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

[drmaxtejeda]

Probably, maybe late 50s early 60s even. Based on the liner tip and the quality of that sweat imprint.

Thanks, Jim

I would jump on it, but there are neither pics nor a discription... View attachment 327338

Hmmmm. I choose the one...on the left?!

 

[drmaxtejeda]

Ha! I thought there might be an error there somewhere.

I guess it depends on whether it is soft or stiff. From those pics, it could be a bowler.

I think the brim curl puts it in the bowler category.

 

[Rmccamey]

Looks like a very good D'Orsay curl for a 50's hat and with the shorter lip on the front, a bowler was my first guess. For a fleeting moment, my hope was that it was a 1/8 and Max would send it my way

Yes,

I mean bowler. Sorry.

I often go to Ebay when I've had a bad day for a laugh.

Ah yes, is that from “Dad’s private collection”?

Don't forget all the assistance from nephew.

A bit of a mystery:

My habit after finding a decent priced hat is to look at what other items the seller has hoping to find more hats. I did the same with this seller and I got more than I was expecting. I think there’s less leather in Yahoody’s tack room!

Barbizona Beaver Twenty Cav-Edge.
I had never heard of this brand, so I looked it up in the lounge. There was one bought on eBay on 2008, but unfortunately the pictures are lost.
This one seems very well made.

Great hat, Max. The size tag reminds me of Mac Lachlan. I’ll be interested to see what the labels behind the sweatband show us.

Ah! I hadn't thought of that. Thank you, Brent!

My thoughts exactly Brent. Nice find Max!

I’ve been considering an Akubra Woomera, but this might scratch that itch.

That is a lot of hat.

I’ll keep an eye out for one in 7 1/2 for you, shall I?
