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

    There's one on eBay right now that's very similar. I'm keeping to the old ways, so I won't link to it. ;) But I did link to it in a moment of weakness in the Boater Faction thread.:eek:

    Major Moored Carbon Grey Fed IV size 63

    I like it a lot, but it's a size too large for me.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    That was taken with an iPhone camera app called Hipstamatic that mimics the look of old point-and-click cameras.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Actually, it might be the same damn hat. I mean, not the hat, but the same or a similar model. Look at the detail on this big photo and you can see the stripes on the pug.

    I dunno, but I love it. It looks like something Sinatra would wear.

    Boater faction!

    I'll stay off-topic for one more post and say that I agree with buler (although I never really disagreed), and that I plan on refraining from posting any live auctions, out of respect for my fellow Loungers. It's the right thing to do.

    Boater faction!

    I saw a photo from the '20's of Jimmie Rodgers wearing a boater, white shirt tucked in, a squared-off tie like that, and blue jeans with a huge long watch chain that went all the way from one pocket to the other and hung down to his crotch. He looked cool as all hell. I'll have to see if I can...

    Boater faction!

    My rationale for not posting them is purely a selfish instinct; if I like something and want to bid on it, no way in hell am I posting it until it's over, because I want the herd as thin as possible. If it's something that I couldn't use but that other people might be interested in (like a size...

    (sorry if I offended anyone who collects fuzzy multi-colored homburgs, I guess we all are entitled to our own "flair") None taken. You cool, baby.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Vtg-1920s-Kaufman-Panama-Boater-Skimmer-Straw-Hat-7-EXC-/150450836106 Nice. If it weren't so small I'd be all over it like white on rice.

    Aw, man, the ribbon's all frayed. Oh, well. ;) Nice find! I never find any hats that cool at antique malls.

    The Open Road Guild

    I probably had an easier time because mine had uncommonly nice felt that was very malleable. I almost didn't need to use steam or water. I recently got a late 40's/early 50's Open Road that's currently being cleaned and blocked, and the felt on it doesn't compare to that Park Crest. There I...

    Panama Hat Help, Please...

    Kiltie, your PB looks much the same as mine, although I added a pleated puggaree, which I think improves it. It's a fine hat.

    I'm pretty sure about the Fischer part, but the word under it I can't make out for the life of me.

    I can make out "Fischer".

    Kindness was intended, at least towards your workmanship, which looks great. I thought about him possibly being a hunter, and my other theory was that he's a Clemson or Tennessee fan.

    Wow. That's effed up. Is your friend a road crew worker by any chance? You did a great job, but that color...that's just wrong.
