Disney 20, Dobbs 15, and a Lee
Hey Marcus, It is now 2019, in November, looks like I may have just bought the same Disney 20, from an e-bay ad. I guess these hats just revolve around the universe. You still around on the Lounge? Did you sell the hat after a while? Steve Wilson ( Crabman ) -

Hi, You have definitely captured interest on this one. Are you selling it, or sharing? Is the stitching on the sweatband "up and down", or "V"stitching? Thanks, Crabman- crabman

"V" Stitching in old Stetson Hats, vs. "V" stitching in Stetsons made in Australia

"V" Stitching in old Stetson Hats, vs. "V" stitching in Stetsons made in Australia
Here is my dilemma. As far as I know, Stetson stopped using the "V"stitching in their sweatbands, at about the year 1900, and started using the UP AND DOWN STITCH. I have an old BOSS RAW EDGE hat with the "V" stitching instead of the UP AND DOWN stitching. I am trying to date a hat... -

Stolen eBay hat
Hi, Postal Service tracking is a good idea. But! even if the item wasn't insured, I believe the postal service has some responsibility, to leave an item in a secured place! Normally if someone is not home, the postal carrier should leave you a notice, so you can pick up your item at the local... -
