What hat are you waiting for today?

[RickP]

Looks like I struck out on this one... marked 7-1/4 Long Oval but it measures somewhere 7 and 7-1/8. No way Im going to stretch it out that much. Brim looks good snapped up but has some wavy bits when front is snapped down. Im thinking its better to find someone who can wear as-is instead of putting a lot of effort into it


So.... if youre somewhere in the snug 7-1/8 size range and have something in the 7-1/4 LO or 7-3/8 you cant wear, drop me a note... maybe we can do a swap. No liner but leather sweat is in great shape. I just dont need 1-1/2" of air between my ears and the brim

A $7.50 gamble on the Stetson. The coveralls can come along, but I’m not getting anywhere near those leather shorts (or the other “stuff”).

I finally won an auction on eBay that attracted no attention and got a nice 30s newsboy cap in my size

Score!

Thanks! One of them has a whimsical, coincidental personal interest for me. I’m looking forward to seeing what we have here.

You know the saying, "I'd pay any price . . ."? Well, I couldn't pay "any price", but a still new, unworn Art Fawcett came available in my size and some things you don't pass up. I've paid more for hats, but this time, no questions. Bonus, I purchased it from Mrs. Fawcett!

Reminds me it is time to dig mine out for the fall.

A Shelby’s Fine Fedoras for a $14.99 buy-it-now.

I have not found out a lot about the maker, but I believe it was former Lounger Jack Walls.

This was before my time here. Not sure of the tie in with D-Bar-J, but David Johnson was a Las Vegas custom hatter at that time as well (just recently retired).

Excellent acquisition! I arrived to the game too late to snag myself an AF custom but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for one in a 1/8.

Keep them peeled on OFAS. I have it on good authority that more are coming.

I'll be on the lookout! Thanks!

Got a link or website for OFAS ? Please pardon my ignorance... I'm not familiar with this acronym but I would truly like to have an Art Fawcett hat in my collection !

I believe it's shorthand around here for eBay.

There was a time on this forum where certain things were unmentionable, and eBay was one of them. So OFAS is shorthand for "Our Favorite Auction Site."
