Jack the Hat...

[bvstaples]

Any one dealt with this UK vendor? He's got some decent pricing on filters and such, but his ads remind me of Crazy What's His Name from NYC.

Just curious...

Crazy Eddie But they are long closed and he eventually went to jail.

Or is this why?

From Wikipedia:
"Jack The Hat, was a notorious London criminal of the 1950s and 1960s. He is posthumously famous for triggering the imprisonment and downfall of the Kray twins. He had acted as an enforcer and hitman with links to "the firm", and was murdered by Reggie Kray in 1967. "

I've purchased from jackthehat in UK and had the items shipped to Australia. I've found him to be a good seller in every way. However, it's still ebay, so "caveat emptor".

Good ol' Eddie Antar. I believe he got out of jail, and is apparently rehabilitated. Last I had heard, he had started another store...

Is it in Brooklyn?

[Blueberrydesk]

Hmm, apparently my info is several years old. Looks like they revived the store several times, each time meeting with demise. ah well.

Eddie took inventory of empty boxes to new heights...and his bankers to new lows.

There was a show about London mobs on cable yesterday and and, among others, JacK The Hat popped up for a few minutes.
