Well, per USPS my Resistol San Antonio was delivered to the local post office and picked up by the customer yesterday. I'll finally get a chance to stop by tomorrow to see if there was an error or if they gave it to someone else. . . .

Nice snag Ed! Looks like a good one. Was it the red liner that called to you?

You know it was! .

Hell Doc: those hats...you probably won’t even need to steam them to get them back in shape!! The felt’s very obedient. Just pop em back! You be fine Doc!

Well, I had to fold them, not stack them, but I have about 18 hats fully recovered already, with three to go.

It's hard work, though, Bowen! I was at it for three hours last night, and about eight today.
I am fast becoming competent in the diamond crease, too.
It is amazing how well they respond to brushing and steaming.
And almost all of them are a perfect fit, and the few that are not are only a light stretch away.

Ha ha. It was the same hat. Wanted a mate for the black one. You just gotta love those mis-id’d auctions and gotta pay attention to the photos!! DH.
Wanting and doing the thin thing...down the road.
Joined jacket crowd...err 23 jackets ago...argh!

Hahahaha.
Remember if you want to sell one or both of your Marque Grand Luxe, I got dibs, Bowen.

Sounds to me you’re a lost cause. Too bad, you were a nice guy with some great hats. Now you’re dead to us.

Not until I get the Marque Grand Luxes.

I don't really like Westerns much (except for Lonesome Dove, and that's a novel,) but the liner is awesome.

Just won this auction, through Juan Carlos, my brother in law.
I love the guy. $207.50 for an Optimo. Viva eBay!

I remember when @deadlyhandsome said something similar. Give it time.

I already have a Stetson El Presidente. It is last in my to-wear list, though.
Too cumbersome, loud, and stiff.

I've only seen one on ebay, and it's a stingy.

Nice hat, but pretty large. Not right for every one. I like westerns of smaller proportions, typically early sixties. Some of the 5 1/2 crown and 3" brims may look pretty good on you![emoji16]

USPS... They delivered about ten DVDs to my Son's apartment in NY, then told Amazon they hadn't. I coulda asked Amazon to reimburse me.
Very inefficient and disorganized. And when I request things through them for Mexico, they give it to the Mexican Postal Service, which is even worse!

OK, I will take it in for a trim next time I'm in Texas. Might have to go to Houston soon.

Don’t you dare trim an El Presidente!!
You could prob sell it and get 3 or 4 nice vintage hats. Or just keep it for who knows what times.
