What hat are you waiting for today?

FINALLY… the train has left the station… or at least they punched my ticket (charged me their exorbitant shipping fee)

waiting with bated breath

Score! Not nearly enough of those to go around; glad you found one!

Thanks Brent. I believe Bob gave me a heads up on this one. Looking forward to experiencing 7XCB first hand.

There’s a late production size 7 NOS 7XCB on auction now but it would be $200 or more with shipping and I just won’t go that high for that size. I’m glad you got yours, and I love hearing that another member helped you. Bob is a great guy and I love the community spirit this place has.

I think the purchase price makes up for the high shipping. Can't wait to hear what you think about it.

Absolutely it does Bob!

Still though…

me winning the auction…

Me getting the shipping bill at double the winning bid two weeks later.

I’m looking forward to checking it out Bob!

Another breakthrough case… this one the Homburg variant. I may need a HAS booster.

Setting the lounge on fire of late, Joe!

Setting the lounge on fire of late, Joe!

Thank you Gary! Been trying to be more particular of late… but there have been some I just could not say no to.

Stetson 3X:

Late ‘50s early ‘60s? It has the embroidered last drop liner. The font of “S T E T S O N” on the front of the sweatband makes me think this was toward the end of the decent 3X Beaver hats.

Nice one Joe! I wouldn't worry about the booster. Although there may be side effects I don't think HAS is fatal.

Bob, you have to be pleased at what this hat sold for! Hope you plow your profits back into more hats!

Yes, very pleased. God bless Whippet buyers! These two are going to Japan and China (to a fellow I've sold to before). My wife is happy they didn't fit me (and that I can pay off her MacBook Pro).

I did buy one other hat.

Sweet!

This little number is on its way.

Last of a five hat month, for me, and probably should be the last for a while.

I love your optimism

Very cool hat…

You certainly should, Steve. It's a beauty.

My New Year's resolution is to wear my Bowlers more often.

Mine is to get my first bowler.
(Size 60 if anyone is wondering!)

Fulfilling my New Years resolution, thanks to Stefan @steur.
Have you fulfilled yours, @Steve1857?
