Not a steal, but fun Resistol real Milan for $45. I mean, until the seller stuffed it into a tiny box. Anyone know if there's an easy/safe way to straighten a bound natural Milan brim? Ugh.

I would use a hand steamer on it. That usually relaxes the fibers.

I am posting this one because, although the seller's pics are terrible, I would like to know if anyone ever heard of the "Vento" brand. It only cost 20 dollars, so I bought it...

I thought it was a coffee size.

I think it cost Fifty Dollars.

I think you could be pleasantly surprised by that one. Looks a bit dirty on the underside, but that should clean up.

Not me. I was looking at it, went away for two minutes, came back and it had sold. I wasn’t going to buy it, but it sure didn’t last long.

Yes, it is a beautiful hat.....I just hope it does not get altered (shrunk)......
Too few around in that size.........

At Starbucks that size costs about $20 too

 

[drmaxtejeda]

I sent an offer of $200 on eBay for this Optimo, and was expecting the seller to reject it offhand.. what a pleasant surprise.

 

[deadlyhandsome]

I’ve been trying to be more discriminating but this Resistol 4X had too much going for it:
1. Granite gray (a favorite)
2. 7 5/8...always nice when the hat is your size.
3. It’s a long oval like my head
4. It’s in as new condition
5. Less than $50

There’s a 7 5/8 Optimo on eBay that I’ve made two offers on. The seller just ignored my offers...they weren’t even worth rejecting.

Sometimes staying up late on Ebay pays off - 1930's Stetson Select Quality "Crush Weight" for under $70

A quick vacuum, steam and brush will have it looking new in no time
