I Wish My Head Was Bigger

[Prairie Shade]

I hope I'm not giving away any secrets, but if I wore a 7 1/2 Hat size I would definately be glued to the Stetson Search in Ebay!!!! I just hope a resident of the lounge wins, then maybe they will share some pictures and make reports!!!

 

[Prairie Shade]

If Their Too Small -Will you share?

Damn, there hard to find!!! How about Item 8317627763 - 19 hrs and then 8317663977 - 22 hours. These would be mine if the governor had a little smaller head!!!! Politicians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting. I might just give it a whirl. They are big enough---or they could be.

P.S. I forgot to mention that I would share all the 6 7/8 that might be in there.

Mucho Gracias

Anything 7 3/8 will probably do!!!

[Prairie Shade]

Damn easy to stretch out an eigth of an inch, damn tough to shrink though. If my size were smaller, I wouldnt have posted this!!!!!! Your on your own!!!

Just remember if you win it, that if you don't want any one of the hats you can send it to me.

A horrible one would be more than what I already have, which is zero.

I'm not having any good luck at all on EBay, none at all.

Sure I will----for a price.

Thought This Was Interesting

These lots caught my eye the other day. They deserve to command a nice price due to their provenance. My size too...

More on the good Governor - interesting fellow.:

Martin said, " . . . a government which gives the people everything they want will soon take everything they have."

Definitely my kind of governor and my kind of hats. :clap Thanks for the link.

Mr. H needs Mr. Stretcher

Tell me this: how difficult will it be for me to get a 7 3/8 up to a 7 1/2? I've read all the postings and excellent info regarding the methods, but I'm hoping they'll work in practice!!

Also - the only qualified hatter left in Ireland, Mr. Bill Coyle, retired last year. Yikes! I'm gunna have to reblock and clean them myself!

What you need is this:

I would trade you but that is not possible. Don't complain. You can find a whole lot more than I can.
FF, that hat stretcher would be fine if you knew it worked, had the cord and/or were sure how to rewire it if something happened. At $150 and probably going to end at over $200, I would prefer one with all the parts there and an assurance of good operation.
I picked mine up for $40 but I have to work with it and rewire part of it for it to be useful to me. Still a heck of a deal based on the price of that one. If it was me looking for one now, I would hold off and wait for the right one to show up with all the parts and assurance of heating. Until them something like one of these babies would do the trick:

And he scores again! Congrats. Really good prices, per hat, even if you don't count the straw one.

Anyone want a slightly used famous straw hat? :cheers1:
