A crapshoot-$20 to play.

[Pilgrim]

I couldn't resist taking a run at this gray Stetson. It looks like a mess, but not a mess with holes in it. This may turn out to be a complete waste of $20, but I decided to roll the dice.

The price wasn't bad - $20 including shipping.

How could you go wrong at that price? Art could breathe life back into it, and you'd have a vintage looker for $20 plus a cleaning. I say two thumbs up. I'd actually say three, but the math doesn't quite work out. In any event, good show. :eusa_clap

Well worth the gamble. I'd get that head shmutz liner cleaned...

Sometimes ya just gotta say, what the heck.

Here's proof positive that ugly ducklings can become swans.

That thread of Lorne's is one of those which convinced me it was worth a try.

Same here, I'll give it a shot. Nothing to lose and a fine resurrected hat to gain.

NICE BUY! And hey....if worse comes to worse...there is something VERY enjoyable about a hat that you can paint in, do yard work in, toss it in the car...all with no worries. I have a Shuttle Bros nearly the same color that I abuse regularly and it just keeps tickin. Last hard abuse was stuccoing a house in it...lots of cement on it by the end of the day...smacked it on my thigh to get off the worst and moved on down the road. What a hat! So...whatever happens...good job!

Even if you use it as a "beater" you'd be ahead of things. Shows there's still lots of baragins out there.

Nice

Nice find! You'll have to send us post-resurrection pics.

Was up in Estes Park Thursday. Very cool, cloudy and breezy. Got to have a drink at the Wheel Bar. Haven't been there in 30 years when I came up here to try, and I emphasize try, a winter ascent of Long's Peak. Found a hatter there - Colorado Hats. Saw a real nice light silver belly with a contrasting medium gray hatband and brim edging. Too bad I couldn't swing it. Very, very nice felt. Very nice quality. I invited the owner to drop by the Lounge.

Remember to send the post pictures.

Bold. I passed on that one because I have been nailed with moth holes too many times. If that baby is moth-divot free, however, then you got a helluva deal! Let me know when you receive it. BTW, I am betting on a "Pilgrim" right now. What do you know about them?
