OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Yeah, the hunt is much of the fun, eh? Very little HERE in local shops (Tho' member "LovethatLulu" who has since gone away, has found some great deals locally) as this has never been a particularly prosperous area. But if you go up on the plateau, west, t'wixt here & Nashville, you can...- Rick Blaine

30's~40's Work Boots
Informative post! Bravo. This is why I keep coming here, despite the nitwits. I knew that kilties must have, at one time, had a raison d'etre. Many thanks for pushing back the frontiers of my ignorance, which are both wide & deep. The more you know the more you know you don't know, as is said. :p- Rick Blaine

fs: stetson hats
...but in answer to the OP it depends upon a number of factors; age, size, condition, model (e.g.- a Stratoliner or Whippet will command a premium price), as I suspect that eighties IJ Stetson would go for more than a comparable hat, despite the lack of a leather sweatband, because it is an IJ...- Rick Blaine

I have the same recently purchased jacket as Mr. Jones speaks of, above. I got a medium. Mind you-I am a spot on 40R off the rack-& I found the fit large. I ran it through a couple of hot wash & dry cycles in the laundry & it fits much better now. This was an exception in my experience. I...- Rick Blaine

30's~40's Work Boots
Fair enough. They just remind me too much of those high heel, lace up, goat-ropers (packer boots) that ya' see around here on the drugstore cowboys & wanna-bes. I am in the dark about their original purpose as well.- Rick Blaine

30's~40's Work Boots
Got these from ALDO a couple of months ago, they seem to be holding up well. Made in Italy. Dead ringers for Alden 405s at about 1/3 the cost, even at full price. But then I got these ALDO's, for nothing, -10%, free shipping et al. Made in Portugal. I removed the ridiculous kiltie...- Rick Blaine

WTT: NOS 7 1/4 Fedora from the late & lamented landmark *ARNOLD HATS of NYC*
The deal: NOWHERE on this hat is there a label that specifies fiber content. But I feel dead sure it is a fur felt, likely a Winchester body as it's marked "made in the USA". A Hatco product? If anyone has a 7 3/8 or 7 1/2 (or loose 7 1/4's) thin ribbon Strat/OR clone (felt or straw) in...- Rick Blaine
