Just picked up a size 7 1/2 Whippet as a Buy It Now for $125. Here is the link:

The hat was sold originally at Gimbels which is a plus for me being a Philly guy. Noggin photos will be posted upon receipt. Best, Sam

Hi, Sam --
It will be interesting to see what actually arrives at your doorstep. Yes, there is a photo of a Whippet liner -- but the auction description notes that "St. Regis" appears on the sweatband. It's just hard to make out from the photos what's going on...[huh]
Cheers,
JtL

Hi Jimmy. The seller had two hats up for sale. She used the same copy for both. The photos of the other hat (navy blue), depicted a band with St. Regis on it. The liner did not say Whippet. I suspect the seller did not know the difference. If the hat that arrives is not a Whippet as described and pictured, I think you know what I will do. Best, Sam

I think I do...lol lol lol
That sounds like good news -- if what appears on your doorstep is a black Whippet, that is going to be an exceptionally sharp lid. BobC just won one of those, and it is a striking fedora. Good luck, and keep us posted!
Cheers,

Sam, let me join the club of parties interested in that hat. It looks like a very nice hat. The one I scored recently is among the finest I've reeled from the bay ever. That one appears every bit as nice, and it's the second black Whippet, if in fact it is a Whippet, I've ever seen. I must say that it certainly looks very like a Whippet. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed with you.

This one arrived today. It is not wool has stated but fur. Lovely hat I'll get some better pics up later this week.

I sure thought it would go North of $300! Wish it was a 7 5/8...Michaelshane said:

I was watching that one.. Wow whata hat. When I first saw it I bid $100 right off, just pure spontaneous reaction. hehe.. As if I stood a chance. That certainly didn't last long.

I figured it was fur felt. Nice score. There seems to be a whole lot of mislabeling as to wool/fur felt on the bay.

No kidding. From the seller of this hat:
Q: How wide is the brim? Thank you. Jake
A: It is about 12 1/4 inches. Thanks for asking. Dan
I think that would make a sombrero, not a fedora. We can't expect Ebay sellers to know as much about hats as we do, but often their mistakes are amusing. The poor or inaccurate descriptions are mostly from ignorance, I think, although occasionally I sense a deliberate attempt to mislead.
7x CB 7 1/4lo CHEAP!!!
