New hats today part 2... Time for a basic black dress hat . This one is a Stetson Key Club Dexter. Really nice Imperial felt and Ultimate finish. 2-1/2" raw edge brim. Moderately firm felt like my other Imperial Ultimate finish hat, stiffer than the Three Forks, but definately way softer than a western hat. Center dent crown. Really nice clean hat... really doesnt need any work other than some dusting. Oh...And it needs a new feather... this one looks like a fighting chicken pecked at it.... Somewhere Ive got a ziplock bag with a few hat feathers waiting to get used

No such thing as too many black hats lol

New hats part 3.... Another black hat. This one a cute little Royal Stetson Downs. 2-1/4" brim with raw edge. Teardrop crown. Moderately light weight and fairly soft felt. This hat looks almost new. nothing but dusting off and just a hair of steam on part of the brim. needed for this one. Its going to be a nice "knock around town" hat when I dont want to risk a nicer hat.

Ill say todays Ebay haul was thumbs up on all three hats! Even the packaging was better than it had to be.

If it wasnt raining, Id take one out for a run somewhere, but I think theyll just stay inside today
