I was kind of hoping that would happen.:eusa_clap

Thanks Robert. It will be the first bowler I have ever worn in public - never thought it would happen.

I blame Stetson...and you guys.

Yes, Robert, let us frolick with our Bowlers together. The world be damned Robert we will wear our Bowlers, and the shame will be on them Robert. our love will overcome, yes Robert our black rotund crowns will...

Odd...[huh]

 

[Chinaski]

Okay, Artie. Not sure what's going on but before a bartender steps in let me say your comments are odd at best. Please stop.

:arated: Agree.

 

[feltfan]

Er, what's the big deal? Artie's silliness seems to have hit a nerve.

Ah JtL, that Pliafelt will not disappoint. Clearly I need to pay more
attention on eBay.

Derby or Open Crown?

I won this hat yesterday and I am stoked as it looks like NOS. I used to own a kitten finish 3X Beaver Resistol and it was some amazing felt. I'm hoping this one will stack up.

Open Crown

Looks like an open crown to me. Looks like a great stingy! Nice find. Regards, F_M

Resistol

Looks like an open crown with either cav. or welted edge. Nice!

I'm with you. I have a Mallory Dallas in Premier Quality Pliafelt -- some of the nicest felt of any of my lids.

Cheers,
JtL

How are you searching international eBay sites ??

Well, you go to the international eBay site and, well, search. I don't understand the difficulty.

eBay.fr is particularly easy as it's very well organised vis a vis categories. Search "chapeau* hom*"; don't forget the asterisks. You'll get more focused results by going through the correct categories. In this case "Collections" "Costumes, Vêtements D'époque". I'll leave you to find the correct categories in eBay.de, eBay.it etc. etc.

I have little idea why i'm helping out the competition. Call it being helpful. Nice fedoras go cheap on eBay.fr; might be a challenge to find one larger than 7 1/8 though.

Just arrived. Was it common for bowlers to taper outward like this? I bought this to filch the liner for a fedora, but it's a beautiful hat that I'll be wearing as-is:

Wow. I can't wait to see more. :eusa_clap

 

[Lefty]

I'm pretty psyched about this one. A Mallory 10 Pliafelt in blue/gray. Looks to be in excellent condition:

I can't believe how little that one fetched. Congrats! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I know -- I was shocked. Thanks.

thanks for the help, I always though eBay.com would search the international sites automatically and give results that are shipped world wide, guess I better brush up on my french

It's exactly like the one I'm selling in the classifieds

You're right, it does. But it misses an awful lot, and it only searches using the words you've entered. Therefore unlikely to find a fedora not called a fedora. And they seem never to use the word "vintage" in Europe.

Have you ever told yourself; "Self, you have too many hats, you don't need any more." Then you stumble across something you have to have?

DAMN MY EYES!

There is another one too! :eusa_doh:
