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

like it much better. Maybe I will let someone take on the crown at the Mid-South Gathering!

Looks great!

Is it very stiff?
I am sure I would love to tackel it!!!

I like it how it is... it suits you!

 

[portolan]

I like it a lot this way too. I have so many westerns

that I am very comfortable with a western crown. Besides, Mike is going to have a beaver silverbelly fedora/adventurer waiting for me in Tennessee. This will provide a bit of a contrast to that one. Besides, my wife likes it like it is, so that counts for a lot!

Got a notice from PayPal that I am getting a full refund. That only makes me out shipping charges back to this knob-head. Sorry if I bothered any fellow Loungers with this saga but was very theraputic on my end. Now I have funds for another lid!!!...

On the contrary......I almost bid on the re-listing, but stayed my hand....er...mouse-finger....after reading your post. Thanks for the info.

This is most likely a Stetson Weekender in Zephyr weight. Went for $10.50 plus shipping. Nice size too.

 

[Lefty]

I believe that Stetson had a model called the Zephyr in the 60s - it wasn't just an old weight designation. That pin suggests that this might be the model, rather than the weight.

 

[GoneSolo]

That pin

Didn't even see it. The ribbon looked similar enough so I figured it might be. Oh well[huh]

 

[Dinerman]

I'd be willing to bet that Zephyr's newer than the '60s.

The Stetson pin on the bow is a give away...

This fuzzy 7 1/2 grey beaver Biltmore homburg just went for $32.95.

I just won this on ebay. I wanted the Mallory double box and will probably resell the Fedora after cleaning it up.

Congratulations, I was watching that too as I wanted the double box. The hat would fit too...

Let us know how the cleaning goes!

 

[MattJH]

Okay, who got the freshly-ended 7 5/8 boater for $54 that I'm assuming a ton of people were following?

 

[Lefty]

That looks new too, but, if you're looking for a new one it is cheaper.

Champ with a crazy liner

I'd bet you are right. I had a Stetson Zephyr (Zephyr being the model name) back in the 80s and from what I can see it looks very similar.

Where were all the big heads?

It is difficult to hear the rending of garments & gnashing of teeth regarding the lack of lids for fat heads & then watch a beaut like this go for not much more than it did new! It was all I could do not to snap it up & shrink it down to my size.

So did I, but didn't set my sniper high enough!

Congrats on your win!

I thought about bidding on it, but then I saw the pin and remembered that I already have a Stetson Zephyr around here somewhere. It's a light brown, if I recall correctly. It came with a puggaree that turned out to be hiding a more traditional ribbon like the one on the subject hat.

Cheers,
Tom
