JT - those hats you bought at BCF are great, I especially like the gray one. This past weekend, I went to the BCF in York, PA - about 45 minutes from my house. They had a few fur felt fedoras in black, a few woolies, and that was about it. Of course, all the sizes were too small for my head...
Unfortunately, I made only a few dollars. I charged $10 for shipping USPS Priority Mail, and when I went to the post office, since it was being shipped to Colorado and I live in Pennsylvania - they charged me $21.50 to ship it. If I would have known that, I would have shipped UPS instead, but...
I guess it is time for me to fess up:
I was hoping no one would see my Ebay posting...but it was caught.
No offense to the other Adventurer Alliance members, but the more I looked at the hat and my wife was not thrilled with it, I decided that I should give someone else the opportunity to...
I am sure it is fur felt. The hat is certainly the softest felt I have ever touched. The auction ends later today, so if you are interested, time is of the essence!
I had purchased a vintage black Champs fedora on Ebay recently. The size is much too small for me (the measurements on the listing were not quite exact). So, I have listed it on Ebay for someone else's good fortune in a size 7 1/4. The hat is in beautiful condition and will come with the...
I got the vintage Champ today and it is beautiful. However, the measurements on the ebay listing were not quite accurate and the hat is too small. What a bummer. The hat is actually a size 7 1/4. I have put the hat on ebay and will post a link in the classifieds section of the lounge. [huh]
I hope my fellow Adventurer owners don't mind me being so bold, but I think we settled on the name for our new thread for pictures and whatever else of our new Adventurers.
When I first got the hat out of the box, I was surprised with the color. It is much more a light tan/camel color than I...
I just won my first vintage hat on Ebay - It is a black Champ fedora, not sure of the specific model though. I love the wide ribbon and it even still has the original hat pin and box to boot. What a bargain price as well. Paid only 16.50 (won hat for 9.50 + 7.00 shipping). I will have to...
Colby Jack - I think I'm in the same boat as you. I placed an online order Tuesday, which was the 28th. When I login to check the order status, it shows as a new order yet. I checked my credit card online and it was charged on the 29th. I really hoped that it would arrive today, but...
I really hope my Adventurer arrives today. I ordered it on Tuesday, but did it online. I would hope for it to arrive quickly, especially since the physical store is in the neighboring county. We will all have to post pictures of us sporting our new Adventurers when we get them.
I had hoped to call before 5:00 when the store closes to order an Adventurer, but I got tied up at work and didn't have the chance. I did place an online order - I'm not sure if their online inventory is live or not, but we'll see. Even though this hat is just slightly outside my ideal...
That is quite an attractive price. I have been looking for a nice chocolate brown fedora. While this one looks great, I think the brim might be too wide for my taste. As a new fedora wearer, I have a Dobbs Dayton and two Stetson Saxons, which all have stingy brims. I noticed the physical...
Glad to see there are other accountants, like myself, on this forum. My first three hats just arrived at my house today. I bought 3 fedoras, including a gray Stetson, a brown Stetson, and a black Dobbs. The Dobbs is my favorite. I work for a mid-market regional CPA firm and our office is...
Thank you for the welcome and advise, Undertow.
Unfortunately, since I live in Pennsylvania, I cannot personally visit the Stetson outlet. However, I did call today and the process in now in the works. I spoke to a very nice gentleman, he did have a strong accent (perhaps middle-eastern?)...
Newbie here. I have recently taken an interest in beginning to collect/wear vintage and/or vintage-style hats. I am primarily interested in fedoras. When I was a young child, I would sometimes play "dress-up" at my grandparents house and I remember I had a gray Dobbs fedora (even had a...
