Thanks Lefty and Alan! They measured correctly and the hat conforms perfectly. Other than minor mildew its in great shape, sweat stitching all intact.

This one was actually sent from within the USA. Seems to be a Beaver felt in extraordinary condition for its age.

and another straw that arrived today... Dobbs genuine panama - needs a new ribbon and some de-greening, but the straw is in good shape and the crease is nicely done.

This pork pie came in with perfect felt but was pretty dirty and the sweatband was rotten. Since I got it for a song, I had some budget so I sent it to Optimo for cleaning, blocking and sweat band. I think it turned out OK.

better than OK - it's a great look for you.

Robert, Fantastic! Super rare indeed. The outer part of the liner is very interesting.

Fantastic! -> For the others. I can't keep up!

It is easy to see the fine craftman's work with this hat. I like it very much. Great renovation and it looks great on you.

Alan: you are on a roll, my friend.

RLK: beauties

Now you need to get a grey sharkskin suit made to go with that one!! Though I'm not a big fan of Milans or pork-pies, I always liked how they looked on old blue eyes ! NICE, NICE hat Alan !!

and as always, Onward thru the Fog :)
