No particular order here and I'm a little late to the party on this thread, but maybe this will give it a jump start for others.

Great lineup, Scott. A couple I forgot you had.

Time to reevaluate my top ten. I can't see this list changing much in future, because I have been very lucky and found my grail hats.
Finding the first two was just a dream, especially the MacLachlan, because I wasn't really sure it existed.


Most of these weren't on the list when I last contributed to this thread.

1. Stetson Ermine. I haven't seen the equal to this felt in density, strenght, and hand.
Weirdly thin.
Restored by Optimo.

Max; You have me at number 1. This is just a gorgeous hat. The pics convey the excellent felt quality. This hat is truly special. Congrats sir. Hats of this quality cover #1-10 IMO.

Thanks for sharing this and the other hats of your very special hat collection sir. Cheers, Eric -
