Just bought this Baku Straw hat on Etsy. All of the other Baku straw hats I have seen are a darkish brown. The seller, whom I trust, says the color in the pics is the real color of this one, and there are no defects in the straw.
Ignacio will help with sizing.
Happy!

Now that looks like a very unique hat! Give us more pics when you have it in-hand.

A second batch, all from the same estate of Paul Patton, I believe the ex-governor of Kentucky. It looks like he went on shopping spree at the factory outlet in the 60s. A Cav 50; a Dobbs 100, 2 50s, and a 40; and a Knox 50.

I assume these don’t show up on search notifications because they go fast. I have calculated (unscientifically) that the best deals on eBay hats are gone in two waves: within twenty minutes or within two hours. I believe it depends on the hour it gets posted and the size of the hat.

I offered within ten minutes on the first batch; I bought the second after communication offline so I had my offer ready within a few moments after he posted it. [I just wrote to ask if he had any more hats and took the ones with brown sweats.]

Price history: The seller turned down my initial offer of $235 on the first listing and countered for $300, then asked $320 on the second. I just threw my offer out there figuring they might not know what they might not know; the seller had a couple of Resistol 100s listed at the time but no one was really bidding on those hats, so I guess they just wanted to move these hats quickly.

Doc asked nicely for a couple to round out his collection, it looks like we more or less have a lifetime supply of thin ribbons :)




I saw that one. How much did you end up offering? It wasn't listed for very long before it was gone.
