Got this at a much cheaper price than the last one I purchased.

Looks wool from the pic... but worth a gamble for $6.50

That certainly is a beautiful hat but a bit too big, a lot too fancy and WAY too rich for this kid

It's good to have a hat or two that you don't pamper or worry about. Nice score.

Had to grab this before any of you saw it....

Since I have three Borsalinos, and bidding on one more...

I would also like to point out that if you, like me, prefer your charitable giving to be completely anonymous, adding onto an eBay purchase is definitely the way to go. In addition to my payment, Special Olympics got $25.

Nice caps are moving up in the world.

What Alan said. Outstanding vintage 1920s eight-point flat cap goes for a well-deserved price :eusa_clap. Did a Fedora Lounger win it?

Did anyone try for this? The greatest (and IMO rarest) vintage eight-panel cap I've ever seen on eBay. And yes, it really is from around 1910: www.ebay.com/itm/SNAZZY-Antique-191...Striped-Silk-England-Leather-VG-/320794458267

Oh yes... Lefty posted this auction link the day it ended. I agree - fantastic example. I was sitting at my Dad's house over Thanksgiving placing a leap of faith bid to win this beauty. His rural house has no internet and spotty 3G. I bid too late and watched the spinning wheel for 30 seconds. It didn't make it in time.

I really liked that Swan cap as well, but didn't want to risk it not fitting. I might have gone just a bit higher than the winning bid, but who knows if that would have done it.

I know what you mean ... but in my experience, those adjustable vintage caps (which go up to 7 3/8 max) really do live up to their name. I wear a 7 1/4 ... and when I set the adjustable strap to the "7 1/4" mark, it really does make the cap that size.

 

[Lefty]

The problem is, I'm more a 7 1/2-7 5/8.

That's difficult for sure. Caps in that size show up, but rarely.

You need a flange stand to begin with. Home made or the real ones.

Alan I tried and you and RLK tried.
These caps are getting to be as pricey as good fedoras
