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

Kind words of solace appreciated. My indomitable optimism has me fantasizing that it actually IS a 7 7/8! Ah well, I can dream 'til it arrives anyway.

Congrats Mr. Vim!

Anyone grab this O.R. 7 3/8 LO?

You're not alone Randooch. The sad thing is, if you browse the fedora and western eBay selections at 6 7/8, there are always amazing deals to be had. I have to do this often in my search for a real 7 7/8, because eBay can't seem to tell the difference when searching. If my head was that small, I'd have several Open Roads and any number of beautiful vintage hats. Then again, I would look like an upside down ice cream cone with such a small skull. At least you didn't bid it up too high. Frank

My melon is 7 5/8th but my wife is 6 7/8th. Let's just say she has some beautiful hats at absolutely ridiculous prices. How about a 100% beaver OR style from Shudde Bros. for under 10 bucks or a Marathon Contraster is immaculate condition for about 25? At least I can bid them without it just being for a collection.

Hat and a Fish. Normally I would have bid on this, but I forgot:

How would that hat stay on his head? I know that it was the early 20th century style to wear them high, but that's just got to be balanced.

Glad to see you're still checking in.

That is a nice-looking hat he's wearing, albeit a little small.

I just received this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT only to find out that it isn't really a size 8 but instead measures 8 inches from front to back on the inside. So now I'll have to see how the seller wants to resolve it. I wish sellers understood hat sizing.

You got it at a great price if you can figure out its size you should be able to unload it here with out at problem.
