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

How good is that. I was going to say Knox, but the reveal beat me to it. It is a stunner, Joe.

Winner winner!! Haha. Thanks Stefan.

Very nice, Max. Adrian knows how to find them and is very reasonable with his prices. What keeps me from buying from him is that all his size 7 hats seem to fit 7 1/8, at least that is what he usually states.

@steur

Stefan, if you are ever looking for a particular hat, let me know. I wear a 7 1/8th so often I will take a 7 and fit it to my head. I have many size 7 hats that are still size 7.

I thought that would be the reason, Adrian. Almost all the American size 7 hats I've seen are true to size, so that was the only likely explanation. I'll have to think about what hat(s) I'm still looking for and PM you if I think of something. Thanks.

An interesting find:

shipping from Canada so it might be a while.

Yes! I have been staring at it for two weeks, and gave in last night. They have some beautiful hats in CityVintage, but they ain't cheap

I saw that hat on Etsy and lusted after it...and I’m not even much of a Panama fan.

Stunning dark blue Kimball with an unusual sweatband attachment. I've seen a lot of hats and can't say I've seen this construction.

This hat has been haunting my dreams. I’m glad you removed the temptation Max.

My guess would be 3-4 weeks...at least that is what it is taking US to Canada these days.

That is something! Beautiful blue color but that’s a unique sweat. With no visible stitches on the edge of the leather, it would have to be a finely skived edge to roll it over after stitching it to the reed and have it lay so flat and smooth. I bet it’s comfortable.

Gracias, Adrián! That one was worthy of being one of yours!
