A full restoration is currently $50 plus $20 for the bound brim plus shipping.Awesome, bold look there, Mike (er, I mean Rodkins . . .). Are Parker's and Optimo's prices comparable for a total refurb?

Here is a Stetson Bantam I fished out of the bay some time ago...
I sent it to Parker at Falcon Park Hattery and he did a fine job.
Here is my new Bantam...
I would say that Parker and I chose the dark ribbon and binding together The original ribbon color was black ( the inside color was black when it came off) but I suspect the brim binding was not.Did you choose the dark (black?) ribbon and binding, Mike?
Thanks, Alanvery spiffy!
Here is my new Stetson 7X Clear Beaver Open Road
Same seller, same vintage fair, 3 weeks later.
Looks like you have found a good source there.
This is the last of her stack of hats, apparently. I also got a great 1930s British shirt from her for peanuts. The same vintage fair also threw up a very rare light brown, 1935 dated suit that fits me perfectly.
