Hey all! Got an interesting one here- a vtg parabuntal hat I got from Black Sheep Hat Works. Size is 7 1/2.
You know those hatters and clothing brands that charge an arm and a leg for a distressed look fresh off the rack? Well THIS hat comes with that from something I call real life!
So it comes with a couple caveats- it's definitely not in perfect shape, with a small hole on top at the back and some staining. (Character?) That said, it's an insane hat- woven palm and the literally featherweight. All the weight comes from the leather band!
I've come to accept that I'm just not a straw hat guy. I'm also trying to figure out how to price this- I understand that these are rare and when in great condition, they are very, very expensive. Given how rare they are, I'd probably be looking for around $350, which will include shipping ConUS- that's going to be expensive, given that this hat is on the more fragile side. Even better, if you're located in Los Angeles, let's make a deal!
Pics below- the last one shows off the open, linen like texture of the weave and hopefully conveys how light this hat is.
