I've bought this mister freedom cap, showed up in my size. been meaning to check one out, i like the style

I forgot that this site doesn’t allow even the buyer access to the pics after purchase and I didn’t archive them. I seldom show more than the sweatband in this thread anyway. :p

The O’Farrell is around a size 7-1/8 and I ‘m hoping that the “across” measurement of the Montecristi from the Panama Hat Co. of Hawaii is the width. Worth a gamble for a $30 hat (I had a $15-off coupon).

1989 Rand's 8X Beaver. Brim looks just shy of 5 inches and open crown looks about 6 1/2 inches.

I ordered another Agnoulita. I got a taller crown, thinner ribbon, contrasting ribbon and binding. So it will be set up more like a thin ribbon hat like Pic no. 2

Hufvud is all over my radar since I've been catching up on a few threads, so I ordered a 50X Bogie. The crown is the standard 4 3/4". Brim will be 2 7/8", not the normal 2 3/8". Sudan Brown binding, 6mm. The ribbon is a 1" Charcoal. So will look similar to this but with a thinner ribbon instead. All I need is one Bacall and I'll have a pair of stunners.

Champ Supreme 4X 100 percent White Coney. There are a couple others of this same type of hat that have been posted on the Lounge over the years.

I almost went with a smokey lavender trim for the binding, but I didn't have 'true grit', as they say. I'm really excited to see and handle this 50X Emerald Gray felt.

Laugh if you must, but I'm done buying for the interim. I got 3 coming and my addiction is sated. I think it took 3 tries to reach the best maker, and felt and trim color combo. I not only got my feet wet, but I jumped all the way in. The maker said 2 to 3 months I recall, so it will be a while. The blue agnoulita comes Thursday, fingers crossed. I hope his navy is dark enough for me.

La Salle western hat, the only cowboy type La Salle I've come across. Said to have 3 inch brim and 6 inch open crown. The seller interprets the sweatband writing to mean this is a pure beaver hat.
