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

    A better look at my recent Stetson from ebay Once again, the seller estimated this hat to be from the 50's (though the straight sided tall crown makes me wonder). Either way I got it for 46 bucks and the quality/condition of it makes it a bargain.

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

    A recently won Hat from ebay Here's a Stetson that I won recently. The owner claimed that it was from the 50's. Fits great and looks cool. http://usera.ImageCave.com/Alchemy5150/DSCN0149a.jpg http://usera.ImageCave.com/Alchemy5150/DSCN0150a.jpg...

    Stetson Nostalgia or Akubra Fedora?

    I can't seem to decide on one or the other. I have a Stetson Temple, but the crown is too low for my taste. I have a Federation Deluxe, which is very nice, but I'd rather not buy another hat with such a straight-sided crown. The Akubra Fedora looks nice, but it's had to tell what the crown...

    freddy hats...any idea?

    According to Freddy legend, it was an older hat that he found in a dumpster that he decided to wear. The part one hat was selected by Robert England because it was an Indiana Jones type hat and he liked the idea of this creepy burnt guy having this really cool hat. Also, Robert was a fan of...

    freddy hats...any idea?

    Thanks, man. I like the Akubra idea. I actually might go that route. Actually, though, I was wondering as to what the original hats they used/weathered for the films. I can't seem to find any info on them (with the possible exception of spotty info on the part 1 hat).

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

    My 30's Dobbs finally arrived The hat fits like a glove. I steamed it and smoothed out some of the creases in the crown and brim and got out some of the "old" smell that it picked up from being stored for so long. Anyway, here's my 1930's Dobbs, snap-brim fedora that I won on e-bay for around...

    My New Deluxe Federation

    This has become my new avatar made a slight adjustment to the bash in that I gave it more of a pronounced pinch front and a slight dip forward on the front of the crown. Now, it's perfect. <img src="http://usera.ImageCave.com/Alchemy5150/fedoraavatarpic.jpg"> There are no words to...
