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

Nabbed this off of Etsy. Not sure of the age, or who it is made by, but it does have a frayed bow, if that makes it older... I do not know! It is coming from Ireland, so we shall see when it arrives! Many thanks to GEF for stumbling across it, and posting it in the Vintage Finds thread!

The Sweatbandless Borsabisio I did win.

I get partial credit; it is Italian.

It has an older look to it. I think it might be wool. Nice find!

I do hope it is truly old! I am just curious to see who the maker is.

Won this Stetson "porkpie" on the bay this morning as a B.I.N. Too small for me, but I really want to look at it for reasearch reasons. I'm thinking 20's, due to the IIIIII stitching?

Justin, nice find! A pity that he is to small for you.

Dunno if this is of interest to anyone here, but I bumped across this a few moments ago whilst poking around after something else entirely:

Very very nice and a steal!

Just won this 1920s Stetson 'The Avenue' Expo Medal off the 'bay. From what I understand, these are hard to come by. From the pics, and description, it seems as if this hat has no mothing what so ever, but I shall see when it arrives. I am glad to say I have found one of the hats I have been trying to aquire since I have started wearing vintage hats!

 

[hatophile]

Wow, what a great find, Justin. Looking forward to seeing pics when you get it!

 

[alanfgag]

That's a fantastic find! You should be able to fix that backwards pinch easy enough.

 

[hatsRme]

WowOWOW Casechopper! YOu're on fire this month! This one may be the topper, though (no pun). At a Steal, for sure.

Splinter, can't wait to see the pics!
Both Old stetsons are

Congrat on the Strat, Hat ophile!

Knox Vagabond and a very nice palm braid Stetson Medalist.


Almost put in a bid on this one but it wouldnt have mattered because there were clearly people watching who knew what a good score this was and willing to spend more.

I lost a beautiful grey Stetson Royal Deluxe homburg last night. Well, I really just completely forgot about the listing, even though I really wanted the hat. What I lost last night was some sleep, because of my forgetfulness. Ugh!!
