Just won a vintage silk plush top hat:

Looks in good nick though I might have to send it off to Patey's for minor renovation if applicable and of course to re-conform it to my head.

Looks like I might attend Royal Ascot this year as planned!

Knox Premier 7 3/8

I won this Knox. If I sniped anyone on here, I respectfully apologize. I hope this is nice and there are no surprises, since I am always skeptical of blurry pics.

Graduations Jabos, your Knox caught my eye but my bib was not close to the final action. Love to see the hat on when it arrives

 

[jonbuilder]

Congrats!

I placed a bid on those at one point; I don't own a Cavanagh yet. I was hoping for that chance that everyone else might just forget.

You know that section of your eBay homepage that tells you how much you spent this month? Well, I discovered it the other day, and let's just say it influenced my decision to bid any higher.

Looking forward to seeing the results.

I was bidding for the Panama just don't know enough with the pictures posted to bid higher. I know Cavanagh are nice hats but this one wasn’t my style
I also look forward to see more about this hats

Jabos, congrats on the Knox.

Jon, that Dobbs panama is a beauty. Seach Punch and you'll find the one JtL bought within the past year.

This is a heck of a nice Borso

This one is pretty great too. I've never seen this liner, and that's a heck of a wide sweat.

Another idiom absorbed, thank you very much. Nice hat!

Scott, There are some members who are hatters in the Pacific NW. Art Fawcett (OR) comes to mind. I believe there are one or two more located in WA.

Rick Blaine posted this in another thread a couple of years ago.

"A few:

North Valley Hat Co. in OR
Mike the Hatter in Ohio
Jimmy Pierce in Tx
Jackson Hole Hat Co. in WY
Worth & Worth in NYC
Arizona Hatters' in, uh, AZ
Peter Bros. in TX
... and lotsa others, I am sure. Google "hat repair" or "hat cleaning" or "Hat renovation" you will turn 'em up."

Also our very own TonyB in Olympia

I tried bidding on this one at the last moment. When I did, I got back a message telling me that the next bid would go over the BIN amount and that I should go back and use the BIN. Odd. I wasn't anywhere near the BIN amount in my bid. When I looked back at it, the bidding had ended and was still showing the amount that was up when I bid. [huh]

Knox Tom and Jerry

Not the hat, the mug! lol

I won this Knox. If I sniped anyone on here, I respectfully apologize. I hope this is nice and there are no surprises, since I am always skeptical of blurry pics.

You sniped me by three bucks. Nice win.

You sniped me by three bucks. Nice win.

Thanks. Sorry 'bout that. The joke may be on me since most of the "fidora" pics were blurry. They probably photoshopped the moth nips out!!!

Mike the Hatter in Ohio

BAD NEWS

Congrats Jabos ! I too was watching this one and decided not to bid because it didn't look like it had a Cavanagh edge. I'll be curious how you like it when you get it.

 

[Gilgamark]

Thanks. Sorry 'bout that. The joke may be on me since most of the "fidora" pics were blurry. They probably photoshopped the moth nips out!!!

No prob. The seller has several other "fidoras" for sale. Picked them up at estate sales.

 

[Lefty]

All of us claim to really like hats, but only a person who really likes hats could have bid on this jacket.

I was the other bidder. They had some as yet unknown but probably near the "Buy it Now" reserve. Waiting to hear from the seller.

Just won this nice old boater tonight on eBay. If the seller's measurements are accurate, there's a chance it might fit - but fit is always a bit dicey with the stiffness of boaters. Cheap enough at 20 bucks to take the chance.

Alas, it's another hat I won't actually get my hands on for awhile because the seller wouldn't ship to Canadia so I'm having it sent to my daughter in upstate NewYork whom I'll be visiting in early May. I've been looking a long time for just the right vintage boater. I can wait a little longer.

Weekend eBay Wars

I reigned supreme for five days with the bid at $24.00 on this one, until the last few minutes when someone (I know it was one of you!!) tried to overthrow me.... but I sniped it back. Hey, Something had to go right for me this weekend.
