And coming in at sub $100 as well...seems reasonable.

I was going to bid, but it went for more than I was my willing to pay with the badly stained liner. I'm not saying the buyer didn't do well, however . . .

Stetson 100 at face value.

Second place. I hope a Lounger got it. Anyone want to step up?

 

[barrowjh]

I bid early on for the Stetson 100, but was unwilling to chase it after that. It just looks dingy, and I have not had much success in cleaning the dingy look out of light colored felts. Depends on the nature of the stain, so a dingy light-colored felt is a genuine gamble.

 

[Lefty]

That 100 is a steal. Even in that small size, I can't believe that someone wouldn't shell out at least $200 for it.

[Mr E Train]

MINE!

I was going to bid on that one, but life happened to me today and other things became more important.

And speaking of bargain Borsalinos...

This one's a restoration job for me - but the price was right:

More of the latest trend of out of focus frustrating photos. Might turn out to be great[huh] At that price you are definitely safe.

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

Yep, it's a bit of a risk, but at that price I took the plunge.

I'm looking at perhaps bidding on a Stetson Whippet on eBay. The size is 3/8. Wondering if that is a 6 3/8 or 7 3/8? I'll have to email the seller I guess.

Nailing Down a Size

I like asking buyers to measure the hat's opening from front to back and side to side. It's less work for them than circumference, often more accurate, and gives you some idea of the oval shape, as well.

[AXL DEMOCRACY]

Thanks Ande.

I think I will request that before I bid.

[AXL DEMOCRACY]

I just got this on eBay.

I will probably replace the ribbon, but I really like the hat.

I have yet to see a 6 3/8. The smallest hat I've ever seen roaming about the prairie was a 6 1/2, so I take this to be a 7 3/8.

Thanks!

Love it!
Can't wait to see it once you or Optimo sort it out.

Bankers Special Panama

Hope I've found my summer hat. We'll see if it fits. Same seller as RLK's bankers special.
