I've heard the lottery described as a tax on stupidity, but I do understand the lure. Off topic, I know. Maybe the Observation Bar has this topic covered.

Like I said, I usually don't play but I understand that Playing the Numbers is not only rooted in Harlem history but American history. http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674051072
but hey some may say collecting hats is hoarding, that's the problem with perceptions.

Man 12 bucks don't let the shop know about ebay.

Well I bought this one for just .99 cents more, I know it needs some TLC but for $12.99 I could send it to Drew at cleanahat and perhaps come out with another decent lid.

But, I do hope my local shop stays away from the bay.

Vintage 7 3/8 Royal DeLuxe Stetson Stetsonian

I won this Stetsonian a few days ago on the bay. Pretty clean with a few light moth activity and some fading on the top of crown, but I guess I can live with that. Looks and feels like it was very lightly used. It came in a Dobbs hat box.

Size: 7 3/8
Crown: 5 3/4
Brim: 2 5/8

 

[splintercellsz]

Wow!!!!!!!!!

 

[randooch]

Gorgiferous!

 

[BR Gordon]

Congratulations, that's a beauty.

 

[Johnny J]

Thank you gentlemen! It's been sometime since I have purchased a fedora and when I seen this one I liked it. Also, the seller never posted pictures or info saying that it was a Stetsonian, so I was surprised to find out that it was when I received my hat. I have been wanting to find another one since the last and only Stetsonian I have owned was damaged, so I sold it.

 

[splintercellsz]

I think Randooch's ad in the classifieds would go great with that hat

[JAVIER]

Thanks fellas, the two hats should be great once shown a little attention.

Johnny J: that lids is nice, enjoy it.

 

[Johnny J]

Thanks again guys! I really like this one and the fit is perfect. I don't know what it is, but when I have this one on and compare to other vintage fedoras I have, like for example a Dobbs Hanover also with binded brim, the dimensions and felt on this one is a lot nicer and the way the brim is flanged and when its down in front it just looks so nice!

 

[tridentine]

Johnny, Do you mind if I ask how much you payed for the great hat?

The seller was very nice and gave me a partial refund because of some of the stains, so the price went down to 102.00

Johnny, nice hat, looks very good my friend. Congrats. I Look forward for more details!
