What hat are you waiting for today?

[Blare]

All hats are crushable aren't they?
Very nice, Bob.

Even a bowler is crushable. It’s more what happens afterwards I suppose

I usually have pretty good luck with a $13 final bid, but this one never got that high.

I gotta learn how to bid on stuff like you pros, seems like I only find expensive stuff.

Is this one your size?

Is this one your size?

They hardly ever are. This one is most likely a 7-1/8 (based on the damaged Panama that was at the same sale). I'll share more pics and verify the size when it is in hand. It will go back out the door to fund other hats.

I’m glad you got it, Joe! I was watching it for for a while and kept coming back to it. Good find.

Thank you Brent. Did not expect to win it at the bid I threw in. It does appear a bit moth chewed on the underside of the brim. But looks like a fairly unique hat from an unusual maker. Excited to check it out.

I'm excited to see the rest of it too!

Thanks Brent (@deadlyhandsome ) for allowing me to step up on this one.

Can we see it?

Hi Steve, Hi Rmccamey...
I apologize for the delay.
Bought this new as my first proper hat, now a few years back.
Is branded as Rassow Bombetta ( is labeled and on sweatband as being rabbit, made in Italy ).
I have to start wearing it....

Thanks for sharing, no apologies necessary.

I can see wool or fur in any other hat type, but Bowlers always have me guessing. I'd have sworn yours was wool.

Wear it when you can. Hope it won't be your first and only Bowler. Like most hats, they're pretty addictive

Thanks Steve, this bowler isn't anything special but it's my starter bowler.
I thought it was Marino wool back when I bought it for some reason.
It is labelled more than once as rabbit.....who knows since it has been in it's box on a shelf for awhile now,
and not sure I could tell the difference either.
You are right, I have to start wearing it/ put it into the rotation.

"Starter bowler". I like that. Now I need to find one for myself.

Be careful though. Once you start, it's hard to stop.

You'd rock a bowler, Al.

 

[Rmccamey]

Yes, a great way to start!
