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

[deadlyhandsome]

I’ve been meaning to try Sterkowski caps and when I saw this linen cap on sale in my size I figured it was meant to be. I still want to try one of their biker caps.

Was watching these two from the same Goodwill store. I tried several times to get them to post the correct exterior for one of the hats. They swore they were correct.

Hope someone here got them (and will share pics of the one not shown).

I too was watching that hat. Goodwill has been a complete crapshoot for me; much worse than eBay.

I pulled the Valentine and the white buffalo out of Goodwill and some other clothes/shoes but they seemed hard to navigate on a cellphone screen. So i quit while was ahead. One less competitor i guess.

Be sure to let us know what Ritch said about the sweat when it comes back since it had to be a special hat.

From @Miamibruno, three new hats.
First, Dobbs Rainbow. I have been looking for this one for a while.
I had to make a collage to post the pics, because the original images were too heavy.

Second from miamibruno.
Mallory The Dallas. Been looking for this one as well. I couldn't have bought it before I met Ignacio Reyes, my hatter, because it is a 7 1/8, but with him my range has expanded to both sides of 7 1/4.

Third hat from miamibruno.
This one I didn't even know existed. Adrián says La Salle turned into Champ. Well, here is a La Salle.
Again, collage.

Send it to my brother in law Juan Carlos in Texas, Bowen. Ignacio might be able to fix it. Juan Carlos will be coming over soon. When he comes here again, I will ask him to mail it to you. Or you could just send it to Art, of course.

Thanks Max:
I was just gonna send it to Nick Fouquet for $4000! Lol
The felt is paper thin and the band is...not sure what. I’ll just keep it as a reminder to think before you do!!

Found this on LaSalle and Champ hats:
Champ Hats

The History of Champ Hats

Champ Hats was a brand of the LaSalle Hat Company of Sunbury, PA, and was distributed nationally from at least the 1930s.

Considered a budget to mid-quality brand, Champ made a really nice quality hat, and they had a lot of style! Champ hats sold for about $7.50 in the 1940s and 50s, on par with the products of Adam and Lee, while Knox, Mallory and Stetson started in the $10 range.

In the 1950s Champ used celebrities in advertising, such as Guy Williams. They also sponsored fights and had radio ads with Walter Winchell. In the 1956 the Hat Corporation of America acquired Champ, and added the brand to its collection of labels.

Got my wide-brimmed Cavanagh!
Again, I have to post a collage pic, because the ones I got from the seller's email are too heavy.

Three great new hats Max. I think that La Salle is my favorite, because of the rarity.

Now this looks like an older one. The address, though hard to see, is not just "New York" on the liner logo. Can't wait to see this one in detail. It should be something really special.
