Post New Hats Here!

[Hurricane Jack]

Just arrived, 1970's 3X OR in dark gray. Dusty but in excellent shape, the best description for color would be Stetson's current Caribou I think. It was double boxed & came in the original 1965 Stetson Centennial box (not shown) which is only in fair to poor condition, but I'm happy to have it.

In need of some dust control & a bit of shaping before better pics will be taken.

That is a fine looking hat Jack!

There is more shades of grey that's why?

Holy Dinner table? Who did you all invited for a try on fittings?
Beautiful array of nice wearing topper's and lid's there for sure.
Which one are you thinking of selling?

This can be my future checklist honestly!
Thanks for sharing sir!

Who is Ignacio?

Ignacio is Max’s local hatter. Apparently he can work magic with hats and along with reblocking and other mundane tasks he can get hats ranging from 6 7/8 to 7 5/8 to fit Max. Voodoo no doubt.

Who is Ignacio?

He is my hatter in Mexico City, Alan. He is the only hatter left in Mexico City. He is 60 years old now, and he worked in his father's hat repair shop since he was six. He reblocks my hats while I wait, and puts them on his conformer. It takes him about 45 minutes per hat. If the hats are too large, he cuts a piece of the sweatband off, if they are too small for me, he adds a small piece. When I leave, I have a custom hat every time.

So do I. Have to take some to my hatter tomorrow, especially the ones that are too large.

Love these big hauls. Kid in a candystore experience. Another hat vault in the works then?

Customs seems to like the hats that are sent to me from across the pond. Hats within the EU make it to my doorstep without customs, so this one made it fairly quickly.
Barbisio in Carnagione colour. Twotone puggaree style ribbon. Bound brim at 7cm and crown 10,5cm at the pinch. It was listed as a womens' hat and without a size. I bid on it anyway, taking a chance and it turned out to be a size 59. It will be part of the next Holland-Italy exchange, because the ribbon treatment is different enough for it to make it back to its homeland. Nice very thin felt with a lovely soft hand. Would have loved it to fit me, but it will be right at home and in excellent and abundant company with Danieles' collection.

I heard a rumor that Max @drmaxtejeda was building a panic room lined with the built-ins from the, now closed, Bernie Utz Hats in Seattle. When he feels stressed he can just step into the room and look at his hats until he feels better.

I know I would feel better looking at his hats...

I don't think I would: all of those great hats and none of them in my size! I like that idea of building a hat store room inside your house though. I'll tell my wife (standing at a safe distance).

Yeah, I'm starting to envision Scrooge McHat, sitting in his vault playing with them all.

Bowen's living room is like that.

Great Barbisio, Stefan. Wonderful ribbon.
