What hat are you waiting for today?

[BobHufford]

A fine vintage, indeed!

I know it probably won't fit me -- but it might fit you. I can probably get what I'll have in it back out at some point, but I just wanted to own it for a bit.

Thought you might have grabbed those… it was me who dozed this time.

It's only fair Joe.

Today was finally the day...this hat was finally out for delivery and it showed up early in the day, but I had to wait 'til I got home from work. I've never shaped a hat before...working on a bit of a teardrop and need to get a hat brush now, too.

1940's to early 50's Stetson Nutria Quality. First 2 pics show original crown shape. Last pic shows after reshaping by seller.

Nice! I like the original "center fire" crease.

Nice! I really like that liner color.

I think it's closer to your size than mine.

Very cool looking Stetson velour, Mike. Nice catch. I'm surprised it was on Etsy for months or is it just us Europeans who are into velour hats?

It's a very small size, supposedly, and the ribbon is fraying in one spot, and you can't really make out any details of the exterior of the hat, so those things may have all contributed. But I have a sometimes bad or expensive habit of letting my curiosity get the best of me, long past the time when common sense has told me to leave a hat alone.

Oh, I suffer from that syndrome too, Mike. I see it more as a hat rescuing service, though

I bet I'm not the only one look forward to hearing your review of it, not to mention better pphotos. It's quite a unique looking Stetson, so well rescued, sir!

Nice. I have a special place in my heart for those Exposition medals!

I couple of westerns I haven't tried yet. At least one is marked as my size. A Colorado Mountain Hat Co. and a Resistol Diamond Horseshoe 20X.
