[randooch]

Another "too warm for California" fedora up for grabs.

Start the new year off in fine style and warm comfort.

I think you should re-think this "too warm for California" stuff. I moved to SoCal 6 years ago from Massachusetts and I've had plenty of opportunities to wear my dress felts. The lack of humidity makes up for the higher temps so the shade helps.

i think it mostly depends on what a person does while wearing a hat. I'm a very active person, so a heavier fur felt hat quickly becomes too warm to wear in this climate. Two blocks into a walk with my dog, and I need to remove the hat and carry it the rest of the way.

Can't believe someone wants to have Art Fawcett trim the brim on this glorious hat! I hope this foolish person doesn't get this hat and/or Art refuses to butcher it!

I'm tempted to buy it myself just to keep it out of their hands. Unfortunately, I already have nearly this exact hat

What?! Where did you read that?

Question at the bottom of the ebay page.

And Randall's response was perfect

Glad to hear the agreement from you folks. I was aghast. The fellow pointed out that the buyer was free to do what he pleased once he owned the hat, and he is 100% right, but it would be a cryin' shame to mutilate it.

TommyK, that hat indeed appears to be a twin brother!

 

[Lotsahats]

Well-handled, sir! I have found, with one exception, that the most demanding eBayers never end up bidding on my auctions--and that is fine with me.

[randooch]

Sigh. Looks like the snipers have me in their sights after all, despite my wishes.

 

[Lotsahats]

Mea culpa! I was watching without bidding, but I've put my bid in. Glad to be part of it.

Thanks, Aaron!
