OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

[Blare]

For those playing the Guess the Mystery $6 hat...we were all wrong except for those being facetious. Dobbs was the leading guess.

No moth damage and no stains. 2 3/8” felted edge brim. 5 1/4” open crown. The disappointing, but not surprising, part is the size: 6 7/8.

The liner and sweat are marked Rogers Peet. The felt is quite wonderful.

Wow! Certainly unexpected

Man... that sure is a nice hat... and to think... you got it for less than half of its original selling price!

What a story and what a way to find a Mac! Tim, @Hagwood you should jump on this one!

Rogers Peet was a high end clothing store dating from 1874 (?) and the Rogers Peet Bldg in NY from 1863 (?). I assumed the hat was made for them by someone else but never imagined MacLachlan. It does indeed look like the 100 to me...

I bought a Rogers Peet cashmere jacket from @tweedydon here on the FL and had it sent to Jonathan Cordova to be made into my very first cap.

Great looking, Doug.

Yes, Brent's hat is definitely a Mac 100. No doubt.

Is that 6-7/8 UK size of 6-7/8 US size?

US sizing. It’s already found a good home.

Our reputation has gone to the dogs and all because of a six dollar hat!

Thanks. I just hope the seller knew what she was talking about when she listed the hat.

Dang Brent, score! Can’t wait to see more pics

Dang Brent, score! Can’t wait to see more pics

Thanks Ross. I made an offer and thirty minutes later went back an bought it at her full asking price. I sure hope it’s the size she said; no photos of tags or labels.

Rough around the edge, Brent, but looks like a great find. Hope it fits, I know you have been looking for a while!

Thanks, Randy. This will be my fourth Stetson One-Hundred, but so far only one has worked out for me. The good part is I never have any difficulty finding someone who’ll take them off my hands.
