Did Anyone Here Win That Fuzzy Russian Fed...?

[bolthead]

Were any of you watching or did any of you see this hat on OFAS? I was wondering if anyone here nabbed it? I was in the running for it but missed out on it. :eusa_doh: Fuzzy Russian

I was watching that one too. It's such an interesting hat for so many reasons, but I just couldn't see myself really wearing it, so I let it go. I'd love to hear more about it from the winner, if "bouchard" is a lounger.

I believe that finish is called "peluche," from the French, for "becoming fluffy." I think it's a grand hat, and I wouldn't have a problem wearing it. I think they're classy, and bound to give the PETA folks a jolt. I bought my wife a little blue "Super Panizza" fedora with that same finish and a matching chain-link band. These hats are pure beaver.

I just got a red-brown Dobbs peluche on eBay for $10.78 cents because the seller described the fur as "faux." The hair is longer than it is on the Russian hat. They were common back in the 60's and 70's.

I did pass up an old Dobbs peluche that I'm still kicking myself over, champagne-colored, with a 3-inch rolled brim. It seemed to have no shape, like holding an egg yolk in my hand, but once I put it on, it snapped right into place. I wonder if Art has ever worked with this fur?

It looks '20s or '30s to me. It's a classy looking homburg.

Yeah, no kidding....I'm always missing out on the good ones by a lousy $.50, because I'm not home at the time. I hate that. :rage:

Kinda surprised you didn't make a play for it yourself, Dinerman, what with your fondness for fuzzies.

Speaking of which, does anybody else think that "Fuzzy Russian" sounds like a thoroughly unpleasant, student-bar cocktail? lol
