Darned if I didn't just pull the trigger an a second vintage Snowy River, this time in grey. I was looking at eBay sales to find one similar to my brown one for a female friend, and made a very low offer for one in great shape, with my preferred thin ribbon instead of the leather hatband.

Understood!

She'd fit in one of his shoes.

Horween CXL and Horween Shell Cordovan are two different leathers, both are available in Colour 8. Are you conflating the two? My answer mentions the difference regarding mirror shines.

The crease in mine has been evolving a bit, I lowered the Gus crown a tad and gave the brim sides a bit more curl, and added some downwards tilt to the front of the brim for better sun protection. There's a lot of real estate to work with on the Sombrero! It kept me dry and warm today on a...
