Thank you very much zetwal new to the whole vintage fedora market I already have one vintage. Its a champ fedora from the fifties but im thinking about selling it, its too small for my noggin its 7 1/4 and in mint condition, hardly worn at all! I don't know how to sell or post pictures up yet anyways so im stuck right now haha.

Terry that is a go to the limit Strat for sure glad you got it.

 

[dnjan]

Not sure what to do about the other one; I'll entertain suggestions (and offers!)

Find someone whose college colours included maroon ...

 

[Iyor]

Zetwal, as they are both from the same seller I suspect they are from the same owner.

 

[casechopper]

Just picked this up. Hopefully the sizing is correct.

I was thinking of having Sammy Davis Jr.'s initials embossed in the sweat....

Just picked this up. Hopefully the sizing is correct.

Casechopper, nice find. Hückel are great Hats. This one, is my guess is from Selco Hatters. Looks good!

Say, what's the deal with these two 3XB? I bid on the older one and was the only bidder. Auction pics below. There was a mixup with the pics of the other, more recent 3XB, but the seller updated the listing after my query.
Almost too good to be true...or perhaps too true to be good? The more recent one went low as well, only two bidders very early in the auction.

The older one:

The more recent one:

Stetsons of this age and general type are plentiful. In my opinion, the prices here are in line with what we commonly see.

Thanks for the info! I guess I haven't been searching for this style long enough to know the prices that well.

Enjoy your new hat ... :yo:

Enjoy your new hat ... :yo:

I sure will. I've been wanting to have one just like that for some time time now. Just one is quite enough.

Great news ...

That's a nice one, Rabbit. I love the embroidered liner. I have a few OR's with those.

 

[zetwal]

I love the embroidered liner.

Me too. I much prefer the embroidered last drop over the printed version.

 

[Aureliano]

Me too. I much prefer the embroidered last drop over the printed version.

+1 much nicer, indeed. Congrats on the hat, Rabbit!

 

[Rabbit]

Thanks, fellows! If this 3XB is as nice as I think it is (judging by the sweat etc.), it will be the only Western I need. Ok, want. Looking forward to the embroidered last drop liner!

 

[carouselvic]

Both are nice hats, not sure that I would agree with your dating though.

I'm keen to learn.

Any one familar with the Borsalinos being sold on eBay from Sofia,Bulgaria ?
The seller is claiming them to be from the 30s but the liners and sweats look like 60-70s stock.
Any info on them would be appreciated.
Thanks
