Congrats, Bob -- gorgeous and unique Borso.

That one will be coming to me. Higher price than I had hoped for, but a super nice and unique Borso. I'll be looking forward to seeing it on its new perch.

Congrats. Worth every penny.

That Borso looks beautiful, pristine.

I went in for $225 for this 100, case, and another great hat, but was outbid.

BobC - what a beautiful hat! I was thinking about bidding until it went up to $330, then it went over $400!! Too rich for my blood but I'm glad a Lounger won the prize.

OK, I bought a Royal Stetson De Luxe because… well, I guess just because the colors really appealed to me. It's a bluish gray body with a crimson ribbon and brim binding.

Anyway, I had to have a new sweatband put in it. And the thing was very, very dirty.

Once I got it back, I tried that interesting crease we saw a few months ago. The brim is curled like a homburg. I don't know, but I think it is an interesting piece.

Here is what it looked like when it came in…

Here is what I did to her...

Almost looks a Chicago hook...

Yeah, that is sort of what I was going for. I couldn't remember the name of the crease. Anyway, it is sort of interesting. I think I'll keep it for a while.

I kept wanting to call it a "bread loaf" crease! Ha ha.

Half the quality for a third of the price...

 

[Lefty]

Who buys just one hat? The 100 was a threefer.

 

[M_Jones]

But who in the world would drop $90 for a Throughbred? Is the market really that good? I doubt it...

I was one of the ones asking for a BIN on the 100. Apparently 3 people asking the same thing within a few hours of auction start kind of tips off a seller.

It will be fun to see what that lot looks like... hopefully a good deal was had.

 

[Lefty]

I didn't say they were 3 equal parts.

I offered a BIN of 200, and she said that I was the only one to offer an amount, but that it was enough to keep her from taking the offer.
So, who's the third, failed, partner in crime?

 

[alanfgag]

Seems the large head rules on ebay this week. All the good stuff is outta my range. Probably a good thing.

 

[Rodkins]

I didn't ask for a BIN but I did bid. I'm a little nervous to see what kind of shape these show up in.

Just won my first ever Stetson. Only question I have is I am going to wear this as a pork pie because of the short brim. Would you guys keep the top as a center dent or try and change it up?
