My media buyer came into the studio and tried on every hat I have. (Only seven.) After a few minutes she pointed to my grey Royal Stetson and said "I want one just like that one."

This is what I came up with,

Item number: 280095993246

I steamed it, brushed it, shaped it, it's very close.

Sorry I can't figure out how to attach the hyperlink without routing everyone to my account!

Don't know how to cancel the thread. Oops.

Looks good--great wide ribbon! So, did she like it?

What I do to post auctions that have ended is to do a copy of the item number, log out, then do a search on the item. It'll come up, but since you are logged out it won't bring up the item in your account. Then copy and insert the link using the link tool.

To post just a photo of the item do a right click on the photo you want to post and chose Properties. Copy the link from the properties page and paste the link into the Insert Image tool. It'll come out like so:

Don't know, just got it on Wednesday. We haven't hooked up. She sounds pretty excited. It's neat bringing in a new recruit, I'm excited for her.

Thanks for loading the picture Tango Yankee.

Thanks guys..

I'm puzzled by the logo in the lining. Maybe you can help.

It's a Knight's Helmet atop a sheild and beneath it on a scroll are the words:

PRO REGA ET PATRIA

It's covered in clear plastic.

There's no brand name anywhere else.

Just a store stamp from Marysville, Tennessee and Long Oval on the size tag, which is 7. Her size.

Interesting. The latin translates to Fatherland or homeland---you know a person's native country. :D
That puzzles me as well. I have never seen it before. [huh]

The pharse means "For King and County". Not sure if that helps.
Can you post a photo of the crest? I would suspect that it's a Regmental hat
or perhaps a club hat from a club England. Try an image search using the phrase.
You may be able to match the crest up with an image from the Internet.
Odd that it has these characteristcs and a US maker.
