Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I might be wrong but I don't think members of this forum are the ones spending the astronomical sums on Whippets. But then again I am interested in who is? There is a seeming level irrationality to these purchases, I mean why Whippets, why not Playboys or Flagships or pick your Stetson. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
It is nuts. It's the Holland tulip craze. What I worry about is counterfeits, how hard would it be to have a stamp made that could mimic that stamp on the sweatband. I mean when the only difference between a 50$ Royal Stetson and 500$ Whippet is that little stamp. -

How many hats do you own? Or at what point does obsession become compulsion. At what point does a hobby become covetousness. When does the acquisition of hats that don't even fit us become hoarding. The same half a dozen people make up 90% of the posts here. many of you already own over 100... -
The Preppy Handbook... Returns!
I remember that book. I think it had something about what were the best colleges to be kicked out, some kind of status issue I believe. I'm from Chicago and I remember Lake Forest college on the north shore being one of them.- Artie

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Thats alot for a 6 3/4. I just bought a Max Goldstein derby from the twenties size 7 mint for 25 with a very old Knox box. Couple of weeks ago I got a stetson derby form the early part of the last century for 7.99 in 7 1/8. I've noticed and have got some great deals lately. It seems that if it's... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Great hat, personally all I'm concentrating on right now is thirties hat's. Fortunately I'm a size 7 so I get them relatively cheap. I looked at the Ebay ad, did you really pay 30$ for shipping? That seems excessive. -
"Bash." Not a hatter's term?
The truth is I don't mind Dissecting minutia, it can be both fun and enlightening. and the heavens know I have learned tons of stuff that I would have not have had access to any where else but here. But I do think some times we do have to be reminded that it really is all for fun. And Bartender... -

Wow 12 bucks, man did that fall through the cracks. It happens, I just got a 50's Bianchi strat clone for 15. In a land of 400 dollar Whippets there are plenty of good deals still to be had. -

Post New Hats Here!
All cleaned up and ready to go! My 25.10$ 1930's Dobbs cross country, what a steal. Hat was perfectly clean just needed a little steam and a hand bash. Look at the size of that crown! In my opinion this is the perfect 30's hat, 2" brim and a skyscraper crown. The felt is even lighter than my... -
