Don't know if I'll keep the crease?

Too bad I contaminated it with my cooties.

Nice finds, Chuck. I have a beaver 25 Churchill and the label under the sweat identified it as the Longview model. Don't know if yours is the same but they are great hats. Don't be afraid of the Cattleman crease.

I'm guessing no one went for this Stetson 100 over on Goodwill because....it had few pics of the hat itself, NO SIZE listed, NO PICs of the sweatband, and no one answered any questions about the hat?

Well it looked like a bargain, and my brother has a bigger head than mine, so I took the risk. Let's see how it turns out!

I saw it, but the odds of it being my size are so slim that I just sighed and moved on. I hope it works out for you; a wonderful hat no doubt.

Latest flea market finds,2 hats a Champ and a Dobbs.I've been lucky finding Champs that fit.The Dobbs I got because when I looked at it I could tell it was a large size.I have a couple of large cranium friends that would like liners.I never had a large hat to size one in,but I do now.The Dobbs is a 7 3/4 largest size I've ever found.Then I will put it up for sale.It will be a great stingy for someone.

I was having a bad week, but a hat was delivered today! This is usually somewhat stressful as my wife never knows until the box hits the porch. Her anger is offset by the joy the hat brings me. :D

Not today though. No hat joy at all as it doesn't fit! I did my due diligence, but still have a size 7 hat in hand (and I'm a 7-1/2 or 7-5/8).

Ugh... (and it is nicer than the photos show) :(

Darn shame..........I certainly understand......nothing more frustrating........ESPECIALLY when you go to the bother to ask about the dimensions and the seller just cannot get it right:eek:.........I was quite unawares just how many people just cannot use a measuring tape or ruler.:rolleyes:o_O
A toast to Better Times ahead!;)

Total bum out Bob cause that is an absolutely beautiful hat. Maybe you can trade it for a super duper that fits.
