[Aureliano]

Combination of feathers and gay prince stitching... kiss of death for the seller, nice bargain for the buyer.

Nice one, looking forward to the pictures, Robert.

Hey guys what can you all tell me about the Stetson Falcon? I got this on the cheap thought it was worth a try.

Price is right. Brush it up a bit and so long as it fits it should be a decent Falcon Stetson.

 

[Historyteach24]

Hoyt if it doesnt fit what is a fair resale price?

 

[Hoyt Clagwell]

Ya got me there teach, anything more than what it cost will be profit though.

 

[Historyteach24]

Yep the sizing information was so vaugue that is whythe interest was not there. Interested to see if it fits

Yup, those of you with diminutive crania have all the luck . . .

 

[bowlerman]

makes me wish i went in on it!

I object. Insistently.

7 1/8, yes.
7, maybe.

At 6 7/8 the pool is pretty dry...and I should know!
I believe it was our own man from Portland who dragged them fine lids all in a long time ago.

 

[VetPsychWars]

7 1/8, which is what I wear, is a popular size, so the prices are always high. While I sympathize with you people with freakishly large heads, I wouldn't necessarily call us lucky...

At least there ARE nice 7 1/8 hats. And lots of them, at least when compared to the smaller sizes. Price is of course a different matter. In the 6 7/8 camp they are usually still a good deal cheaper than those in the bigger departments but then there are not so many nice hats around anymore, at least not many that I'd be interested in - which makes of course all the difference.

 

[alanfgag]

The hair is always greener under someone else's hat... so to speak.

 

[Mario]

Hmm...I'll to try and take a look as soon as I meet someone else with a SERIOUS hat...

 

[SteveAS]

Not much interest for this Mallory

These old hats with funny stitching seldom seem to do well. I recently got an unusual Mallory Fifteen for a similarly low price.

Got the Dobbs today, posting the images here and over on the new hats thread:

Not bad for $20. The felt is absolutely perfect, for being a 40-50 year old hat.

 

[Rudie]

Today I received this Stephen L. Stetson "Famous Ten".

Beautiful soft brown felt and a Cavanagh edge. Too bad it's not 22" as advertised in the auction. Instead it's a 7 3/8 and not a 7. There's even the original size tag inside. No idea why the seller didn't mention it. What a bummer.

 

[alanfgag]

That's too bad. It's a beautiful hat. I have a feeling your inbox will be ringing.

Oh well ... These things do happen. We have all been there. Hopefully, you can get a refund (or flip it without incurring loss).
