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

    Funny but today I got a package that had the corn starch "peanuts". A mild but distinct corn smell. Checked and they do dissolve on the tounge. I am SOOO tempted to try and dip some in chocolate lol

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    The new-to-me Knox 15 made a pretty decent turn around yesterdy. Its making the morning coffee shop run with me today. After blocking and some brim flange work, The brim is behaving, and the crown convinced me that its happiest with a center dent on top and more of a side dent rather than a...

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

    While I was digging in the two new hats, went ahead and pulled the liner and sweatband bow off this mornings Adam Premier Pacesetter. Got a good woolite bath and did some wrinkle removal. Looks and smells a lot better. Got the leather treated with Pecards while the liner was soaking. Sewed the...

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

    Already thrilled with the new $24 Knox. I had the perfect hat block in the shelf and already have the crown reblocked and almost all the wrinkles out. This one should turn out nice. Older soft felt is so much easier to work with than some of the new harder stuff! Older "10" and "15 hats are...

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

    Todays box number three is nothing dramatic, but looks almost new. I always keep the eye out for nice looking hats for bad weather so I dont get spots on a nicer hat. A nice dark sage-ish green, raw edge Beaver Brand 5x. really soft felt and its in really nice shape. Feels really similar to...

    Todays box number two was a project hat anyway so I wasnt too dissappointed lol. Another stellar ebay packaging job. At least there were NO packing peanuts!. Its a cute little light Grey Knox 15. Really soft felt 5-1/2" crown with 2-1/2" brim. Looks like it was prob a center dent...

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

    Received THREE ebay boxes today ( thats even better than a Two dbox day lol!) This one didnt have a hat, but a brim flange in an in-between size I didnt have. I have almost identical flanges in 2", 2-1/4", 3", and 3-1/2" brims. This one is a 2-5/8" brim in a 7-1/2" hat size ( leaves enough...

    Overcast, grey sky, and getting ready to rain.. Lets continue the grey theme and rock a grey Adam Premier Pacesetter this morning.

    Sitting here in the shade under a nice straw, with a big Bloody Mary, and a big ol' Romeo Y Julettita Toro. 94 degrees and 90% humidity. Just waiting for the afternoon thunderstorm to fire up. Life is good!

    Just looked at the wall... and my memory must be slipping... My other Stylemaster is Carbon Grey... not black. Heres a side by side with that Stylemaster and the black Bogart. To me they are basically the same hat with a different bash

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Nice hat! I love my Stylemasters.They are super hats. One has a bit lighter ribbon and binding than yours, and the other is a nice basic Black. I love the C bash in the tops, but I will have to admit that I also have a Black Bogart, just so I can bounce between center dent and c- bash without...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Looks like a mixed bag of hot sun and scattered thunderstorms predicted today ( and the rest of the week). Figured I pull out one of the Akubras in case the rain catches me somewhere. Thinking the Lightning Ridge gets the call today. As with some of my other Akubras, This ones had a little bit...
