Stetson Flagship wanted...

[Aureliano]

I want a Stetson Flagship. Grey 71/8. I have a vintage Borsalino to trade. I will buy too.

 

[Aureliano]

Bump.

What is the maximum amount you would you be willing to pay, Aureliano?

I don't know how much this hats usually go for. I know flagships are desirable hats. Tell me how much you'd want for it and if I can afford the price I'll buy it.

One can't be expected to say what one is willing to pay for something until that person sees the goods. Or so it seems to me -

Depends. One starts from the top --a pristine, mint condition Flagship in the color combo that the buyer likes best-- and goes down from there. That's why I asked Aureliano for the maximum amount he'd be willing to pay.

I'm more comfortable if presented with a price. And images of the hat, too of course. Got something there Marc?

Right now I don't, but I'm connected to a a fairly large web of dealers who probably do (or will). If you could let me know your ideal shade of grey, I'll send the word out to them and get the ball rolling. Also, are you willing to compromise on the condition of the hat?


My ballpark guess is that a pristine Flagship in your size will run you at least $250 via a dealer. (Maybe less on eBay.)

Thanks, Marc.
It doesn't have to be pristine. Good vintage condition. No moth holes.
$250 out of my league. $135/50 would be better. Any shade of grey would work.

Understood. I'll send the word out tonight. Thanks!
