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

[Bill Hughes]

It took me a while but I finally got this seller down from $300 to reasonable amount of $75. Just arrived today. I've been wanting a Peters Bros Hemp Indie hat. Now I'd like to find one in gray.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Peter-Bros...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Brim is 2 3/4" front/back and 2 1/2" sides.
Crown is 4 1/2" at the crease.
1 1/2" brown grosgrain ribbon.

I lost a couple of auctions this weekend to wishful thinking, so I made sure of this one today.
Seller says 40s or early 50s Resistol Beaver Forty.

If you set out to kill a king, it's best to succeed.

Very nice indeed. I was just at their store this weekend, but still don't have one of their hats.

Well that should make up for those others you list out on. Kitten fur felt is a favorite, I’ve been looking for a tabby if you come across one.

If you ever try to negotiate one of my hats I'll pretend I don't speak English.

(Why in the world does the app insist on an apostrophe in hats?)

Peters Bros sells these for brand new for $150. So I thought $300 might be a bit much.

Well I finished my first ever bash on my first ever vintage hat - the Stetson Sovereign Twenty I posted earlier.

I changed it several times and wore it around the house till it was just right. I know most of you like the more natural bashes, but I wanted to make this one more of a formal hat, plus with my OCD.....

I'm not sure if the stingy brim style really fits me, so I'll probably only break it out on special occasions when dressed up.

Please let me know your thoughts.

I think you should tweak it, just a little, OCD.

Here's Romina, Mara Alisa's cat, with Cooper in the background. Come pick her up anytime, Jim. I don't like or even trust cats.

Simmer Down, LOL. I’ll try to loosen up on my Fed IV when I get it....

If that's the real colour on the homburg, you've found yourself a unicorn. Regardless of its actual colour it's a good looking hat.

Thanks, Stefan. If it is indeed that cadet blue color I'll be tickled pink!
