OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Thanks Joe. Don’t you have this same hat? I wasn’t able to find out much about it but it seems high quality with a bit of age. -
OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Unmatched pair but both are nice nonetheless. Now I need to find a Disney hat ;-). -
J. Robert Oppenheimer Fedora
It seems timely to bash a Gus into an Oppenheimer. My interpretation is a pork pie with a slightly pinched front. A bit of a challenge to get 7” of crown down to 4 1/4”. Looking forward the movie! Bill -
Hat Stretchers
Thank you for the detailed and educational reply! You wear those hats well and I tip my hat to you that you have made them comfortable with your custom hat stretcher. In the discussion here I certainly have gained a greater appreciation of the difficulties a hatter faces in making a hat that... -
Hat Stretchers
Wonderful job! I’m curious, was it necessary/difficult to fix up brim distortion when stretching your off-the-shelf hat to your head shape? Bill -

Looks like a 3X Beaver Resistol with a Rand’s sweatband to me. The inside label looks the same as a 3X Resistol that I recently listed. Bill -

Partial victory here for this Resistol BR Western Natural Beaver “80”. The good: the felt is excellent quality and in good condition with minor stains that should clean up. Also, the hat fits me well. The bad: the snakeskin hatband was partially glued down and there is some glue residue on... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
It kind of reminds me of this cork lined hat: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/other-than-ebay-hats-victories-defeats-gripes-items-of-interest.54417/post-2950808 There was some speculation that it could be a riding hat. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I wonder if this could be a riding hat/helmet and the straw provides some structure to hold some padding against the felt? -
Akubra Overload
Congrats on the hat! I wonder if you should at least try it on to make sure it fits? Doesn’t the Hattery have a 30 day exchange/return window? ;-) -

Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons
Here is a side-by-side that compares a 3X Beaver and a 4X Beaver for a 60s/70s Stetson Revenger. All variables (e.g., model, vintage, color, size, and condition) are the same — the only apparent difference is the X designation. See the attached photos for a visual comparison but in summary the... -

What hat are you waiting for today?
Played some hat roulette over the weekend. Picked up this bundle from a seller with 0 sales, poor photos with no inside shots, and vague descriptions. What could go wrong? :-o Bill
