It's 5 AM here in Italy... I had to wake up 15 minutes ago... Hope it's worth...

I'll now go back to sleep...

Good one!

So, you're the one who won that one, Diego! I was watching it, but didn't bid. It sure is a beauty. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Enjoy!
Tom

 

[dzacca]

Yes, that's me!

It looks good to me. One of the little 7 3/8 vintage on eBay that are not a mess, at least as far I cal see from the photos...

 

[rabbit1361]

I think you did good.

 

[DOUGLAS]

You are going to enjoy the 3X line.

Good looking hat.....Looking forward to seening some pictures once it arrives!!

I have a Stetson 3X with the mode edge and same
brim width. It's one of my favorite hats. You're
going to like this one.

 

[DOUGLAS]

I have said it before the 3X line is my favorite Stetson weight. For me it is the most versatile.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yes, those 3X Stetson Fifteens are great, great hats. Mine isn't mode edge, but wonderful felt.

You did well Diego. I have yet to be disappointed with any of my Vintage Stetsons. That vintage Stetson far surpasses the workmanship of this sterling mess (see photo), that I am sure sold for considerably more. I bet the mode edge on yours is uniform in width with evenly spaced stitching. Compared to the brim binding of this high dollar imitation that looks just awful. It is hard to imagine anyone would put their name on such a slap happy mess.

I'm sure you'll be quite happy with it.:eusa_clap

Cheers!

That hat is wavy gravey for sure. Looks like a raw body with a ribbon. They need to talk to Art Fawcett about how to pounce a hat and do a bound edge.

Ok.. here we go... again...

I've been stupid enough to change my email in the board, obviously using a gmail account... :eusa_doh: so the board automatically deleted my old account...

Well... what is done is done... [huh]

By the way, I'm almost sure that the 3X will be heavily smelling, it seems to have been stocked for many years, any suggestion for getting rid of the smell?

 

[dzacca]

The hat arrived yesterday, unfortunately I'm not at home (I'm on holiday) and I'll only be able to look at the hat on 8th or 9th September.

 

[dzacca]

Finally back from holidays...

Well.. the good news is that the hat is PERFECT!!!
No stains or mots, it's almost clean, perfect size, it just needs a minor cleaning.

I'll be quite busy during the next few days (I've got two work interviews in London and Oxford on Wednesday and Thursday). I'll post a few pics as soon as possible, but I'll surely wear this one with my new pinstriped suits when in London.

Here's the first shots

Ok, these shots are taken with my mobile phone's camera, so forgive me the quality...

 

[DOUGLAS]

Perfect!!

dzacca, It looks like that prediction that you would not be disappointed has come true. I know i'd be pleased! Looking good. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Tango Yankee]

Looks great, Diego! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

And good luck on the job interviews!

Cheers,
Tom

Yes, absolutely NOT disappointed

This hat is marvelous! Extremely soft, so lightweight that you can hardly feel it on you head, keeps the shape with no problem... This one will definitely come with me to London tomorrow
