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

[billysmom]

I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or just start with martinis for breakfast. For all I know, in the ADAM lexicon, "Vicorona" may just be another term for "Tribble."

Then again, in its own way, this one could also turn out to be very cool...

OK. That's it. Be gentle...

I must admit I'm having a hard time visualizing you in this, but maybe it has a place in those cold Michigan winters? Apres-ski?

Heck, I can picture Jimmy wearing this hat while watching cartoons on a snowy weekend. Got any mint green flannel PJs Jimmy?

 

[High Pockets]

Jimmy,...you've GOT to go dig out a shirt for one more photo of it!

Spock... If I ... Can... Only... Figure out.... How do we shave these things... They'll make a great hat!

hehehe Sorry I had to.

Can it be pounced a wee bit?

This is, without a doubt, my quirkiest hat acquisition ever. I can't really explain it -- it was late last night, and it seemed like a good idea at the time...

So, here you have it -- a green ADAM DeLuxe Quality "Genuine Vicorona"...

I would have taken it if the size was smaller. Perhaps its a blend of Vicuna fur shaven from the top of their head.

That is a beauty!
What size is it?

 

[Lefty]

Wait until he tries it on and discovers that narrow brim, wide ribbon, fuzzy hats are his new favorite. The buzz of JtL's new favorite will hit the Lounge, ebay will be flooded with unsellable ORs, and the Open Road Guild will file Chapter 7. Akubra's reports of a 72% drop in the sales of the CD in the first week will send the Australian economy into a tailspin that will only end when they sell the naming right to the continent to Hanes, who will rename it Down-Underwear.

Do you see what you've done, JtL? Do you really appreciate its impact?

Incidentally, the Seller reports the following:

"The original paper size label is still attached, 7 1/2. Measures; CROWN is 5 1/2" high and BRIM is 2 7/8". The band is 2" wide."

Cheers,
JtL

Just a suggestion, Jim, but I think it would look really nice with a fleece hawaiian shirt.

 

[Brad Bowers]

JtL, that is a very rare Adam, and a fantastic hat! What a prize!

jtl - I wanted that fuzzy hat BAD - but it's HUGE!!! Great pick-up!!! :eusa_clap

(noticing rlk's comment, this might be a case where the large size kept the price down!)

edited to add: I'm looking at that auction again - what an amazing hat! Can't wait to see what that one looks like on your head.

Thanks, rlk. At least it looks like the price was decent even if it is non-vintage. Best, Sam
