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

[Tango Yankee]

I think after a second round of steaming it will be fine Thanks for the support!

That's quite a good result there, Tampahound! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap Much better than I would have expected, but then again I wasn't aware that bowlers came in softer crowns. Thanks for the info/ad post, D-man. I learn something new here almost every day!

Cheers,
Tom

RE: OH MY!

The seller emailed with apologies, and asked how I would like to move forward. I figured since the hat wasn't a total loss, and a box would be nice to store the hat in, I asked for a refund of the $12 I paid for shipping. I figure I can pick up a box locally for that or less. [huh]

I will post a picture of me in the hat in the new hat thread soonish...I have to do round 2 of the steaming first.

Nice hat - I wish it had been in my size.

I just closed this auction early. I've been waiting for one of these, and this one looks like a good one worth the price. I'll post better pictures when it gets here.

I was outbid on the Supernatural so I bid on the Dobbs instead. They are both very nice porkpies and in my size so I figured, what the hell? I need more summer hats. [huh]

Supernatural

My first ebay win . . .

Might be a little overkill on pictures, but here's my first win. Needs some cleaning and blocking, but for $20 shipped, it was a steal I think. Comments/suggestions are welcomed . . .

 

[Feraud]

How is the fit? In this pic the hat looks snug and sitting high on your head.

 

[CigarMan]

It did seem a little snug, even though I am a 7 1/8, but when I take it to get cleaned and blocked I was going to ask the hatter to stretch out some.

Just got these in today.

Guess what kind of hat the TWA pin will go on!
I have a good friend that has spoken for the Scout pin, I wonder what hat he has planned for it?

A trucker?

Nice grab!

Wow, was actually tempted by this but someone grabbed a 7 3/8 Whippet (40's?) on a BIN for $250.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270371495105&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

You pulled over bigger pics than I did, billy. I couldn't resist it. I've been waiting for a Whippet for quite a while, and I didn't want that one that color to get away. The seller started the auction at $180, and I didn't think the BIN was too bad so I snagged it early.

Interesting or ugly? Old company from Orange,NJ. For $10.45 I'll see what it looks like in real life.

Check out James Powers' Dobbs Rainbow.

I have three Dobbs with that Baskin stamp on them. I just assumed they were a store name. Any Ideas?

Stetson 3 way, 6 7/8 This one is really different from the others I've seen and the one shown in the only 3 way ad that I know of.
