    OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I have always just worn 'em without regard. I live in the South where mildew & mold make up the vast majority of the biomass! We laugh at Aspergillus! Bwahahahaha! Although I read (from the Art Collectors POV) that sometimes what looks like foxing (Ferric OXide) or mildew not always is...

    I know what you mean. I can go 3" down to 2 3/8"... shorter than that & it's into the 'bay.

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

    Not at all, IMO, tho' there are some here who will adamantly disagree. I too wear a 7 3/8, but if I see a 7 1/4 that looks good- no worries- I prep the hat, including treating the sweat w/ both lexol & "shoe stretch" leather stretcher, meant to loosen up the leather for stretching. I slap it on...

    Demon Hanover by Hoyt Hats.

    I will have to search for such a tag on mine. Do not recall if I have ever lifted the sweat, stay tuned.

    Demon Hanover by Hoyt Hats.

    I keep a standing search for the keywords "Demon Hanover" but have turned up almost exclusively 4o yr. old press photos. I would love to find another color or weight hat or a tie. I've seen naught in the past eight years but for a very few hats. PS~ here is one that got by me recently. ALSO...

    Demon Hanover by Hoyt Hats.

    The demon! I got this one some years back on th' 'bay. A real favorite of mine. Other than your hat I think I have only seen one or two- at the most- up for sale. I think them to be somewhat of a rare bird.

    Demon Hanover by Hoyt Hats.

    It is one of the rarest, hard to find, lids I have ever found. As seen above the box alone went for $550. The Hambletonian Society itself, so far as I know, owns a box, but not a hat. I have NEVER seen a tie. The hat itself is no great shakes. Nice enough, comparable to an Adam...

    Golden Era "sartorial god" Douglas Fairbanks Jr.'s hats up for sale

    How sad. I remember hearing of that auction, here in the provinces. Still & all, if these turn for less than 1,000 USD I will eat my hat! As I recall Sr. had quite a grapefruit atop his shoulders. Curious to see what Jr. measured. [huh]

    Golden Era "sartorial god" Douglas Fairbanks Jr.'s hats up for sale

    Agreed. I would guess somewhere in the neighborhood of two to three grand, given the provenance. Now if they were Sr.'s hats... whole 'nother ballgame. Anyone else care to prognosticate a final price? Not including the 20% "buyer's fee" the house will collect.
