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

[VetPsychWars]

That's a gorgeous Strat Tom. I considered bidding but I was having Art make me one so I passed. It's always nice to find those old ones in mint unshaped condition.

Thanks; I've learned my lesson. If it's cheap, you probably don't want it. Nowadays, when I can't keep from looking, I only go for things that haven't been messed with too badly. I have a challenge coming up, though; a Borsalino that was creased with a flat crown. Getting that sharp crease out to do a C-crown with front pinch will take some doing.

Can one buy a liner for a fedora that does not have one?

I would really like to own a Stratoliner with or without one.

Do you mean a generic replacement liner or finding a Royal Steston liner like the original?
Generic ones are easy to get = http://www.hatsupply.com/hatlinings.htm

This has to be the stingiest brim, proportionally, that I've seen yet!

I think it's just a Fez with a hangnail Randall.

I bought what they advertised as a 7 1/2 Stetson XXX Open Road from the 1950's, in excellent condition.

Turns out it is a 7 1/4 and will not fit me.
I have no luck on ebay.
I do not know what to do with it.

Here it is:

If it's not as advertised, the seller should take it back for a full refund. Just contact the seller about the error. If they don't want to do it, you can open a claim, as long as the auction definitely advertises a different size than it really is.

Contact the seller. Any good seller should really return your money + return shipping. If they won't take care of it then do the "resolve a problem" thing with ebay and you'll get your original cost + shipping returned at least.

That's too bad, it's a very nice looking hat.

The size on the box is clearly marked a 7 1/4 but no questions asking the seller if the size was right?...

 

[tridentine]

I asked him again the size before buying it and he said 7 1/2

You have better eyes than mine.
I could not read the box.

I took their information as it being 7 1/2 [which they advertised twice in the add and once when I asked].
