third times the charm

Glad to see there's no "I" in marrage.

Since this is my third go around, I figured maybe the "I" was the problem
Maybe I should call it Marr"team"age ???

Now that is a good boater!

Is it stiff enough to slice someone's head off?

Thanks, Charlie. It appears to be in tip-top condition, though I may need to replace the band. And yes, I think it's definitely gonna be stiff enough to do the job, particularly with that slightly saw-tooth edge of the brim.

Now I need a striped jacket like the one in your avatar. That's class-A sharp!

Just BINed a Royal Stetson homburg for $40. I have been looking for a fedora with this colour combination for a while, I guess I'll have to put up with it in this for now.

I hope that works for you - the seller sent me a close-up of the brim last night :

Won this hat tonight..

What do ya'll think of it? For some reason the different angles of the pics taken make it look like two different hats..

Loved the grey bowler with burgundy ribbon work - I wanted it, but not that much.

Portis $80 just missed this one

I was going to bid on that one, but then decided not to. Rilico is a good seller I've bought from him many times in the past, you should enjoy it .

Adventurebilt 7 5/8

Astronomical price for a very nice hat stretcher

Adventurebilt 7 5/8

A used AB for $400? What am I missing here...? [huh] Is this what it's worth not to have to wait for one?

Cheers,
JtL

 

[Lefty]

Isn't the wait around a year and a half - with poor communication? For that kind of expense and frustration, I could see someone who's really into IJ paying a new hat price for a used one.

edit: Bidding history indicates that the winner was really going after this one.

Stetson Open Road

I have observed that on the FL it seems like "everyone" has one and that they are "a dime a dozen", '60s or older. That is my impression. It is also my impression after my "extensive" two month study of Ebay hats that I don't notice that many Open Roads. Are most of the older Open Roads in a western crease that causes me to overlook them? Am I just still a bit "wet behind the ears" at this? Okay, no more corny catch phrases.

 

[Belegnole]

I watched that stretcher knowing it was going to go for a couple more than I was willing to pay. I watched it and I really really wanted it, but I really don't have that type of money right now. It sure looks nice though......

they come up quite often, some cattleman creased, others not. The discernible model name and the attention they receive here go a long way to raising their price way beyond other hats of the same era and quality.

Thanks Dman. Okay, enough fftopic:
