Sorry if this isn't the right thread for this, but this Stetson has color and proportions (and felt, if Alan is lucky) a lot my my Dobbs Leisure Light of about the same era. It's one of my favorite hats . . .

 

[alanfgag]

Nice... Have you archived that one in the Dobbs Diner?

 

[alanfgag]

... of all my ebay purchases to date, this one was the most lovingly packed. :eusa_clap

A $50.00 borsalino is a great price what is his problem? Is this the auction with the bid retraction in it?

Jeff

Nope. This is a different auction.

Indeed I have.

Well, if it exploded in the box en route, it would have made a big mess. I think that kind of precaution is just basic prudence.

Hello Folks,
I haven't gone fishing in the Bay for ages but was smitten with this very stylish Collins & Fairbanks (by Disney):

That's a sweet little backbow!

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

Yep it is a very stylish number. I don't normally dip that deep into the trousers....but it was lurve!

Oddly enough, the backbow reminds me of one on the Knox you sold me, Randooch. Which I still need to stitch back on, haha. Though this ribbon isn't quite so large as the Knox's.

I'm hoping that one makes an appearance here.

 

[red71veloce]

I was watching that one as well.....sure looked like a heavily tapered crown, but it may have just been the photos....

 

[Lefty]

does that say Stratoliner? 7 3/8

Dobbs Snap-Amatic, 7 1/8 - one of the lamest hat-company-created words, in league with Hankachif felt

 

[Lefty]

Sovereign OR 20, 7 1/4lo

Knox topper with fantastic logo

Select Quality derby, 7 1/4

7 1/2 Borso gets little attention - it looks to say lightweight on the sweat

I thought that might have been your doing. I'm sure it will pop-up here at some point.
