Incredible collection, and fossil. I love the table, too! @drmaxtejeda
Awesome !!My new arrivals. I will post each hat individually later, as it is 1:43 a.m.
I just returned from the airport.
Closest to the camera in the first picture are the Hückel Clipper and Borsalino Marque Grand Luxe from Steven and Bowen.
I can't thank them enough.
The last picture is of my favorite fossil. I can't resist showing a picture of that as well.

Wow, Max! You're collecting these hats like there's no tomorrow. I've had a few hauls in my collecting period, but nothing remotely like this. I'm looking forward to seeing them all individually.My new arrivals. I will post each hat individually later, as it is 1:43 a.m.

Here are six new acquisitions and one that I believe I posted about several months ago (BOP).
L-R, clockwise from lower left: Burgundy/brown Royal Stetson w/overwelt, Beaver hats 'Major', Mallory 'The Dallas' OR-style, 7 1/2 Akubra 'Bushman', 1910 Stetson Boss of the Plains Fray, 1930's Mitchell, and in the middle a 7 1/2 LO Stetson Playboy.
I spotted the Playboy in the window of a store, being used in a display. Somehow I looked at about twenty hats and quite a bit of clothing before finally asking if I could take a look at the hat in the window. Now I have the self-control to do anything!

Thing is, living in Mexico, if I asked for every hat to be delivered by Fedex, which is the only trustworthy carrier here, I would have to pay more than 100 dollars per package, and then pay about 30% tax when it arrived.Wow, Max!

The hats are spectacular; hats in those larger sizes are breathtaking! Way to go! Hoping for individual photos too.

I like my longhairs, but I prefer them less fluffy, Brent. Nice proportions on this hat. If you need the longhair to lie more flat, you could use a velvet cloth or cushion to smooth it out (like they do with top hats).This is my Players hat
Agnoulita in “Abalone” longhair rabbit fur felt. Swagger not included.

Since it's rabbit fur, could you use a hare brush?I like my longhairs, but I prefer them less fluffy, Brent. Nice proportions on this hat. If you need the longhair to lie more flat, you could use a velvet cloth or cushion to smooth it out (like they do with top hats).
That's Tawny Fawn? I would never have guessed because the color in that photo looks nothing like my Tawny Fawn Fed IV. On the other hand, we're having a discussion in the I love the Fed IV!! thread about the various ways hat colors photograph, so what do I know?Tawny Fawn Akubra Fed IV with a 3 second bash- work in progress
It is really tiring, isn't it?Thanks all. The big hats were a 'huge' surprise find. I have been scrubbing, steaming, conditioning sweatbands, brushing, measuring, etc.,...literally all morning. I will take some individual photos over the next few days as I decide how to crease them and which ones fit.

Sorry, that joke popped into my mind and I didn't want to be tortured by it alone.
