One of the pictures appears to possibly be showing a moth larva. To the left of the re-order tag and below the red liner fold sew line. I would check that ASAP!
Given the amount of moth tracks and holes I would do some checking for those and eggs and take care of it immediately if...
I'm in love with that one. Sometimes cowboys kept hats they only wore on special occasions so they didn't get beat up. I'm always happy to see something that also wasn't found by those pesky flying critters.
Sorry I missed that you were not in the US. I think I would try to find out if there is a Europe distributor that can get it or try ordering from Australia.

Thanks for all the ideas and thoughts about this.
So I didn't get back to the seller before they relisted it as a BIN and I remade my offer, they accepted for the same amount and now I'm waiting to receive it.
While I did have some concerns about getting ripped off my larger concern was...
I to have done the same thing with shipping/packing especially if the hat is a large brim/crown fedora or western and the shipping quote is really low implying a small priority box.
