ATTN: Big Headed Loungers who eBay....

[Rick Blaine]

I wanted to alert the community to a certain auction whose title, in part, reads "...Carlton for Dover..."
This is an item that I had to return last week. It was sold as good condition & @ 7 5/8, It was, in fact, a size 7 1/8 and had significant moth tracking on the front left brim. To have to do this broke my heart as the color was rare & lovely & the felt, to my eye, top notch. I am a little frustrated & surprised that, in light of my return, the seller did not modify the description, but I didn't want to see any Loungers have to repeat my experience.


Barkeeps: I hope this doesn't violate the 'live auction' prohibition as I didn't link to the auction itself, but if it does feel free to do your duty...

Thanks for the *snicker, snicker* HEADS up! I was tracking that hat. And I thought I had seen it before. Sorry for your loss, but thanks for the info!

He has added the following info:

Q: Hi, 2 quick questions: 1. is the hat marked "fur felt, wool or **X's" 2. what is the brim width from body to edge ? tia Oct-13-07
A: Does not say what kind of felt. Tag under sweatband reads 7 and 1/8 for size. Brim is about 2 and 3/4. And finally there appaers to be a little moth tracking on top of brim in one spot. I only noticed it after closer look in good light. Thanks for all the questions people.

It's a good thing he got a CLOSER LOOK
