What hat are you waiting for today?

[Rmccamey]

Quite a haul! My mother used to take me to Altman’s when I was a kid—the building still stands.

Very cool

That “⅛” size tag looks newer the rest of the hat. Maybe I’m wrong?

Maybe it is a round tag, Brent, not a keyhole...if they made round ones. I'll know sometime next week for certain!

Come to papa!

You’re on a roll Randy! Or is it a spree?

 

[Rmccamey]

Too much time, not enough sense!

I’m getting a tee shirt with that printed on it.

It probably is a keyhole tag, but sitting lower inside the sweatband.

Thank you, Stefan, you are probably correct on that point.

Just several felt hats that need some cleaning (I'm getting quite a pile of those). Another auction lot with four old straw hats (the only interesting one was a Stetson Saddle Roll that was missing the hat band) sold for more than these did. Go figure.

There was this fine unlined hat:

A similar one with a full lining ... and a Stetson to boot!

Some other random Stetson:

Another unlined hat:

And this thing with a Petersham ribbon. Obviously not as well appointed as the others.

Wow! Sure wish I'd seen that For Sale on the Lounge. Would have saved myself a whole lot of money.

The new hats thread has become more of the 'hats soon to be for sale' thread but decent hats occasionally show up in the classifieds.

Played some hat roulette over the weekend. Picked up this bundle from a seller with 0 sales, poor photos with no inside shots, and vague descriptions.

What could go wrong? :-o

Thanks David!

I'm waiting on a Cuenca Havana Panama Hat I ordered on the recommendation from a member here on the Lounge. Right now I'm waiting on them to finish making it. Here they are working on the sweat band.

Stumbled across the Akubra "Blue Mountains" (special edition for The Hattery in Australia), and loved the color (Bluegrass Green). Couldn't resist, ordered it with expedited shipping. It appears to be in stock, so hope it gets here fast. My first Akubra.

I’ve also been tempted by that one.
