I've been looking for a Sovereign for a while. This one seems really nice and clean.

If this is your "slowing down" mode, the site would need a new server if you ever decide to "speed up", Max! Wonderful additions, all.

I fully intend to, Stefan, but I keep finding the hats that were on my list. And some dream hats I didn't know existed. I just refrained from buying two Optimos on eBay at a pretty good price, so I am getting better...

WOW! Now you’re competing with Justin too! Hats of that vintage with the sweat and and liner looking so pristine are rare. What a find! Way to go, Max!

I was counting the hours and minutes for a week, Brent.
I doubt even Dr. Who could compete with Justin. [emoji3]

rather quite. I don't interpret it as intentional false advertising tho, perhaps the seller was, as we say in the old country, gypped.

It's not false advertising. The hat has "Stratoliner" stamped on what's left of the sweatband; if the seller is not terribly knowledgeable, he/she wouldn't know the difference. It didn't come in that box, though. And I can't tell from the pics whether the pin is an original or repro.

I know what it is. I thought I was going to complete my list very slowly, because I was limited to finding hats in my size. Now that I have Ignacio, I am finding several that were on my list faster, because the size doesn't really matter that much. I still stay away from 6 7/8s and maybe 7 5/8s, but I will be done sooner. Maybe an exceptional hat after that occasionally, but that's it.

This one is a beaut Max. The color in the liner logo and on the sweat is interesting. It almost looks like the previous owner darkened the stampings with a fountain pen. This one will be quite a study in old hats.

It is the only hat I have bought that I intend to keep only to look at. I can't imagine there will be many more. :)
