What hat are you waiting for today?

[Cuvier]

Well my wait is almost over. I just got a shipping confirmation. My hat is on its way to Georgia. From there it'll be repackaged and sent to me here in Texas.

Man, I was tempted. I’m curious what shipping from Canada costs you. The unknowns of shipping often keep me from bidding.

I’ll let you know Brent. I’m not taking any of the other hats in the pile.

Excellent find, Brent. Those are superb quality hats.

Every year I usually go through a couple Panama hats and I’m always looking for inexpensive replacements:

Working on it to see if we can make this work.

I've had a Stetson hemp Inwood in Bronze for a couple of weeks now, and I like it so much that I've ordered another one in Turquoise. The web pictures didn't do my current one justice, so I'm anxiously awaiting to see what this one looks like in person. Here's a picture from the web of the one that's coming:

Gannon Open Road custom clone (although I did choose the natural leather sweat color). Being mailed tomorrow. My very first custom hat, and I'll wear it pinched and probably mostly brim up. My Truman hat!

Wow, that sure looks nice.

Y'all are making me jealous. I can't find anything like what your finding. I just need to learn where to look I guess.
I do have something to be excited about. My Cuerca Havana from PHD has just shipped out from Florida. I should have it soon!

Welcome sir. Listen to the threads. Lots of sage wisdom on hats. As to acquiring hats - being alert and available is my advice.

Do share your PHD after it arrives. Cheers, Eric -

I'm listening. I find one every now and then, but usually not in my size, color, or price range.
I did find a nice boater. Looks to be an early century from the looks of it. Only problem was that it was a size 7. I couldn't make it fit. Of all places it was in an antique store in Oklahoma City. The 23rd street antique store.
