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

[Michael Carter]

Not a hat, but I picked up a nice Harris Tweed jacket a few minutes ago for this season. Made for Joseph Banks. Never shopped there before so I don't know what to expect except that Harris Tweed is Harris Tweed no matter where you buy it.

Does anyone know when Lion Hats morphed into the Beaver Brand? I'd like an apx. date to put to this.[/COLOR]

Not that I know of but any Lion Hats hat is of historical value around here - it's one of those brands that just hasn't received much attention. Could we see a better pic of the sweat and liner details, Rick?

Heck, I still regret not being able to buy the 1954 Volkswagon barn-door bus with semaphore turn signals and factory-installed vent that I could have had for $400 in 1980. Of course, the fact that I was laid off from my factory job and the first wife wasn't working due to a broken leg meant that $400 may as well as been $4M, but still...

Cheers,

Tom, that's a great story! I got a good chuckle out of that so thanks for posting!

Eeeeeek!!! Rick....that feather band is scary! But what a great conversion project! I'm on the hunt for something similar in tan/light brown but 7 5/8 LO or 7 3/4 is hard to find. Good luck with it and post pics!

Just as soon as I get it in the mail I'll try to post better photos. These are just the sorry auction pix.

NOS 1960's hat...I'm with you Lefty.

 

[Tango Yankee]

Another non-Stetson thin-ribbon goes cheap, this one a nice Mallory.

My wife is gonna kill me...

Cheers,
Tom

Bet the seller was pleasantly surprised... $35 reserve.

What a couple of old nags.

You gotta pay to play.

 

[bolthead]

I was going to bid on that one but got busy and forgot about it. If the buyer finds that it doesn't fit or suit him as hoped, please send me a PM. Thanks!

Ditto.

Have her call me and I'll put in a voucher for you. I'll let her know that is such a good price on a great hat that you actually SAVED money!

 

[Rodkins]

Here's one I just received...Knox Westlite "Open Road"

 

[BanjoMerlin]

All you need is two bidders who don't actually know what they are looking at.

I really loved the part where he says the hat had never been creased, then he went ahead and creased it!

 

[RobFedoraField]

Hopefully there is a thin ribbon under that mass of absurd chicken feathers. I figure to trim & reflange the brim and give it a teardrop crown.

Does anyone know when Lion Hats morphed into the Beaver Brand? I'd like an apx. date to put to this.

I didn't know that it did, but that's a very useful tidbit of information! Sorry, should have read all the posts before responding....
