    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I did keep asking what convinced them that it was a Pinnacle, and the response was that it looked like one. I asked what further evidence their "research" provided and their respoinse was just to offer three words....Google, Etsy, Ebay... I did try to interact with them as if they were making...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/265357371142?ViewItem=&item=265357371142 Listed as a Stetson Pinnacle Pure Beaver, but the seller did their own "research" to come to that conclusion...lol. Editing to add info in order to more properly warn people away from the seller who can not claim ignorance, as...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I really appreciate the heads up on that, as I was assuming that because of the rarity of the pine marten felt that would be enough to warrant the investment, but noticed it was still available, so i must be wrong. I might have a problem, as I still am thinking of buying it in order just to get...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Borsalino Martora looks fantastic, but way too small for me, though I did just purchase it in order to resell here, but the only reason I knew it was special is because of the info on this forum and felt guilty about trying to profit off that, so contacted the seller to cancel the sale. I hope...

    Yeah, I ordered a plastic hat shaper from a discount site, but likely was a scam, and will have to order one from the official site to actually get it. I had intented to strip, soak, stretch, but did not know if the velour finish would be messed up. It sounds like it would not need to be, but...

    Do you know if that damages the finish the original milliner worked into the felt? I was thinking about taking the sweat out of a way too small Borsalino to resize in because the felt is so nice. I am getting an old pure beaver womens hat in order to practice with the felt first,, as I figured I...

    Well, I was just assuming it was the waist, but am happy to be corrected. Now that you mention it as I remember my neck being an issue when trying to find a dress shirt at Goodwill, which was frustrating. Shines a spotlight on how little knowledge I have of, or interest in more formal...

    I have had to face some harsh realities and accept that...size does matter. With a new appreciation for vintage hats, I bid on and won a couple of ebay auctions and find myself with hats that are not comfortable to wear. I did order a cheap hat stretcher, and have done some reading about the...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Well, there is the cheap"Beaver Brand" hats that are all over ebay as "beaver fur" by sellers who do not know any better because of the brand. There are also many companies who have tried to jump on Borsalino's name recognition by making their logos and fonts similar to Borsalino. Of course...

    Thanks so much for the lesson. I love learning new things, and it makes sense to add with the waist measurement.

    Congrats on winning a beautiful hat. I was hoping whoever won the auction would back out, as I regretted not bidding more after you won it.

    I agree with everyone else in that this is a generous thing to gift to a stranger. I do not think I could pull off the style, but the info you provide for sizing makes me wonder what the 15/33 is referencing. I did not want to assume the 33 was waist(though most logical), as it still would not...
