What hat are you waiting for today?

[steur]

Just arrived and off to the freezer, but first a quick shot fresh out of the box:

I feel like I hit the trifecta. Two rare Borsalino models and two rare colors, one of which is a previously unseen green. Even Stefan (@steur) might approve.

Great catch, Jonathan. Can't wait for the reveal.

I’ve been quite pleased with all of my Akubra hats from the price point and quality. I added two Stylemasters to my collection today. I’ve really wanted a Bluegrass Stylemaster for awhile and the Acorn Fawn was also appealing to me. So I figured I would get both colors. I’ll post pictures when they arrive from Hatsdirect.

Waiting for an Optimo

Can anyone give me a rough idea on how long the wait would be for a hat from Optimo?

Anywhere from 4-8 weeks.

If he could see it. (no offense meant Stefan).

Congrats on the three run homer Jonathan! Love the green one.

Merrimac Hat Corp - J.C. Penney Co

Curiosity got the better of me after looking at this one for over a month.

I know wool is not the felt of choice around here... but this old Merrimac was just very interesting to me.

Buzzing my hair off in anticipation that I can make this 7-3/8 work and finally have a Strat I can wear.

A sneak peek....

I made a recent find of 7 German Hats probably mostly later 1950s. It will be a long wait (due to shipping issues from Germany to USA) for these to arrive so I thought I show the auction photos.

Brent, They said most were 58cm but I am not sure about that so anything is possible.
