I didn’t get a new hat but it sure seems like I did! I haven’t been able to wear these beauties in a long time, but now they fit like custom after Bob Jessee put in these new ostrich leather sweatbands. He did phenomenal work! Thanks Bob! I’m really excited to get these back into regular rotation.

I’m sure from the whistle and moan my wife thought I was looking at something else.
Great hats!

Very nice! My first impression was that “those should really stick to your head”, which led to “that’s gonna leave a funny hatband mark!” for folks like me with a balding head! I hope you get a lot of healthy, happy wear from these!
Take care,
Regan

I have posted this photo on other threads on the FL but I have not posted to this thread before. Anyway...............from Optimo the John Lee ****** homburg in aubergine that I received after a long wait.
Excellent looking hat. The shark gills look super tight.

Awaiting inspiration. Diamond, C-Crown, Cattleman Crease, ??? Don't know yet.
Stetson No 1 Quality Bone White.
Not sure of age on this one, but from the looks of the sweat it could've been purchased yesterday.

Wow! This one is pristine. Handle it with kid gloves when you crease it.

Thanks Red, my best guess on this one is late 1950's or early 60's.

That’s a nice one for sure. Stars and a leaf and keyhole. I’d go 50s. Def not 60s.

That is a fine # 1 and they are a favorite of mine. I have two but neither in as fine a shape as that one. I'd go 50's as well. Love the three ply ribbon on that one. Both mine have the skinny single ply.

Thanks Bama, I knew it was special when I saw it online, but it was all bashed up in the photos. Opening the box I thought it was brand new, heck some of my brand new hats don't look this new.

I used to think time machine but now I’m leaning towards witchcraft! Killer hat, Justin.
