And then were three (well, five counting the flat caps). The FED IV and flat caps are going with to Asia and I need the other two straws to finish packing out. One week to go (six days and a wake up) - still a lot to do in this house.

Counting furs, straws, wools, canvas, berets, caps and crushers, I have about 75 hats in total. This is the storage for about 60 of them. 10 of the grail hats are in a closet at my family’s house.

Feels weird to be down to one fur felt, but this is the one possibly for the rest of the year - Akubra Federation IV in heritage fawn.

Thank you for posting a photo of the paper label. It looks like "Whippet" next to "Form". I only have record of one other Stetson - Mayser "Whippet". It's possibly mid to later 1950s so it's an earlier one.

I appreciate your input ! The Whippet is a favorite of mine even though they were only Royal Quality here in the USA, I like the look. This hat deserves the Excellent moniker in my opinion and has quickly become one of my favorites !
* if I understand correctly, you're saying my hat is earlier than mid to late 1950s ? Amazing how well some of these hats stand the test of time.
