Looking good, Nathan!

Thanks again Randy!

I am determined to get my count down to 90. I have 3 display cases that hold 30 each. Right now I'm at 96 (39 straw and 57 felt). To start whittling down the numbers I'm giving this project hat away. The brim is just too wide for me at 3 1/2" all around. The crown is 4" all around.

I have removed what would jokingly be called the sweatband with the intent of sizing it down to fit me. It's got to be a 7 3/8 and I'm closer to a 7 1/8.

Lucchese Shantung Straw - yours for the cost of shipping.

I keep telling myself that I'm gonna put a sweatband in this hat and use it around the house. But I never seem to find the will to do so. If anybody wants it for shipping cost it's yours. But it will need a sweatband.

A little Dobbs summer straw fedora

to pass along for the cost of shipping. lightweight with a soft feel (not stiff like most modern straw westerns) and a fabric sweat. Labelled as 7 1/4 but fits 7 1/8.

Here is a Yeddo boater. I thought I would get a ribbon and it would be good but it turns out to be too large for me. It's a 7 1/4 and I need a 7 1/8 for a boater. They sit higher on the head and therefore a smaller size it needed. Anyway, If somebody wants a project hat here it is. The sweatband has been replaced so you don't need to worry about that. The price is the cost of shipping.
