Stetson 7X Clear Beaver
...

interesting gold thread running through the back bow
...
unique leather on sweatband, almost patent leather-like

Any markings on the back of that sweatband Tommy?
Shudde Bros did a good many refurbs
Nice snags lately...:eusa_clap

GT, I believe you are right;

Rensh is short for "renovated by Shudde" or something like that?

Yep, thought it may be, & probably why no "Open Road" is stamped on it. They would have the 7X CB replacement liners but not OR stamped ones....JMHO

It doesn't have the Open Road brim binding either. No stitch line like it was removed and it's 2 7/8 brim. I kind of thought it's just some other Western model that was similar

Sorry, didn't look that close. I have an old Stetson Corral 25 that is similar = raw edge but otherwise OR dimension but it has 2 ply ribbon.

I had that one watch it was a very quick bidding it seem as I saw it at a lot price and boom it went.. in 2 bids.. I wasn't to buy it but did what to see where it would go..

Very nice .. have one near like it with the same pin. You got a great hat.

 

[tommyK]

Thanks for sharing this, el_ote. Like the Open Road, the Stetsonian has had very different incarnations over the years. Great to see your fine example

Forgive me if this one has come up before. $898 is a lot for any hat but, hey it looks really nice so they can ask whatever they want. However, upon reading the description I noticed this; "A couple of tiny bug bites". Perhaps I'm missing something? So they're asking $898 for a moth eaten hat? this is a big pass for me. Any takers?

I'd be a taker at around $200 for a slice like that

But they're just *tiny* bug bites. That shouldn't affect the price, should it?

Wait, I've got it. Since they give character to the hat they must ADD VALUE to the hat! That has to be the seller's reasoning.

 

[Frunobulax]

Sadly, it's not my size.

The hat and the price tag.

 

[tommyK]

A gripe and a victory all in one

Like many I'm always scouring Ebay looking for poorly listed nuggets of glory and found this;

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Vintag...781?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ae9edc93d

No liner but hey if it goes cheap...well I don't have a Disney hat so I'll bid low and see what happens. I got it cheap! So here's the seller's one good pic

So I'm thinking grey-ish, maybe charcoal or a taupe grey/brown mix. I got this;

Nothing like their pic, right? That's fine with me, I favor the browns anyway and holy smokes is this a nice hat! Victory! Velvety smooth Dobbs like finish, beautiful clay-like moldability. The one tiny mothbite is microscopic and virtually invisible. Shark gills. Big 3 inch brim. Absolutely thrilled with my non-grey hat!

 

[jlee562]

Nice one Tommy! I'm pretty sure that I got good prices on my Borso Torino and Dobbs Gay Prince because the seller photos were so bad.

 

[Frunobulax]

Congrats, Tommy! I had an eye on that guy's three hats, as well. Sadly, if I remember, none were in my size. I have one Disney, and like it very much. Hope you get alot of wear out of it.
