new hat (pictues added)
I said I like living on the edge in another post. I took a big chance and bought a hat that arrived yesterday. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=012&item=220011519191&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 You can ponder on that, and I will post pictures tonight. -

Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps
I was thinking that that much individualism would not be tolerated in today's military. But look at the white hat of ten defferent sailors, and you will see at least five different styles of shaping. -

A size 7, eh? Interested in a very nice Borsalino Milan straw with a loose sweatband? Anyway, these are some great hats you found. And some great buys too. -

What does it cost to have a sweatband resewn? I'm not sure I would trust myself to undertake that. In the end I will most likely relist it. -

I'll look when I get home. Didn't Besdor say that the serial number only has the year of mfg starting in the 70s or 80s? -

Aaannd another panama!
From what I have seen/believe to be true the straw is woven into a strip that is then sewn into a spiral in the shape of a hat. Imagine laying a strip of cloth on the desk, working it into a flat spiral, and sewing one continuous seam through the overlapping edges. I hope that's not too... -

I like living on the edge. It was listed with a Buy it Now price of $30, and I chose to take it before someone else could get it first. My size is 7 1/4 so this hat is two sizes too small. I have noticed a lot of hats on ebay recently with one picture, too short description, and no... -

Printed on the plastic? Mine is definately printed on the liner with a translucent fabric over it. "Plasticized silk" is a good description. -

The sweatband itself is in great shape. The thread holding it in is shot. Everything is perfect except that and the sweat stain. I wouldn't blame the seller for not wanting to take it back due to the now partially detached sweatband. And if they don't know enought to measure the inside... -

My Borsalino straw hat arrived today. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230012828642 The good news is that it's in great shape as described. The straw is a little darker than in the pictures, and there is a small sweat stain on the crown. The scarf hatband is a very light... -

It does have a much older look than the clear plastic tops. -

The liner looks exactly like my last Borsalino. Mine has the silk-like piece, brown sweatband and blue/white tag without Eulan Bayer. It is really nice felt. -

Whippet real good! With photos...
Photobucket is blocked by the firewall at work so I can't see the photos until I get home. I have had luck standing back and zooming in for pictures of my hats. They are less blurry and the flash doesn't wash out. I can't see your pictures so I don't know if that is why they didn't turn out well. -
