gtd I don't know if there is anything here that can help your case but his first listing of that hat is 120357212874. He changed dimentions.
That does help Vic. That would be accurrate front to back is 7", side to side is 5.875, which comes to right at 20.3 circumference = 6 1/2. Measured inside the sweatband & got 20", outside around the crown is 22 3/4". All consistent with 6 1/2. Thanks for the pointer...

Nice one, Carter. I doubt i could pull off wearing a boater. It seems I'd look like I was canvassing for some politician. And I rarely if ever see them on folks. Let's see it on, eh? Then maybe I'll be inspired to try one myself!

One last thing for my Playboy delimma...

Since I posted the entire exchange with the seller of the mismeasured Stetson Playboy, I wanted to show my OFAS feedback & his response. I did use Punk in last reply but I don't see any threats at all, right? Love the claim that I'm stating my head must have grown....

Wrong size as described, seller resulted to childish name calling about refund gthomasd48 ( 109) Jan-13-09 14:52

Thanks, gentlemen. I've been looking for a good boater and $46.00 for this one wasn't bad. I'm thinking a bit later in the year with seersucker. If only there were a regatta in Dallas. sigh ;) :)

Brooks Bros Boater

Is that a blue and red ribbon? I still want one with a blue and red ribbon to use with blue seersucker. The ribbons on the two I have now are all black and black/red. I should probably get someone replace the all black ribbon with something that will go with the tan seersucker. I was really enjoying wearing both getups until the leaves turned.

Last evening a 7 5/8 Resistol


Now that's exceptional, and if it had turned in my normal saved eBay search queries, it would've went for more for certain. Really nice find. If you don't like it when you get it, PM me.

I won this one a few nights ago on e-bay. One of our lounge members was selling it. I had my eye on it from the first time I seen it in the classified section. I will post some of my own pictures once I receive it.

Did anyone here win one of these?

This Borsalino sold for $63.00. The seller listed it as a PUNTI size 5 1/2 and a US size 7 1/2 (instead of 7 1/4).
