First hat!

Well, here's my first ever hat purchase... and I managed for it to be vintage. It's listed as a Stetson, "3x Beaver Quality" (can someone help me with what that means? I assume beaver refers to the felt...), late 40's or early 50's.

Anyways, here are the auction pics from Ebay. When I receive it, I'll post more with it perched on my head.

Thanks to everyone here for the wealth of information which allowed me to be a bit more comfortable on bidding. And, as always, my thanks to Mr. Hemingway Jones for all his time and patience.

Oh... final price: $16.52 + $8.50 shipping.

Enjoy!

Trust me folks, when I receive it there'll be new pics.

I'm like a proud father or something; I wanted to post pics... any pics... as soon as possible.

I feel better having acquired one now. Didn't feel right belonging to the FL without owning one!

It's a nice hat - I thought about bidding on it but I had a job interview and forgot all about it !!!

Haven't heard back yet - fingers crossed though...
