AHA! Creative accounting, then? Well, I've just posted the Royal in the Classifieds. I really do want that Sovereign, but I'm just concerned about the reaction from She Who Must Not Be Annoyed.
Although, now that I think about it, the couch is actually pretty comfortable... :D
I picked this fedora up last week online, but it turned out to be way too small. I'm hoping someone around here has use for it. It is brown with a brown 2" ribbon and a 2 1/8" upper-welted brim edge. The sweatband seems good but the lining is yellowed and starting to come loose in the hat...
Yeah, thanks Dean and Billy! Looks like I just got way too eager and made a bad purchase as a result. :mad: Caveat emptor, I suppose! Well, maybe someone will want a nice looking vintage hat cheap. A few minutes ago I found a brown 7 3/4 Steston Sovereign on eBay but, having spent the...
Vintage Royal Stetson
In keeping with my recent flurry of hat acquisition I just received a brown Royal Stetson that I bought off Etsy. It's about a 2 1/4" brim with a 2" ribbon.
Here 'tis:
Problem is, I bought it from a super nice young lady who didn't really know hats. She gave me what...
Nope, Spats. I steamed it into a C-crown (or is it "teardrop? I don't know what the difference is.) for now. It took a lot less steam than I thought and took the shape quite readily. I'll probably change the bash later, though. I'm so used to wool hats that are a tad too small and taper...
I don't think that's weird. The t-shirt with button down overshirt is a look I've been rockin' for a couple of years now. I think a decent straw hat would go just fine with that look and shorts. You'll have to send us pics when your Panama arrives.
Crikey!!! I forgot that there's actually a food item by that name. lol Never had one. There is an authentic English cafe a mile or two away, so perhaps I can ask the British ex-pat restauranteurs to make me one.
My new Fed IV pics
Okay. Here are the pics of my new Federation IV.
In the box.
This is the first time I've ever held an open-crowned hat. I'm in Texas so I'm used to Western style (cowboy) hats which are always very stiff. The crown of this one is surprisingly soft.
I...
I just got my first fur felt today!
I ordered a Akubra Federation IV in Moonstone and it finally arrived today. This is just a dry bash, fresh out of the box. Y' know it's raining quite a bit where I live. I may just take it out in the rain sometime this weekend and let Nature help me with...
Woohoo! My first real Panama.
It's finally here! I picked up a Diamante on the Bay from Panama Bob. It was waiting when I got home from work. It's kind of a coarse weave, not ultramegafinosupremo but who cares! It's my first Panama hat.
I picked up a size 62, since my head is actually...
So, it's my understanding that Panamahatsecuador on the Bay is Panama Bob's shop, right? Because I just bought a hat there. Any idea how many weeks until it should arrive in Texas. I'm very exited!
