@Snowman - I just got my first 25 in this week, as well. ;) My new fave OR.

Good luck with the cleanup—mine was just very dusty but really took steam well.

Cheers,

David

Posted the backstory of the retailer last week, but finally came around the hat hat itself.

Super Panizza in a grey colour called lampo (lightning). Size 56 with the raw edge brim at 7cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Fairly sturdy felt that seems set in its ways, but can be convinced with some steam. Nice hand on it though. The liner is very nice as well. Very happy with this one.

1982 Shudde Bros Beaver Supreme. 3 1/2 inch brim, about 5 3/4 inch open crown. Probably the dirtiest hat I've ever bought. This was a curiosity purchase as much as anything. I had no idea when Shudde used the Beaver Supreme name, but guessed this hat was at least 1960's or after because of the fake little belt-type plastic hatband, which to me is an insult to a hat of this supposed quality. Turns out the sweatband has a date handwritten on it. The felt seems good for a 80's hat. Can judge better after the hat is cleaned.

Very nice! That's what I call a jackpot hat.
Thank you! Couldn't disagree.
Among the very best vintage Westerns to ever turn up & appear on the FL, BB. Especially in a size >7-1/8. Very nice!
Thanks, HJ. It's a style I've long admired and to find it in an old Stetson is special to me, especially in this condition and Size!
What a find, Greg!
Thank you.
Wowza, Greg!!!!
Much appreciated Charlie and even better to hear from you!

Holy smokes, Greg! What a find. Now that's the sort of western hat I would love to add to my collection. Congrats.
Thank you, Stefan. You really upped your game with the Open Road. Seeing you in a hat like this would show Mads Mikkelsen who the real Danish cowboy is.
Gotta praise THIS hat Greg!
The ultimate 3X embroidered Last Drop Stetson. The wide ribbon sets it far above our normal examples.
The pinch, the crease, the curl….definitely a Bamaboots Classic.
Perfection!

Thank you, Bowen. It really is one of those hats we've seen in the vintage catalogs where I've wished 100 times that I could find a hat "like that'. And I mean just. For it to be in as great a shape that it is and to have the bells and whistles, (liner and ribbon size) that I find special in a western, was an I'll be damned moment when I saw it for sale. The liner has no tip protector or evidence of ever having one either. I've never run across that before though I imagine there are examples I've missed.
