Wow..beautifulThis one gets shipped tomorrow from Michael Gannon. It's a birthday present for my daughter, but I doubt I can wait until August to give it to her!

Even Fed Ex has had to alter their normal practices because of the Coronavirus. Be patient, it'll get there.Anyone else ever have a similar experience? It’s been in transit from Florida for a month! While I don’t blame the seller I’m thinking of asking to cancel the sale...
I can sympathise, Brent. I have exactly this problem with a couple of shipments from the US. Apparently they don't ship directly to Amsterdam (as I would have expected), but anywhere in continental Europe. Usually they stay in transit for only a day or two and then arrive in Amsterdam to go to customs (or not). However since everything has more or less come to a standstill, I've been waiting for six weeks now. USPS says it's been shipped from Chicago but the Dutch postal services haven't picked it up yet, so the packages are in some sort of purgatory right now. The seller is great about it and offered me a refund, but what good is that going to do me? I much prefer to have the hats. Had the same thing happen to me once before when the Italian postal services decided on an early Christmas and kept a package in transit for over a month december last year. Always happens with the nicest hats. Haven't lost a package yet, so I try not to think about it too much (but I still do!).Anyone else ever have a similar experience?

I had one about a year ago coming from CA to FL get stuck in limbo for over a month Only showing it leaving its first hub. Seller kept checking on it with USPS with not much luck other than... it should come soon. I stuck with it cause it was a fairly unique hat at a great price. One day after about six weeks the tracking lit up with Jacksonville, Fl. And it arrived a day or so after.Anyone else ever have a similar experience? It’s been in transit from Florida for a month!

That sweatband is very cool. Beautiful hat. CongratulationsManaged to pick up a bowler in a rare 7 3/4 (UK) size for £35.10 (approx. $43.40) including shipping!
(Just a Homburg left to find, then I'll have one example of every 'main' hat style! Though obviously one example isn't enough ).
Looks good from the outside hopefully, sadly the sweatband might be too far gone and has become detached, shame as it looks like quite a nice band! I'm hoping my Dad and I's combined amateur sewing experience might be enough to be able to sew a new one in, as I'm not aware of any companies that do that in my area of the country in this day and age . Also, no fancy bowler lining sadly!
Interesting that it was originally from a hatter in Liverpool, that's not too far away from me.

Congrats and definitely post pics! I'm in the queue for a Penman Raiders. If everything is still on track I should be hearing from him sometime next month.I spoke with Mike at "Northwest Hats" today and finished up the details on my "Indy Jones" hat. 100% beaver, 7 1/4 Long Oval and "Last Crusade" pinch and styling. Now the hard part.............................is it here yet?
