Fantastic. I've saved a few of the shots for reference. You'll find that these go great with Oreos.

Royal Stetson Deluxe Vita-Felt, wafer (Grand Slam) edge, 7 1/2

What's cool about the edge treatment is that it is actually a reverse wafer edge (underwelt). It is the mirror image of the wafer edge on my Stetson Avenue.

Been waiting a long time for this. Finally going to see what Vita-Felt is all about.

The added bonus is that it is from Woodward & Lothrop ("Woodies") in D.C. where I grew up.

Congrats! Was watching this one, but I have my eyes on a couple of other lids so I did not bid. Glad you got it. Should be even better in the flesh.

I was wondering what that would bring...

Well done sir. I have two and love them both, they are distinctly different feels (one thick and luxuorious the other thin, stiff and supple), I would be interested to see what the experts opinion is on this.

Strat, size 7?

Strat, size 7?

My snag, hope it's a 7. Surprised it didn't go higher.

Knox 80, less than new.

Nice pair, Alan. I wish I'd seen those . . . or maybe I should be happy I didn't!

Nice! I love the contrasting ribbon and binding.

It was a mystery hat... but a good price to take a chance. Hope it's a stunner.

 

[hatophile]

Thanks, gents, hope it turns out OK.

Nice Knox-ers, Alan.

 

[Lefty]

If the inside is as nice as the outside, it looks to be great.

I'm always puzzled why people won't spend another quarter, or take the five minutes to learn to insert flikr/photobucket pics, to display their product. Two more photos and the model name in the title probably would have driven that one higher.

This straw leaped up into the stratolinersphere in the last second, but there's something in the way she moves...

Beautiful leghorn, Alan, and an Ohio hat to boot!

[alanfgag]

Thanks... with 1 second left to go it was a great deal too. Then all hell broke loose. I almost chickened out.

 

[Lefty]

not mine
nice Stetson, but another of questionable size

That one I did see. I bid but you outbid me by a mile. Congratulations on a beautiful hat

Many thanks, Bill (and Delectans and Lefty) -- I look forward to comparing notes.
