That's a fine get. I've only grabbed one off the marketplace but it was a 7X CB OR I drove to Nashville to pick up. You'll enjoy that one.Purchased this on FB last night, a 3x OR, it wasn't a bargain per se but the seller says it was their friend's dad's hat and he never wore it. I can't wait until it gets here. Don't see too many 7 1/2 long ovals come up in this condition.

Thank you! I hope it's as nice as advertised. I bought my other OR on FB also, it is probably a 60s 3X OR but not LO.That's a fine get. I've only grabbed off the marketplace but it was a 7X CB OR I drove to Nashville to pick up. You'll enjoy that one.

Good god Brent......do you have your own server and search engine????I had been messaging the seller on this hat.

You seem to have a hand in on EVERY hat for sale on the internet just now!!!
Stefan and a littlebit Pellie ;-)Bob is stiff competition and Stefan has Europe covered.
I’ve been spending a lot of time on the hunt lately, but not a lot in my size and fewer still in a style I like.
I left the bidding on these two to other winners, but was trying to wrap my head around that fact that someone would hack up a sweat band this way to maybe make the hats fit. This must not have been done by the original owner as it seems that if you can afford a Rand's Custom you can afford to have it resized or a new sweat put in.

Nice. I like the bound and whipped edge…that doesn’t sound right.
Congrats Brent! Not sure I've seen this version of a sweat stamp. Looks like that was O'Farrell from 1992 - 2004 based on a company search. https://opengovco.com/business/19921064812

You should add this hat and the company timeline info to the O'Farrell specific thread.

Beautiful—love the liner. And the font they used for the initials on the sweat!Not a huge derby / bowler fan but when it’s an exposition medal 7 5/8…..
