I just won this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/23071187186...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2713wt_1189

I hope it fits! (I have worn everything from 7 1/2 to 7 3/4, depending on the hat)
Anyone know how old it is? Made in the 50s perhaps?


P.s If it doesn´t fit, I'll sell it to one of you guys for the same price I bought it for (48 pound sterling) , if anyone´s interested.

Ah yes, I was very tempted to bid on that one too, but I decided to focus down on the Dunn. Hope it fits! If not I might be interested in purchasing.

I'm home recovering from foot surgery, so I had way too much time on my hands this week. Filled the hours surfing eBay on the iPad, looking at what the wife calls "hat porn." Tonight I won this Knox Panama. I figured I had a chance to snap up a bargain, since the seller listed it merely as a "Knox Hat," then showed a Dobbs box as the main gallery image. Got it for less than $65 shipped. Sure hope it fits! If not, it'll end up in the classifieds, along with the black Disney fedora I won last week. The Disney is a really beautiful hat, but a few days after receiving it I won a similar black Champ Spacelight that fits even better. Don't worry - the stitches come out on the 19th, then I'm cleared to drive again. But in the meantime, there are still a few interesting items already in the Watch List . . . .

Here's a couple of screengrabs of the Knox Panama:

This morning...

I rolled from bed, poured a coffee & shot this one down right out of the stocks, it'd just been posted not five minutes prior.

I reckon I can obscure the mothing w/the band. This may be as good as I feel for the rest of the day... or at least 'til the sun is over the yardarm.

I've done some of my best work in pajamas. Good shootin' Rick.

Anyone get the C&K derby?

Looks like it was in excellent shape.

 

[delectans]

'Twas me. Second early C&K Derby from Minnesota in the past month for me. Could not let it leave the state after nearly a century. Will post better photos soon. It looks to be in fine condition, indeed.

 

[billyspew]

I'll look forward to it, was sorely tempted myself, but glad it stayed in MN.

 

[delectans]

Thanks, Billy. Relieved that I was not bidding against you.

Here's one I purchased on Ebay about 10 days ago:

I was concerned that my purchase had been too hasty but my buyer's remorse dissipated upon opening the box and feeling that soft, fine felt.

After a quick naptha bath and brush-up:

Some steam and a tweak:

..........and a head shot or two:

This hat is super light (99grams), marked 7 1/4 but fits bigger and may even deserve a new dark maroon ribbon at some point.

Thanks for looking,

MP

Wow, nice hat. You did an awesome job bringing it back!

Thanks Javier! it still has that kinda 'lived in' look that I like to keep in my old hats......old anythings for that matter!

Good Sir, I do believe that the discerning Gentleman has the right to treat himself! By all means indulge in the Navy Blue and fulfill that need brother. Semper Fi!

Very nice vintage 1920s-'30s newsboy cap with a houndstooth pattern. Did a Fedora Lounger win this one?

I was the underbidder on this nice, navy blue Playboy Air Light. I'm hoping a lounger won it and will be sharing better photos?
