Looks like a nice one, Max. The "mink" designation is interesting.

I'd call this a defeat: I forgot to bid and it went cheap. That hurts! A Stack hat no less. It was on auction before and the sweatband was replaced, but still.

Just won this Borsalino. It looks pristine. Seller says it's a soft-crowned "bowler".
I think it was a good deal for $116.

Looks great! Do you think it’s an open crown homburg?

Your secret service is safe with me.
You might like it as a homburg?

Yes, of course! This thing is NOS, apparently.

I’m not holding my breath that the seller got the size right. The seller also stated it was from the 1980’s, but I think he got that part wrong.

I had this one on my watch list, too. Having seen way too many hats listed as "size 7-3/4" because they were 7-3/4" on the long axis, I wrote this seller (twice, actually) to see if there was a visible size tag on the sweatband, or tag behind the label, or if he could give me any measurements. I never got any reply, so I passed. I sure hope it turns out to be as advertised for you!

It seems we have similar experiences. If the hat turns out to be another size I’ll return it for a refund; I’ll be inconvenienced but not out any money. The one thing that gave me some hope was that the brim to head opening ratio looked promising.

I don't own many Fedoras so I took a shot on the Stetson 3X. I thought it was a good price @ $50.00

I missed a name I didn't know, but hat I wanted yesterday. I knew the auction closed at 2:45 but didn't think about it til 3:00.
It was a nice looking blue Kensington trimmed in tan. It sold for 21.50 and I planned to max bid $30 in the final minutes. I'm trying to control myself on aquisitions, but did want that one.

Ahh, so a Lounger did get it. I saw it and put it on the watch list because I had to put my boy to bed. Came back half hour later and it was gone, which didn't really surprise me. Congrats!

Thanks, I was quick on the draw for that one.
