I arrived in Texas to pick up my hats. Will return to Mexico City tomorrow with my precious cargo. Eighteen are from Anthony, three from eBay.
I finally know what vintage felts are like. It is true, many felts feel like tissue! Wonderful.

Did you get a second bed to sleep on? Wow! What a haul.

My fiddy-dollar O'Farrell arrived. Fits great! No markings behind the sweat band to date it, but probably from the mid-1980s. Feels quite "beavery".

Will probably flatten the brim. With the high fenders it looks a bit too "Freewheelin' Franklin"...

I wouldn’t have told anyone until the hats were home and locked in your safe. Lounge members are not to be trusted with that kind of temptation.

I’m looking for a review of each of them!

Oh oh....all those hats on the bed! BAD luck...gotta spit into each one now or take em outside and stomp on the them. Cowboy superstition says always bad luck to put a hat on the bed. :)

That’s got to be one of the best deals I’ve heard of.

Well, in the words of Indiana Jones, "Don't expect much" of my review. I am very much a newbie still. Enthusiasm, yes, knowledge, not yet.

I didn't know that. My list of superstitions is already long enough. I swear every time a black cat crosses my path something bad happens. Last time, in Wisconsin, I hit a deer not one minute afterwards. Fortunately, I was already forewarned by the cat and was driving slowly. Both the deer and my car walked away relatively unscathed.

That's why I didn't mention the name of the city in Texas I was in. :)
