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

    Sweet find. I found a cheapy at a yard sale once but it was nothing like yours. That's very cool and will be a fantastic summer hat.

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

    And yes I'm going out in the cold and not just sitting here in all of my winter garb.

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

    Love the setup. Neat vtg colors. Nice recognizable brand and style. Glad you got what you hoped for for so long. As I sit here in my long, cashmere blend winter coat, booted and hatted in western fashion, I wish I was wearing my old, cobalt blue Royal Stetson. I gifted it to a young man who was...

    Purely academic, JJ. Thank you for the extra details. That's a real peach of a hat. Wish there were more listings like this on the bay.

    Vintage Resistol 10x sz7 ebay link

    I'd think that lid would easily match a '50s Era OR or Royal in quality depending on how stiff or flxi the brim is; you are saying 'Cowboy Hat'. Is it a snap brim?? Gotta love a vtg Resistol at any rate.

    Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns

    That could have been in a time capsule. Just fabulous condition and looks good on the noggin shot. I'm jealous of westerns like that. Modern ones I've handled lately are so far from the old nearly crushable felf that I have handled in my old no-name western. Just love seeing a gem like that...

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

    I'm showing this old pic because it is virtually all I have left of my white whale of a hat. I found it in a Stetson box in an antique store in Colorado back about 8 years ago or so. I don't have to tell many of you what it's like to be a hat lover, come hat buyer, turned collector, who then...

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

    I made a HUGE MISTAKE. I let my '50s Stetson Open Road Twenty Five slip away. I traded it for a painting which I moderately liked, but didn't love. Apparently it's worth a lot of chicken feed according to this ebay listing: Stetson Fedora Hat Open Road Twenty Five 7 3/8 Rare with Box 50s...

    Question about hat style.

    Just chiming in on an older conversation.

    Question about hat style.

    The Open Road's versatility was a selling point. "East or West"

    Stetson's 150th Anniversary Celebration

    Haha. I was going for a cool, old west stare type of face but you obviously saw right through that. Neat wedding/snow pics you had. Our winter has been lacking the usual snowfall but it's all good as long as we get some good rain.

    Stetson's 150th Anniversary Celebration

    All this talk of Boss Raw Edge got me thinking I may own one and didn't even know it. It had tiny sweat stitches (which have been removed and replaced w/a sweatband but the hat could still use a clean and block and a ribbon too.

    Western, anyone?

    Thanks everyone for all the well wishes. Jeff, very cool pics. Wear that one anywhere. Joao, make sure you make plenty of occasions to wear it. If not, it's just a piece of a collection.

    Western, anyone?

    I probably won't be posting any pics of her but,..........we just had a baby girl! She is healthy and cute as well. Maybe she'll put her own pics up someday if she's a hat wearer.

    Western, anyone?

    Haha, just realized my shirts says, mad hatter.

    Western, anyone?

    Nice one Renault. You could be from a different time. I'm on and off the lounge in cycles and I remembered that I had a very old, no-name western which I haven't shown yet. It had some scattered remnants of a sweatband with very tiny stitches, a dark ring where the medium ribbon used to be, and...

    Will likely take this Royal Stetson De Luxe Vogue home to restore some day in the near future.

    2015 Stetson Excellent Quality GREEN THIN RIBBON (Preview & Review)

    Looks really great. I probably would purchase this hat, rather than a blue grass Akubra, because of your description and pics. Thanks for the thorough sneak peak and it looks good on the noggin shot too.

    Need hat advice

    "... if you're a noob, you may want to get your feet wet with a couple of readymade hats first." Now that is some advice you should take before dropping $300 plus, Konadog. I had a hat made because I was impatient and now looking back, I was not at all educated enough to tell someone to make me...
