Man, I was tempted. I’m curious what shipping from Canada costs you. The unknowns of shipping often keep me from bidding.
Excellent find, Brent. Those are superb quality hats.
Gannon Open Road custom clone (although I did choose the natural leather sweat color). Being mailed tomorrow. My very first custom hat, and I'll wear it pinched and probably mostly brim up. My Truman hat!

Y'all are making me jealous. I can't find anything like what your finding. I just need to learn where to look I guess.
I do have something to be excited about. My Cuerca Havana from PHD has just shipped out from Florida. I should have it soon!
I'm listening. I find one every now and then, but usually not in my size, color, or price range.Welcome sir. Listen to the threads. Lots of sage wisdom on hats. As to acquiring hats - being alert and available is my advice.
Do share your PHD after it arrives. Cheers, Eric -
