What hat are you waiting for today?

[Hat and Rehat]

How might that be? Sorry for the delay, I’ve been away.

Long enough that I don't quite remember the earlier discussion.
I believe you wear small hats. I do have a few around. I don't recall if there was any earlier discussion about styles though.

Waiting on my new Fasionable Hats "Capitol" in grey with black band. Been wanting a grey, seems that this color goes with more outfits. 2 3/4" brim and 4 5/8" crown

Patiently waiting for this early-mid 30’s Standard Quality. Bought a nice case for it too!

Just got this from Kpear. So now I'll have one in Imperial and one in Heritage. One will be my beater and the new one can be my pretty one.

Thanks, Panos. Had to dig a little in my pockets for this one, but I figured I should stop swooning over the ones posted here and put my money where my mouth is.The price wasn't all that bad, but the import taxes added a chunk.

Wayne, Bowen, thanks. Can't wait for it to arrive (might take a couple of weeks maybe). It's all Bowen's fault really, posting all these fabulous looking Gorasgu hats here.

I can’t wait to see that felt up close. It looks amazing.

In another thread I expressed my frustration in finding hats of the right color, given that model photos rarely show a hat's true shade. Well, I found the last remaining Pantropic Skylar in Burnt Orange today and ordered it. The price was reduced, and I figure that if it isn't what I want when it arrives, I'll deal with it then. The shipping label has been printed, so it should be here in 3-7 days.

For all those waiting in suspense both hats arrived today. Out of the boxes and off to the deep freeze, but not before some pictures. First up, a stingy pettable nutria Barbisio:


And on the other end of the spectrum, a big ol' wooly Sears Carlsbad cowboy hat pre-WWII:


More details to come in respective threads in the coming days, so stay tuned.

I finally ordered a Cedar Brown CD from the Hattery last week, and received a notice that it had landed at JFK over the weekend. Now I wait for the hat gods to clear it in customs and send it on south. The weather's finally starting to cool off a bit, so soon I can wear it with a nice brown Harris Tweed I picked up or my brown horsehide long halfbelt. Really looking forward to it.

It's a nice hat. Deep, rich brown. I think you'll like it.

Thanks. Ever since I ordered it I've been doing the requisite, idiotic re-viewing of the few paltry images on the web (most of them from here) and wondering how it looks on the head of the baggage-handler's brother in Bensonhurst. I always do this.

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.

Hi, Crabman here, I noticed that a few months ago you bought and then returned this BOTP hat, because it was too
small of a size for you. My hat size is about a 57, so I was thinking about buying the hat, still available on e-bay.
My question is, did you notice if there were any strong odors, like mildew or tobacco odors? I know there is some
minor moth damage, which doesn't bother me, but the seller is kind of vague about odors. Any info. related to this
would be greatly appreciated. ( Thanks, Crabman )

Hi Crabman, just saw your question. Sorry for the slow reply. The hat did not have any musty or tobacco odors. In fact I recall no odors at all. The Seller is a Russian woman living in FL so maybe she doesn't fully understand your question.

The hat has been stored & was shipped in a box too small for the brim, so it will need to be ironed or pressed into shape. Unless you want the Stetson box it is in I would probably tell her to keep that box & ship the hat in a larger box.

Other than ironing the brim & the few moth nips the hat has no problems.
