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

[Jeremy T Garner]

Looks to be late 1950s at first glance. Some would say "stingy". I like it, not afraid of a 2" brim.

Im not sure how it will look on me but I will watch the auction close and if it stays low I might snipe it just for fun. It also bears some cool connection to my local hometown city of Spokane as it's from the old Crescent Men's Store in downtown Spokane.

Found this one as well that is close to my size. Was wondering if it's worth picking up? Knox Twenty New York Custom Edge in brown. Here is the link

You're going to be inviting other F Loungers to bid against you... you might hold off on sharing your links to hats you are interested in. That one says Custom Edge on the sweat, but I don't think it looks like a Cavanagh Edge from the pics... but it's hard to tell. But heck, a Knox 20 is a nice hat.

Yeah I didn't really think about that until about an hour after I posted it lol! Oh well, if one of the fellow Lounge brothers snags it at least it will find a good and appreciative home.

Seasonal acquisition



From etsy... never heard of the brand, looks like a nice tight Monti weave though. Lotsa' Summer in store yet.

Sweet!

May be a score, may be a flop.

Jeremy,
Personally, I'd wait and look to find a Knox Forty....I was lucky to find and buy two of them over the last two years and also a Dobbs Forty. Light years better in my humble opinion. All three sellers were asking just a little more ($40, $50, $65). Wait and find better, or get the Twenty and upgrade later.

I decided to pass on it. It was cool because it came from a now defunct local men's store from Spokane a local town I grew up in. However the brim was a bit stingier than I prefer and just couldn't seem to muster up the bid. Thank you for the tips on the Forty quality. I think I will follow your advice and be patient for those.

you won't see a Forty pop up very often at all ... and quite honestly you may never see one pop up in your size ... but you never know and that's what makes the chase exciting

I own a Knox Forty and it has some of the most beautiful felt I've handled ... it is by no means a lightweight hat ... but gorgeous none the less

see the felt here

Okay. I just purchased my first hat off of the Bay. I am hoping it will be a success. It is a Tawny Stetson Temple. I own one in Caribou already and I really like it. I will chime in as soon as I inspect it on arrival hopefully next week. I have been eyeballing this tawny for a while but they are getting hard to find in my size. That and I couldn't pass up on the price!

That is an oldie! Do you think it can be brought back to life.

Can't wait to see it after you've had a go at it. Looks like a winner.
