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

[Lefty]

Yep, that's just one of the things that made it strange to me. It's a select quality, which I thought was phased out by the time a hat that looked like that (the general style and liner) came out, and I don't recall Stetson making such a big deal about their hats being waterproof the way that Mallory, Lee, and others did. Maybe it was a model that was only made for the Canadian market, but I've got nothing but speculation on this one.

Stetsons marked aquanized stetson were made and sold only on the Canadian market.

Though the size tag is missing, and you can't see the reorder tags under the sweat, just for reference, the reorder tags on the canadian stetsons were different, just little rectangular tags. The size tags were done on gold foil instead of manila card stock.

That's a Canadian hat for sure.

I won this Mallory/Stetson yesterday ... Not exactly my style, but for $12 I figured it was worth a shot. If I like the color I may cut down the brim, give it a thin ribbon, and see what the reslut is.

Any thoughts?

I was watching that had and decided against sniping it at the last moment I was going to ask Art or my local guy about cleaning and a new bash and ribbon but for some reson I just let it go. some of the other guys would know more but I thought there's more life in the old hat yet.
Congrats on the win.

Check out this nice looking, bound brimmed Royal Stetson in 7 5/8 that I just missed out on because I was driving home from work when it ended. Oh well. Believe it or not, I don't own a single Stetson.

it has the woolmark on the front of the sweat.

So vintage wool?

Interesting ... I anticipated it being a beater from the beginning, but I didn't know you could tell so readily. Thanks D-man

I almost didn't bid to begin with and told my wife (later in the evening) that I was hoping someone would snipe me,

The problem is that I'm looking for a few specific colors and this was NOT one of them. I really need a grey hat (or a few shades of grey) and am hoping to find a shade of brown somewhere between dark Indi brown and Light tan.

So far no luck landing deals in either of those categories. Anyway, a hat for under $20 incl. shipping is still a hat for under $20. We'll see how it goes.

for shame rabbit...........

Just nailed this on Ebay? It says wool? Do they even make wool fedora's? If so, no biggie, I like the color, it looks clean, and wasn't that bad a deal. Thoughts?
