Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I had to come back to this one since I missed it before. CONGRATS, dj!! Even IF that hat had sold for twice the amount it would have put the figure in line with modern Stetson fur felt fedoras, which cannot compare in quality and style to the vintage Playboy.

'Twas a recent Ebay auction. (Might not be from Mexico, but I did get it cheap! ;) ) It's obviously coated in something which provides the 'waterproofing'.

Who takes your pictures?
