What hat are you waiting for today?

[deadlyhandsome]

I’ve seen this for a long time and today I made the seller an offer that was accepted. It’s a great green and since it’s already missing it’s sweatband I think it will make a fun project hat.

No idea. The seller never had the hat when the sweatband was attached.

The seller didn’t know the size. According the the measurements it’s close to a 7 3/8 but I have no confidence in seller’s measurements.

In spite of the discussion of wool hats a couple of pages back, I pulled the trigger on this Gamble & Gunn "New Orleans" Pork Pie:

Curious to see what color it really is because their website lists it as "Slate Grey", but it looks tan in their photos to me. Two things are certain--first, it'll be a little too large for a snug fit; second, that feather is getting plucked. Other than that, we'll see. Not my first wool felt, probably won't be my last.

Well, my luck is still holding. I received the hat I ordered from Gamble & Gunn yesterday. Was it grey? Was it tan? Nope. Black. They sent me a black hat. And eBay's "returns" feature is demanding at least one photo, so I'll have to do that tomorrow...well, later today.

I've grown quite fond of Marathons, and that's my favorite logo. Great pick up.

Bought a lady's hat and some scarves. They came with a hat block. It was on a local auction so only a short drive.

Thanks Joe. Yeah ... just hoping the size is Punti (based on the overall dimensions they listed and a couple other clues) or I'm going to have a tiny display hat. I figured I can recoup my costs if it comes down to that need.

I’d say you have a good chance. Seems hats smaller than 6 3/4 are about as rare as hats larger than 7 5/8.. though admittedly less desirable.

Good thing I've been growing my hair out. This might work ...
