Brilliant!... is it furry?

It appears to be on the smooth side. When it arrives I will take clearer photos.

Fantastic vintage 1930s (or maybe 1940s?) newsboy cap. Excellent condition. Size 7 1/2. Did any Fedora Loungers bid on it?

$5k poster, but with room to bargain.

I was intrigued by this little Cross Country. The seller responded to my query on possible damage glimpsed in the low resolution pictures, but I decided to bid on it anyway. Flanul?

I can't wait to see that one, Alan! It looked extremely interesting. I was going to bid on it, but I totally missed the auction. Great find!

Those rabbits are either very stupid, or suicidal.

Well, if there is room to bargain.....

I tried an offer of $10, but for some reason it was declined. Also, you'd think they'd at the very least offer free shipping lol.

Just won this fedora. I neve heard of this manufacturer, but it looked interesting and I liked the style.

Great find! I have a Moores Bowler.

Thanks MayserWegener

Wow those are some nice bowlers!

I've got to say you have, IMO, one of the finest collections of hats. I particularly like the Austrian ones. Its a shame my grandmother didn't keep any of my grandfathers hats, my grandparents live in Austria and he always wore a hat.

Got a good deal on this Stetson. It doesn't have a sweatband or Liner. Any suggestions on that? Ive got a great hat guy in Phoenix...maybe I can take it to him.

Looks like a Stratoliner in the background (not mine):

Won this interesting hat. It's far too big for me, but the seller accepted my best offer, which was much less than HALF of the BIN price. I'll probably attempt to resell it @ a similar price point here on the Lounge after I learn a little more about it.

Moose River w/ the bound brim removed, IMO.

I absolutely love that clock, Alan. That baby is beautiful!

If only it was that easy to turn rabbits into hats!

Might have been for me, but I was runner-up. Had a much higher snipe set, but killed it and did a regular bid as there's something else not hat-related I want to purchase this week. I figured the chances of my winning it at the lower bid were 50-50.

This is live, but it's a relist of a BIN for a hat presented to Caspar Weinberger, SecDef under Reagan.

It was a presentation hat:
