OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

[drmaxtejeda]

They are very nice. I have my basement booby trapped with vintage hats everywhere, lol...I'm going to concentrate on some modern hat makers for a change. I'm working on a couple of Gannon's and an Optimo is on the Three Kings Day holiday list [emoji6]

It is hard to ignore a nice vintage hat.[emoji24][emoji1]

Los Reyes Magos! It's best to only give gifts for those and not for Christmass, because after Christmass everything is discounted.
Unfortunately, I could never convince my kids and my wife of that, dammit.

[emoji1] You are right, lol....Usually my wife and I exchange something small, but for next year I told her that Melchor better be bringing me an Optimo order slip or appointment schedule [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Was just notified I won this Nutria - not sure what's going on with the sweat there but I'm looking forward to getting it cleaned up.

Was watching that one too. Looks to be a bit of mildew and should clean up. Well bought. Congrats!

That's the Ed Gein model.

Congratulations on a Nutria!

That's just wrong. Does it come with a matching vest or lampshade?

Great one, J. Sweats got the look of a little mildew. Should be an easy clean, unless Jack is right.

LOL...comes with a Western Blazer with matching lapel & elbow patches.

Interesting. That just means it’s worth way more than I thought!

Thanks Greg, haven’t had much luck on the bay but doing alright elsewhere!

Thanks Bob, have you found shipping from this site is always crazy? I think they billed me $60 and I didn’t even get an email to argue with it.

Yep ... different with every auction house (if they will ship it at all). Some have been as reasonable as Goodwill and others will slap "handling" fees on, then take it across the street to the UPS Store where the street-rates are doubled.

I found a red liner Resistol for sale without a size listed. I asked for the size and this was the response:

Great news! Who knew that a 6 7/8 would fit my 7 5/8 LO head after just a few wears!

Super hat J.
Nutria’s like this one have the block and brim width that are perfect imho.
The embroidered liner tip is icing on the cake.
I bet it cleans up nice and is a top shelf hat for you. I know mine is.
Good get.

Did you reply? I had a seller tell me all "antique" hats were made of cashmere, in a condescending tone. When I said I had always thought they were made of hare, rabbit, and beaver or either pure or blended, she said I might be right, and that she would have to change the listing. She didn't.
