What hat are you waiting for today?

Waiting on a Navy blue Winchester beaver from Northwest Hats.

Just snagged this "Resistal" out of the bay. No other bidders, so I got it for about $40 with shipping. Might have been able to find a nicer hat at a better price, but I'm needing either a black or silver western soon and this one appealed to me.

Looks like the band is set up for a women's hat, but that's a simple fix.

Or the hat was pictured in reverse.
Nice XXX beaver. Those aren't made for 20 years.

Now waiting on a Mallory Coast-to-Coast I purchased last night from Miamibruno.

I think I did, I was half asleep. I may have ordered a Popeil Pocket Fisherman, I'm not sure...

The Resistol looks nice. The horsehair band is probably not attached - you can loosen it, turn the tails any way you like and then snug up. They'll look good to the side or to the back of the hat. Enjoy!

Nice. Whats your plan for the bash? Are you gonna do your own or have Mike do it?

Looks sweet. Big crown and nice deep flange.

I'm planning a center dent with side pinches.

I think this one have crossed the pond but still some days away from me.

OH NO! another Resistol Stagecoach

I went on a buying spree and I am waiting for;
2 tweed Newsboys from Amicharnel
1 linen " "
1 Beaver fedora from NW hats in Pecan
1 Rabbit shorter brim from NW hats in Granite.
The caps are enroute and Mike said this month for his fedoras. These are my first bespoke hats and I am very excited.

I have no idea if there's a general photo thread, so I'll post these photos here:

That's not me, obviously!

^ That hat really needs a wider brim. Doesn't he have advisers to tell him these things?

 

[Tedquinton]

For the 1st time in a while, I'm also waiting on a new hat. A Northwest Hats fedora. In this case a whippet clone in black cherry. The wait shouldn't be too long as Mike is no longer distracted by the day job! Can't wait!

I'm waiting on a 20x fedora in smoke from Rands Custom hats in Billings Montana. I was fitted in September and it should be here sometime in December. I've already started bugging the mail carrier, she knows when I'm expecting a hat and cringes when she sees me.

you're waiting for Steven Spielbergs hat ?

 

[Motorcyclist]

Waiting on an Akubra Tablelands... It shipped from Australia on 11/2 and tracking shows it made it to NY on 11/5 but it still hasn't made it to my door...

Beaver silverbelly from Mike @ Northwest Hats.Just arrived.

 

[Frunobulax]

Well, I just got off the phone with Jeff @ DelMonico. The Light Gray Stetsonian I ordered in mid-April is reportedly finishing production and they're going to try to get it on the truck to go to CT today. With any luck, my interminable wait for a new Stetson is almost over. I had previously spoken with Mr. DelMonico on 10/6, as he informed me the hat that had come in was not up to snuff, quality-wise, so I told him not to send it. Hopefully, this one will meet their quality standards and make it to my doorstep, likely by Thanksgiving, which is also my birthday. So, I unwittingly bought my own birthday present in April!

I do have to admit, however, that this delay and the waiting has been a big disappointment. Not to disparage DelMonico; heck, thanks to them, I didn't wind up with a hat on my doorstep that wouldn't pass muster. That 6-8 week wait, however, dragged on far too long to be called good business on Stetson's part.

I hope I'm as happy with my Stetsonian as Moon and the others are with theirs. I can't shake a feeling of dissatisfaction here, though, with the process.
