Very impressive Stefan. That finish is wonderful. I have never seen that Trusize in such detail. This hat is one of your best Americans.

Greetings Stefan:First off: many many thanks go out to Richard Morgan for trading this hat with me (as I'm lucky enough to have the pin-head that is able to wear it). Dobbs gamebird in dark grey heather and longhair finish. This one has all the whistles and bells because it has the "trusize" feature too and a gilt edge. Anything else? Yes: the liner is embroidered! This hat has presence: a wide (almost 3 inch) brim, a pronounced flange and it insisted on the diamond crease. I'll need two postings for this.

Jim, thanks. I think it was Matt who posted the ad for the mixtures and I believe he has one too. Yours is a different colour isn't it?
An extraordinary hat.
Mine is not identified as a "Mixture" on the sweatband. Although, it is a heathered felt mixture.
Did he have a time machine to get that hat? It looks factory fresh.

Gentlemen, thanks you for the nice comments. I have found and traded some fine American made hats before, but this one is certainly up there with the best of them. While I'm usually a size 7, I find that American hats in a size 6 7/8 tend to fit me after a little stretching.Greetings Stefan:
That is just beautiful, just beautiful.
Is 6 7/8 your best fit size, if i may ask?
Be well. Bowen
Very nice. One of these is on my short list. Can't wait for noggin shots Fred.It's here! Three-plus months since I ordered it, my Akubra Campdraft in Silverbelly arrived today. Just as I'm heading out of town on business for a few days. I guess I'll have to wait until I return to crease and shape it. I don't even have time to see if the fit is right or not!

Just enjoy the anticipation.
Impressive! A little brushing and you are good to go!This old Beaver Brand black western arrived today. It’s as stiff as I expected, but it has a great hand. “5X Genuine Fur Felt.” The markings on the sweat are almost completely rubbed off but the leather is soft and supple. The liner is a bit stained, but overall it’s in great shape. I don’t know what I’m doing with it....
Came with the original box too:

My Resistol San Antonio came while I was camping last week. Here it is, out of the box. Haven't brushed or steamed it yet. The felt is nicer than anything else I have. I will post photos on Resistol Roundup and the Other Open Roads.
