Some places treat this whole week as a holiday, depending on the number of employees, etc. You might not hear anything from them until next week. I've never purchased from them, so I can't give you any information about how good their communication is with customers.

Hmm... Thank you for explain that.
That's a concept of holidays that does not exist here.

Got a reply. High grade wool. The factory do not make it on other felt, only wool.
And they do ship overseas but do not know how much, only estimate a cost. Instead of going directly from the factory to me, it will have to go to DGW and then to me.
Don't know if I want a wooly even that big...

Well, even if it shrinks there's still going to be a LOT of hat left over.

Yes but I don't own a block to reblock it if it shrinks.

This weekend finds.Two hat boxes.The Stetson box came with insert also a black Royal Stetson hat,really dirty.No size,I think maybe 7 1/4.The Bonds box has inserts for two hats,I'll put these boxes back to work.A black wool top hat,it was cheap couldn't pass it up.Last a hat block With a damaged flange.I've been watching this at a antique store for more than a year.They finally dropped the price.It's a 5 3/4-71/4-52.The flange is a 7 3/8-2 1/8 it's pretty beat up on one side.

Found this hat pin with some sewing needles in a hat box I picked up at a flea market a while back.

Found this Royal De luxe Stetson in a Cavanagh box at a indoor flea market last weekend for $21.Guessing it's a late 50s hat.

Last week was a good week,found 2 hats at a antique shop.It would have been a great week...because I found my 1st Whippet,for a ridiculous low price.Also found a very nice Mallory,The Dallas.The reason this was not a great find is...both hats are 7 1/8,I'm a 7 1/4 long oval.Always wanted a Whippet but was never willing to pay the price.My dilemma is should I try to stretch the hats to fit me.Should I let it go?I know these Whippets can get a high dollar on Ebay.I think this could be a early 50s hat The logo on the sweatband has the leaf,the logo on the sew in liner has the stars.That's only a guess at the age.

I'd put that Whippet up on the Bay. After you sell it, you'll be able to buy three other quality vintage lids.

that Dallas is sweet as hell too

is there a size tag or any labels under the sweat ?
I'll go out on a limb and guess early 50s by what I see right now but those things I mentioned would help narrow it down a bit
