Anyone ever hear of 'Stetson Ermine Series B'?

[Frunobulax]

This begs the question; If you were able to acquire such an unobtainium hat (a new term I found recently), would you even tell anyone or post it on a social media site like TFL or would you keep it at home under lock and key?

Shout it from the rooftops. What's the fun if you can't share?

Unobtanium has been around engineering circles for some time. It adequately describes the properties of a material you need to complete the task, but no such material has yet been discovered.

I don't think so...

Wow! Congrats Max. Too bad about the condition of the case. I have to wonder where that thing has been stored. Hope the hat cleans up perfect!

I might send it to Optimo...

I have never seen the font used for "Stetson" that is in that hat. WOW! Right out of Indian Jones and the Temple of Beaver. Wasn't that a movie about a resourceful guy that beats off all kinds of Ebay bidders and a flaky non-responsive seller to get that ONE hat he was seeking?

I thought Optimo wasn't taking non-Optimo hats anymore. But if Graham will make an exception, this is it.

He says he is eager to restore this one, and has finished restoring my MacLachland Golden Beaver Hundred. Pics in the Optimo thread, Jim
He also says that he will restore hats that are worth restoring, not only mine..

Ah, I don't normally frequent the Optimo thread, but I'll give it a look!

If you send it to Optimo, make sure you specify that the sweatband stays with the hat. Graham has been known to yank the original sweatband out...
