Kinda looks like a wicker chair.Anyone ever see something like this? It looks to have been made for the tourist trade, but it’s still interesting.

Some moth damage...the rest looks like gophers...This was a defeat, but I didn't go very deep. I like the description ... "some moth damage".

I thought the above Stetson store stamp was cool enough to dig up some info on the store:

Looks like nothing leaving out for a few minutes in the nearly 100% humidity and mid 90s temps we’ve had going on here wouldn’t fix.This doesn’t seem right:

@BobHufford recently commented that size 7 1/8 is bizarrely common in auctions. I’ve had that same thought and find more hats in this size than in the sizes starting with “6.” Strange.

I believe there was another thread where we've posted some more graphs and numbers about this. If I remember correctly the graph hasn't changed over time either, against my own perception that the average used to be smaller. Hat manufacturers were and are of course well aware of this.
Wow. I think I have some cork strips lying around somewhereTwo more 7 1/8 hats:
