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

[Blare]

I saw your post and it does have elements of Langenberg. To me, it looks like better construction and sharper details than many Langenberg hats I've seen, so there may be more to it than we know. Regardless, it looks like an impeccable hat. I'm jealous.

Thanks Randy.

Yep, seller came down enough for me to pull the trigger. When am I going to find another one?

Got an Ebay two-fer today... one a cheap little wool Cavendar's western project hat. (Beaver Brand or Master Hatters of Texas maybe?) Kinda reminds me of a big coal shovel lol. Doing a curl job on it for a buddy

The other is actually a nice little Stetson 3x . Im guessing from 60's? Once again... Seller put Two gallons of hat in a 1 qt box lol. Little bit of steam and a little love and it looks a lot better
As it arrived...

And now... it should shape up nicely. Felts in pretty decent shape ... just a couple smudges to get off...Nice thin dress weight felt. Time to get cleaning!

Nice job reshaping the 3x. And keeping just a tad of its jaunty character.
