Awesome Awesome Awesome.

Ignacio fit my 1900s 3X and my Stetson Vicuña Bowlers. And my Imperial and all the others.. He is amazing! I'm so glad to see him get some attention he deserves.

Gents, for the work he does and what he charges you can almost break even with five hats and a quick flight South of the border.

All the best Doc, send my regards

I will. I am supposed to call him tomorrow morning. He is going to decide if he wants to work on a Sunday. It took him 3.5 hours to reblock and resize three hats today, but we have a long way to go...

I’m curious if the Stetson Excellent Stratoliner is part of this haul. If so, I’d like to hear your opinion and Ignacio’s take too.

I’m still in awe of the group photo on your table. The stuff of dreams.

I took it to Ignacio today, but we didn't have time to get to it. If he decides to work tomorrow, I will take it to him.
I, myself, was feeling the Stetson One Hundred and the Dobbs Fifty when I got to his shop, so I don't think it was a fair comparison to the Excellent. It wasn't bad... Maybe a little thick and coarse, but as I said, it was hard to judge it next to those two.

^^^i’m betting the Dobbs Fifty gave the 100 notice!!
The Fifty had to be a special run from Dobbs. I mean it was for the 51’ Yankees. No way Dobbs was gonna throw out anything less than their best.

These new hats are just stunning Max. I especially enjoyed the visit with Ignacio. 50, 100 are off the charts. I see them as very special occasion hats.

Agree!

I have to think about that. Certainly they both get dirty very easily.

I've always thought that there is no sense in not enjoying your best, and keeping your best stuff in a drawer or hidden away is almost as if you didn't have your best at all.

But just touching both the Dobbs Fifty and the Stetson One hundred with hands that have not recently been washed leaves a mark, so I guess you're right, Mike. Special occasions only.

The felt of the Dobbs Fifty is better than the Stetson One Hundred's, Bowen. Noticeably better. Best I own, by far.

What can you tell me...uh, I mean us, about this one Dr. Tejeda?

They're all wonderful, but that one caught and held my attention immediately. Yeah, I have unusual tastes.

Great Barbisio, Stefan. Wonderful ribbon.

Thanks, Steve! We'll keep the European hat circulation going.

Outside Ignacio's hat shop, wearing my newly conformed Dobbs Fifty.

Cripes! That is some brim on that hat, Max. Has Ignacio ordered a yacht yet?

My new-to-me Borsalino. Daniele called my attention to the listing on eBay. Thank you, Daniele.

Not so unusual, Z! What a keen eye you have.

It just came out of the white gas bath last night, and it hasn't had a chance to dry.

I put Pecard leather dressing on the sweat before the bath, and will again now. It seemed to help. The white gas bath was necessary, I am afraid.
