    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Running up the Price!! I was in the hunt driving the prices up on Sam & Jack's wins. But not much since I'm broke (wife pays the bills & paid for my birthday hat). The only consolation I get with ebay is "making someone pay more" since I usually don't win. But it's OK when another Lounger...

    Hat questions and a possible challenge...

    "Californio Hat" (Bolero-ish) Here's a few photos of the hat from Village Hat Shop that is 13+ years old. It is similar to a Bolero type with a rolled edge. I've been informed that it was made by the Langenberg Hat Co. especially for Village Hat Shop. I was going to sell it...

    Hills Hats Ltd.

    Treister No experience with Hill's Hats, but since New Zealand came up, I found I have a Western Hat that is marked "Westminster by Treister" in the crown and a made in New Zealand tag on the sweatband. Don't know when or where I acquired it, but it's a short crown wool hat reminding me of...

    Vintage Stetson - The Sovereign?

    Quality and Finish - Modern Stetson I've been stumbling around a few websites and find references to "Sovereign Quality Finish", "Imperial Quality Suede Deluxe Finish", and other catagories of finish such as "Royal" and "Deluxe". These are usually 100% FUR Felt hats. This makes me think the...

    GQ Guide to Buying a Hat

    Dry Cleaners I have an Open Road clone being cleaned and reworked at this time. The person doing the work has someone in the dry cleaning business do the actual cleaning of the hat, after she takes the hat apart. Isn't naptha something used in the past with dry cleaners? Ralph

    Panama Hats direct?

    Finer Weave Hotter? This is something I've been thinking about recently. I've heard of weaves so tight as to hold water and figured they would be hotter on the head. Is this the general consensus on wearing comfort? All of my Panamas (3 from PB) are in the low count weave wise (100-125 or...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Not Sniped I'll confess, I won this hat. A little bit of a bidding war, but at least it wasn't sniped as so many of the hats I've been trying to get. I've been trying to get a few hats with bound brims over 2 1/2 inches. I stumbled across this by wading through the various hat...

    Campdraft Size 61

    Sizing I'm interested to know how the sizing is going on the current Akubra hats. So far I have 3 used (not by much) hats and all size 61 which fit my 7 1/2 (60) size head just fine. I'd like to order the right size the first time if possible. Ralph

    New hat.

    It Ain't Over til It's Over!!! High bid means nothing with one day to go. Many things can happen before the auction ends. Even then having the high bid is no guarantee. I recently won a hat, paid immediately only to get refunded a bit later. Emailing the seller twice to ask what...

    Hat Jacks for $6.49

    Sizing These hat jacks will fit a 7 1/2 size hat. I unscrewed one of them and it went to just over 10 inches (end to end) before it came unthreaded. Fully collapsed it fits a 6 7/8 that I have with a little room to spare. The wood even has a bit of taper built in. I use them regularly...

    Hat Jacks for $6.49

    Coupons Online I signed up for their online coupons. A few months ago they had a coupon for the hat stretcher at $3.99 and I picked up 6 of them so I can keep them in my hats that want to shrink back down. Still not a bad price at $6.49 though. Ralph
