CaramelSmoothie, that looks like a great hat!

Justin, can't wait to see more of that one. Looks amazing.

That it does, Jeff. From the few photos, it looks like there is minimal-to-no mothing on the hat, and the sweat, ribbon, liner look to be pristine.

Looks great!

Big baku, small bucks... I think all the big boys must be on vacation.

 

[splintercellsz]

Looks great!

I hope it looks better in person

Big baku, small bucks... I think all the big boys must be on vacation.

Seems to be!

I got this back bow Resistol 10 from Etsy. Mid 50s, I think?

Disney 40

Yesterday's auction for a Disney 40 fedora.
I have another... quite a fine hat, perhaps slightly less sublime than a Knox 40. So I bid on another to compare. It was quite a bit less expensive than the first.

 

[DJH]

Aha, the Disney. Alan, I had a snipe set up on that one for a while - it does look to be a nice hat.

The more I looked at it, it seemed that the brim was on the wide side for a hat I want to wear often so I deleted my snipe bid. Saved you a few buckeroonies I think

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks David. I bid low at the last minute. Seems to be a buyer's climate at the moment. The brim is quite wide for a dress hat, just as it is on my other. Hoping the size isn't too small. First hat I've bid on in some time.

 

[ManofKent]

Looks promising Alan.

Looks like there have been some deals on the bay recently. With people asking 400 dollars for Stetson playboys and alike I have almost given up even checking that stinking site

This is what happens when you wait too long to "pull the trigger " on a hat I am so P i**ed at myself for not just buying it
and it was so cheap.

That was a real miss, Frank. Happens to the best of us. Last disappointment for me (a few months ago) caused sleep loss, racing heart, and absolutely surprising stress. But, they're only hats... right?!

 

[Banky]

wow, that is a bad miss. $12.50 is hard to beat. nice looking hat too.

No love whatsoever for a beautiful 3X Stetson from a Lounge Member.

I'd have bid, but I have a Whippet that is almost exactly the same. I probably should have bought the 3X then sold the Whippet for $$$

 

[Historyteach24]

Yea you could have sold the Whippet for 2 bald eagles and a 1st born in the classified section lol

 

[DJH]

Teach - I'm such a softy, I'd have sold it to a fellow Lounger at a bargain price

Did I miss your birthday the other day? Hope it was a good day for you!

 

[Ormazd]

I wish I had a tiny little head.

 

[Historyteach24]

Yep David yesterday. Thank you it was very nice!

I'm completely blown away that no one else (other than one other bidder) was interested in this 1917-1923 Dobbs Tuxedo Hat. And that bidder wasn't terribly interested, by just bidding the minimum. I figured I would be paying close to my max bid on this one, or lose it altogether, but am dumbfounded. I'm really hoping the size is correct, as that's my size, but even if not, it was still a good win.
