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

Steve...

For some reason I was pretty sure that you'd score this one. Congrats! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I picked up this dark green Hückel Seal Velour. It's an old one but could be transitional (post WWII).

Robert...

That's a sweet Mogwai fedora...but please make sure that it doesn't get wet - or you might end up with something like this on your hands:

Even dry, some may say, we're dangerously close ...

I think that Borsa is going to turn out really nice once Robert does some grooming.

Mario, It does have a shorter brim (probably 2 inches and not 1 3/4 as listed) which I am sure held some people back. Not sure if it will fit but took a chance. If not I can pet it like my other small size velours.

Err...speak for yourself, buddy!

Not sure about the Borso, but the 20 didn't go north of $200 as I recall... [huh]

Lovely hat! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

You can read up a bit on that hat and the Resistol/Rolnick history here. Thanks again to RLK.

Some Ebay dealings turn out to be slightly...um...incestious. Makes me think of that Level 42 song, "Running in the family".

Nice.

Yours? I watched that one and I would have put in a bid had it been my size.

I looked at that one, too. But I have decided not to buy any more 7-1/8 sizers because they are just too loose so I didn't bid on it. I guess I have to realize that I am a firm size 7 even tho some of the new hats I've bought were size 7-1/8. I bought a Charlie One Horse cowboy hat at 7-1/8 and it fits perfectly.

I like that one, though. Good hat.

Nope - several sizes too small for me. I just like it.

Stolie I am excited to see the hat. My hat first hat purchase in about six months. I am a Resistol fan owning two, one I believe from the 1940s is a blue gray OR style with more brim, and the other is a newer Resistol 100 I had reblock one sized down, and re shaped.
Mario thanks for the link
I will post the hat when it arrives

Reminds me of something that I found in the back of the dorm fridge on move-out day in '78.

The vision in my head...

On those furry hats, I get a vision in my head of some artist type with his overcoat on his shoulders but without his arms in the sleeves. Maybe a monocle, too! And he definitely has to have a gold handled walking stick! He has to have one of those. And when he talks he makes big gestures.

The Scala came in... Unfortunately, though it's marked an XL and their size chart claims this will fit a 7 1/2 head, by my measurement it's actually a 7 1/4. Ah well. It's a pretty nice hat, too. Thankfully there's a seven day return policy from the buyer I got it from.

Argh! So far two hats have come to me at a different size than advertised. Unfortunately they are both vintage and cannot be returned for the correct size.

Funny mislisting- (all props & then some to our men & women in service - no disrespect intended.)
