it. What a finish.

This size 7 Whippet went for a pretty high price yesterday.

If I was looking for that type of hat for that kind of money, I would go custom.

A mouthful of moths this month.

It was a very special moth. Moth royalty.

I tend to agree - unless there was something special about the hat.

There are just two Whippets I seen I would have really like to have bought, a green one that Buler sold earlier this year and the green one Josh sold more recently.

There was lots of love for this nice blue VS as well.

What I don't understand, if a Vintage Silhouettes is made to your exact head, why you would sell it (I kind of understand) and why you would buy it (I don't understand).

I was pondering the very same questions recently. Answers to the first are plentiful. The second consideration is more interesting to me. After some head-scratching, I concluded that the custom hat made for someone else's bean would fit no worse or better than any second-hand hat you could find. Equal odds.

A fantastic hat, yes, but that's an absurd price. Unless of course it's exactly what the buyer wanted, then who's to say? I hope to hell a similarly fanatical buyer lays eyes upon my various offerings at some point.

I don't think I can remember any vintage hat going that high, absent some specific historical or celebrity connection.

I know I saw some Whippets go in the high 600's during the height of the craze.

This showed up last night on ebay and I added it to my watch list. http://www.ebay.com/itm/200677847483?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649#ht_500wt_1287 Then this morning when I checked my list they had added a buy it now price. Obviousely never checked to see what they sell for. It's like a blackfriday doorbuster deal. Well it's mine now

Brad

Do you mean that a Lounger sold it, or that a Lounger bought it?
