What hat are you waiting for today?

[Tukwila]

Running errands and grabbing lunch with my daughter in a favorite NW Hats grade 12 Cuenca Panama hat. Last free week before starting the new paralegal gig.

I like that one. Nice color. Nice ribbon. Looks bulletproof as well!
I refrain from asking how much something costs so...what would be the market value for this such hat from Rosie??

Thanks B
Rosie threw this in the same box as the first hat I ordered for 180 AUD.
Peace

Congrats on the hat, the daughter, and the gig (not necessarily in that order).

This Playboy should arrive in the next few days.

Now all the women on the Island will really have something to talk about.

Very interested to know the details on this one, Brent.

It’s a Phoenix in dark sage. When I have it in hand with photos in good light I’ll post it in the Phoenix thread. I wish I was closer to Tennessee because the wait is killing me.

My deliveries from Ecuador come through DHL. It costs a little more, but you have a better chance of receiving the items you purchased.

If/when I buy a high end hat direct, I'll make sure to go that route. But this is an inexpensive hat to test sizing and I went with the cheapest shipping since I didn't want to pay more for shipping than the hat cost.

Warm weather has me thinking about straw. I'm not a fan of "shantung", but I like the style and venting of this Stetson,, so this one should be here Monday. From our friends at one2mini ranch. Their shipping speed is exceptional.

I’ve admired those Shantung ORs too. I’m looking forward to your review.

I was going to pass on this hat but I’ve been curious about the difference between “Stetson Royal De Luxe” and “Royal Stetson De Luxe.”

After I fondle it for a bit I’ll put it in the classifieds in case there is some 7 1/4 Homburg wearer who is interested.

I don't buy many hats these days and when I do they're generally something that's just plain fun and/or unusual. They also pretty much have to fall into the "I wouldn't take the time to make that hat for myself" category. That's why, when I saw this vintage Dorian safari hat, I just had to pull the trigger. I suspect (though I'm not sure) that these hats were made largely for the tourist trade and this one's just campy enough to make it to my hat rack. I'm looking forward to seeing it up close and in person.

It's in Max's size and he's picked up the homburgs in a big way lately...

That looks like it's gonna be beautiful.

Did you ever receive this hat, or did they decide to take it on another intercontinental tour first?
