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

[hatophile]

Got this chapeau bras (folding bicorne) worn for court dress:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360342875344&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I'm going to carry it for an older style of white tie worn with breeches (also useful should I attend an investiture).

Capital my good man!

So tell me, which sword will you wear with it?

 

[Tango Yankee]

OK, I put in the foam oval shape so that the hat sits on the brim by the crown instead of the hat laying flat on the whole brim...

This is working very nicely, actually.

I don't normally include photos from posts in my responses to said posts, but this time I will... :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap! Darned good job!!!

Cheers,
Tom

Just purchased this. Originally didn't care for the style, but it's grown on me thanks to you guys

Went with my gut, and thought it was a good BIN price. What do you guys think?

I think your gut gave you good advice! I'd have snagged it myself if I'd seen it. Looks like a good candidate for this thread, too: A Loose Affiliation of Ribbons Niether Wide nor Thin


Enjoy it!

I found my FedoraFest 3 hat!!!

Well Ive been searching for an "open road" type hat for Texas, and I just won it from ebay. I cant wait to get the box in and actually hold it in my hands. Its not vintage, but for the price, its pretty hard to beat. Lucky for me, no one has ever heard of "BORSALINA." LOL. The retail price on this hat is between $285 and $310

You know you will have to pay up to the Devil at some point for this hat. LOL

LOL! Nice detective work!

 

[hatophile]

Great find Josh, can't wait to see it on your head!

 

[RBH]

For some reason Josh... I believe that hat will fit right in at FedoraFest!!!

 

[Rick Blaine]

I'll bet the microcephalics get all the cute girls too!

Great score. I have two of these & they are as light as a butterflies' wing and pure pleasure to wear. Twenty bucks! #*&_*&%%^$! :eusa_doh:

I watched that one. Too small for me but what a beauty. I LOVE my Stetson Playboy.

 

[DanielJones]

Yeah, I was watching that one too. Glad a Lounger got it. Please be sure to post it once it arrives Bart.

Did anyone here manage tot snag the Gay Prince and Gay Baron that was listed the other day? They went for a real low price, somebody got a fantastic deal on each one.

Cheers!
