What hat are you waiting for today?

[Hurricane Jack]

Stetson Boss of the Plains 3X under license by Akubra arrived late afternoon.

And guess what I found still attached but folded behind the sweat? A black & gold keyhole size tag for 58 cm. Sellers measurements were way off. Looks like it is a 7-1/4, maybe a 7-1/8 now.

Great hat, just a bit dusty. I'm disappointed! I'm anxious to iron the brim & do some documentation but need to contact seller on Monday first. 3-1/2" RE brim X 5-3/4" or 6" OC.

I'll get better pics & measurements tomorrow. If anyone is interested let's talk before Monday - Tuesday.

I'm seeing a theme here. Couldn't pass them up at less than $5 each. Size? Someone's size I'm sure!

Well dang. That is a cool and rare hat. I'm disappointed for you as well.

I can't imagine Stefan. I could send all (four!) your way and maybe you could find someone.

Thanks Bob. I can see how a Seller might not dig behind a sweat but what I can't understand is how they can't read a measuring tape & get accurate measurements.

I'm still bummed; gonna go have breakfast. This was taken last night with flash.

Conservatively I measure 7.75" L, 6.5" W & a circumference of 22.469, making it currently just between sizes 7-1/8 & 7-1/4. The sweat & all stitching are good so I'm sure it could be nudged back to 7-1/4.

I've been searching awhile now for a decent OR Twenty Five, I may have found it....should be here next week. Fingers crossed.

Looks nice and clean.

Nice hat. Puts me in mind of a homburg with a wider brim.

Nice! I posted about that one in another thread and almost bought it about week ago. The same seller had a 50's sovereign quality that I did end up purchasing. Hope I chose correctly! I would love to see some photos and hear what you think about it when it arrives.

Got a shipping notice and some pics from Jonathan Cordova. My Abaca straw cap is on the way! I asked for a 2-3/4" brim on mine.

[Bushman]

Oh that's a work of art. I'd almost be afraid to wear it.

 

[Tukwila]

Abaca is a tough, plant based fiber that wears well. I don't want to stain it with anything, but I won't be afraid to wear it.

I don’t expect to see it for a couple of months as it’s going directly to VS for some work.

A nice little [late?] 50s Mayser should be arriving from Germany in about a week and a half (will need a good clean though mind you!)

I really like those coffee, taupe colors.

Very nice. I’ve yet to find a vintage Mayser in my size, but it’s on my list.

If Steve or Stephan can't find one, they don't exist!!!
