I think you are correct with that opinion. I was actually bidding on that hat, until the price went to Nasa, and was informed, "Houston, we have lift off"...as the bidding went into outer space! I stopped bidding for a few reasons, one of which, the hat needs a lot of work done on it, before my Husband could even wear it. Sure the hat is some what vintage, but gee whiz, not like it was owned by Elvis or anything to make it be worth the winning bid. In fact, a better choice financially would be have a Custom hat from one of the resident Hatters from here on the Lounge. Now if that hat would have been super clean and spotless and not need any work done, maybe the final price would have made the Hat a closer to value to price....
I'll tell you, that Knox 40 looks great. But it was way too rich for my blood. I must admit, though, I'd have paid that much for a Knox 100.
I believe, Stan Getz used to wear a Borsanova
