I tried to tell the seller that his size “7.5” Borsalino is a US size 7, but he wasn’t going to fall for my scam.

If you squint real hard and poke yourself in the eye you might see a dot between the 7 and the 5.
Poke the other eye and you might see "Whippet" too.

On closer inspection, I can see why he didn't fall for your scam. It's a UK size 7.

Don't they measure sizes in hogsheads per hectare or something like that?

Depends on how big the hog is.

The 57 is just 7.5 written backwards; everybody knows that!

That's loco! Well, let me say, it is only worth it what someone is willing to pay, and I'm not the willing type with my money[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Finally picked up my first homburg, was trying to find one that isn't black. It's now waiting for me at my PO box. I believe it's from the 30's or 40's?

Needs some cleaning up but it was snagged for cheap!

Another hat pointed out to me by Brent. Gracias, Brent.
Townway by Dalton Beaver Fifteen.
I only had one other, and the felt in this one looks like it's better .

Gripe:
Bought an Ebay 8x Rand for my wife. Hat arrived. Nice hat but not the size listed. Too large for her and so much so that it came down over her ears.

Contacted seller, requested return/refund. Sent photo of Rand's build specs under the sweat band, showing the size a full size larger than listed.

Seller questions my lifting up the sweat band like it's a problem. I assure it's normal procedure and perhaps seller should have checked prior to listing.

Seller said ship it back. Priority mailed it back with 2 day delivery. Then seller says 'am out of town...will photograph the opening of the box and the item when I return in a week or so". Seller says a family member took delivery of the package and brought it in.

Ten days later seller says the hat looks fine and "looks like I owe you a refund". It's now 3 weeks since the purchase.

Nearly two weeks later, am still awaiting a refund. Seller says a refund has been initiated several times but fails to process.

I've now turned it over to Ebay for resolution as to why seller cannot process the refund.

Not worried about it, it will eventually happen. But IMHO Seller is full of it.

Update: finally gave up on seller and initiated the Ebay refund thru Ebay. Received my refund in less than 10 min. Then seller emailed and asked why I asked Ebay to step in.

Duh.

No idea, Max. The Kaufmanns I picked up for my wife is the first "by Dalton" I've seen. The lack of a cellophane liner tip says maybe pre-50s to me, though. Same as the Kaufmanns. The re-order tag may hold some clues.

I'll be happy to take a closer look; just send it my way.

And I prefer Charlie's Duke of Dalton, to be honest.
