Being one who borders on 'fatheadedness,' I am rather envious that so many great hats are available in smaller 'normal' sizes. Beautiful hat, Alan.
Ok this one I think looks ready for the town. Opinions would be appreciated
Thanks a ton! I was pretty happy with the hat especially since I have read bad things about Scala but for the price and my wants it is quite a nice hat!I think you chose wisely. That looks fantastic on you Teach!:eusa_clap
Cheers!
Dan
OK, Alan -- you're killin' me with that post! Holy Smoke -- that Knox is absolutely stunning! Superb condition, and colors to die for. Congrats!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap The stretcher is amazing, as well. Very cool. Looks like you hit the Daily Double...
That is an amazing hat Alan. Just out of curiosity, how much approximately does one pay for a lid of that caliber on the bay? I want to know if I'm getting okay prices on my purchases..
Fab Knox Twenty, Alan. Glad you landed it. I was seriously tempted to bid on the hat though it is four sizes too small for me!
Thanks Alan. I'm new to fedoras AND ebay, but I'm learning more every day thanks to you gents.Alex, the numbers are all over the place. Copywriting, photo quality, hotness of the brand/style and the day of the week and a thousand other things will leave two similar items (take a Stetson 25 Open Road) selling for a hundred dollars or five hundred. The more time you spend on ebay, the better handle you will get on these things. Just be careful - the tuition can be costly! This hat had twenty bids - the winning bid was $113 plus shipping. I also bought a fabulous navy homburg the same day from the same seller - a style less in demand, it drew three bids and went for $39.00.
hope that helps.
I'm about ready to take my foot off the gas for a while and wear what I have. (hmmm... I wonder if that's been said before.)
I won't keep a hat that won't fit me, knowing that someone else could wear it and enjoy it.
