That's the Borsalino on page 1204. Can't get the picture over here.

This one? -

That's it Thank You Very Much

 

[Rick Blaine]

Thank you!

Thank you for buying this before I saw it, cause tho' I haven't two dimes to rub together right now, I'd of bought in anyway at that price. That is one sweet little number!

I'm with you on that one Rick! Great price, great hat. That may restore my faith that you can cherry pick a bargain if you remain vigilant. And yes, I would probably be headed for divorce if I pulled the trigger, even at that price!

I have a 3X Resistol San Antonio with that same liner, one of my faves, fits so nice. Let us know (after you get the hat) if there is anything in the hat indicating it is a San Antonio, or whatever. I steam all of mine out to open crown and then into a tear drop, but sometimes it can be a real challenge to get the old crease lines to disappear.

Just got this Resistol Open-Road wanna be, $10. Has a bit of moth damage, but I think I can work around it with the HarpPlayerGene method (oh, what would I do without the fedora lounge?).

Gonna take the Cattlemen's crease out, probably gonna switch to a diamond crease, or maybe just center dent...

The buyer who picked up the leather cap I was selling is a bit different than most. They're closing in on 34000 feedback (just for the buyer's name in my auction - read the link, they have more), 100% positive, and all of the communication I've had with them is automated. This is a first for me.

From their "about us" page below:

Will do! The hat is already on its way.

That is bizarre. I have never heard of that before. Somebody had a great idea.

Don't wear caps too often, but have been looking for a nice tweed one for a while, picked this vintage-ish Dunn for less than £5 posted.

 

[Mario]

And yes, I would probably be headed for divorce if I pulled the trigger, even at that price!

Now that'd be one of the reasons why I prefer to go umarried...

 

[Lefty]

not mine

Pretty great Imperial Stetson 15, 7 3/8

I have a similar Resistol. You've scored a great hat at an amazing price! :eusa_clap

Or a reason a man should choose his wife carefully . . .

 

[Rick Blaine]

not mine

Meanwhile, it's little bro doesn't get near the respect!

 

[Lefty]

calling it a Champ probably didn't help. I tend not to look at Champ, Adam, and others.

To find one who runs a vintage shop that also sells gents' hats would be perfect...

I like the way you think, Mario, and as the guy who originally said I'd be headed for divorce, I have to add it might have something to do with a fairly recent Whippet acquisition I'll have to let things calm down a bit before jumping into the fray...

Then again, there's that Imperial Stetson Lefty mentioned, and Buler's 7X CB....

 

[Charlie Huang]

Okay, who got this?

Bloody eBay failed to send me a reminder!

 

[DRB]

Lefty or Rick, do my eyes deceive me or is that a cavanagh edge on that Imperial Stetson 15, 7 3/8?
