Three great new hats Max. I think that La Salle is my favorite, because of the rarity.


Now this looks like an older one. The address, though hard to see, is not just "New York" on the liner logo. Can't wait to see this one in detail. It should be something really special.
Yes, that is why I decided on the LaSalle.
My brother in law will bring them to me next week.

Got my wide-brimmed Cavanagh!
Again, I have to post a collage pic, because the ones I got from the seller's email are too heavy.

Glad you got this one Max.
I think you will really enjoy it.
Can’t say i’ve ever seen one like this in black. Classy!

What is sterling beaver?

This Miller Bros. "Sterling Beaver" was a gift from @Michael R as well (thanks buddy!!). Not sure of the beaver content, but the gold "wallpaper" applied to the end of the box implies that it was their top-of-the-line hat. This is the second crease I've put in it and it shapes easily. The felt feels amazing.

As Michael found it:

I had no idea about this hat. FANtastic! Generous @Michael R. and you sure did a great job bringing it back to life, Bob!

Isn't it just the most fun buying hats for other people? I went nuts buying hats for my daughter when she said something about starting a collection of her own.... FUN! and what a great hat, Michael!

Yeah Doug , What's really great is seeing the Hats worn and enjoyed . Those Sterling Beavers are really nice , maybe I'll find one for me one day . My buddy's kids have a bunch I bought them and they wear them all the time . My Nephew has loved my Hats and I've given him several . He sent the Rand back to Ritch Rand in Billings to be Cleaned and Re-Blocked so he could wear it on his Wedding Day (10/20) , and the ETA is Monday for him to get it back . He said he would take pictures for me to Post on FL for everyone to see .

I have a hat (don't recall if it is a Stetson or a Resistol) with color Sterling.
Would it be the same?
