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

[indycop]

I just bought this for my wife. I can't believe the price. The hats from Monte Cristi Customs start at $400. I have no idea what this one would go for.

Ok Lefty, I am going to have to take that hat for evidence cos you stole that one!!lol lol :eusa_clap

I don't know what the hat cost for the proud owner, but I don't expect my purchase to glow anything like his. This shot, showing just how fine and even the weave is, just killed me.

A couple of ended auctions:

Anyone here get this Knox bowler in 7 5/8?

Who is the lucky winner of this MacLachlan fedora in 7 1/4?

This presumably vintage Borsalino in 7 5/8 just ended. I didn't bid because the sweatband looks stiff and mutated. Anyone here get it?

Ok, I just got this one. I'm really excited about that I finally got a Whippet.

So ah, did I do good?

GREAT BUY! You did way better than good! Congratulations! :eusa_clap

I just got this for $20, I don't think many Aussies know the brand, and from what I can gather, CRAVENETTE is a waterproofing process rather than a style, it's a touch on the stingy side for me, but with a Cavanaugh edge, it's pretty cute....and it's 7-1/8!

You have a nice Mallory there. Once you have it cleaned up, please show us how it looks on you. :eusa_clap

Who is the lucky winner of this MacLachlan fedora in 7 1/4?

I'd love to get a hat from Marc (crosby square), as I know that you can trust his information on his products. Every time he runs an auction, which I think is about once a year, I hope for a 7 1/2, but no such luck. He's got the world's best selection of nothing that fits me.

touch and go

The wife doesn't like it, but with a 50's suit I might get a 'jazz' look happening, I have to play a big dance club next month, I might try it out then

The Christy's Foldaway just arrived today. It's sitting in a box next to me at work, so I can't look at it yet. It was shipped in a shoebox! It's just as well, though. The hat is made to be stored like that. I'll post a picture or four later on.

 

[GWD]

I've been waiting for one of these for a reasonable price for quite awhile.

 

[bolthead]

Wow........

That's in excellent shape Gary.....nice score. :eusa_clap

 

[GWD]

Thanks Bolt! Yeah! I'm pretty excited about this one!

 

[Dinerman]

and for once a seller got the date just about right on a boater. That looks like a '20s stetson no doubt.

 

[Lefty]

I saw that this morning and was disappointed that it wasn't my size.
Good score, GWD.

 

[GWD]

Thanks again!
