7 1/2 XLO Stetson Open Road, vintage Canadian, Optimo Refurb $115 CONUS

[gtdean48]

Marked as 7 1/2 Extra Long Oval, fits my 7 5/8 noggin.
Bought from estate via antique dealer, no liner & sweat was totally gone. I got 3 from same owner.
Has fading around the crown where the sweat is.
Optimo did total refurb = cleaning, new ribbons, new sweatband, new liner....that cost me $100
Was going to use it for a beater but been in the box ever since. Somebody could use it.
Asking $115 with CONUS shipping included.

This is a great hat. If I truly am on your ignore list then I do not expect a response, but if not, then I am interested.

I've bought several hats from Tom and had him work on several others and I if you get one from him it's gonna be as good or better than new. This is a sweet one!

Thanks for the props Terry.
After further inspection, it looks like Optimo did not change out the ribbon work.
These are original & have same character to them.
Here are some more photos...

Darn

Helluva price for a helluva good hat. Don't check my computer often enough, then grouse about
missing the good ones...if there are any more 7 1/2's kicking around, I'm in the hunt-
