All that hat needs is a little cleaning and a crease that will hide the mostly fixed hole. While the hole is certainly a flaw, two Borsos like that one recently sold - one went for over $400 (7 3/8) and I can't recall the other's selling price (7 1/4, I think). This was a scratch and dent discount on a 7 1/2.

not mine

Hey I won, one. Any thoughts on who I should send it out to, to have it cleaned and reblocked to a 7 7/8 and have the ribbon and sweat resown?

Yikes! By the time that gets re-sized to a 7 7/8, that brim may be down to just about nothing. You may want to check on that before you spend the bucks.

Cheers,

The same buyer(not me) also picked up the Schoble, listed by the same seller. Both hats were initially listed with starting bids of $49, sans BIN. Said buyer must have made an offer on the pair, and requested the seller re-list both with BIN prices!

got it a a good price. Any thoughts on who I should send it out to, to have it cleaned and reblocked to a 7 5/8 and have the ribbon and sweat resown?

A lot of folks here recommend Optimo, but maybe there's somewhere closer to you that could do a nice job? Nice shade of green on that one, by the way.
