Always wanted one myself. I'll look forward to a comparison with your Stagecoaches.

This should arrive soon
Isn't that your third Billy Kidd?

I know. I have 2 of those The Billy Kidd. A brown and a navy blue. But with narrower brim

I know there were several versions with different specs thru that time, just like the Gun Club.

I think it's an excellent candidate for a beaded band. But then, I think used dental floss would look better than that 1980s Suburban Cowboy crocheted band.

I agree, fortunately there is some decent felt under some of those macrame atrocities.

I already have a couple of SunBody hats, but this palm came up cheap and looks to be lightly used (needs a ribbon or band). It looks to be a Texas Hat Co. 10X of some sort. The leather sweat and the fact that is size 7 5/8 and not XL gives me some hope that it’s decent quality. The style, however, is a big stretch for me.
I just have a hard time passing up cheap hats in my size. I’m note sure when I’ll every wear this hat, but who knows?

Five months? Wow. Patience is not one of my virtues. Not that I have many.Northwest: Five months in the waiting. Mike assured me it’s the deep brown beaver in Whiskey and not the greenish quasi pecan in his photos.

I sometimes call Tiffani at Optimo and ask her to send pics of the hats she already has in the store in my size, and choose.
My Manhattan Aubergine is supposed to arrive tomorrow, BTW. I hope it is a little darker than the pictures in their site. They all have been before.

I was expecting three months, but he had a baby and some delays. Some makers wait times run in years! I don’t have that kind of patience. A lot of these hatters are one man shops and the more popular ones have all the work they can handle.
Your purple hat is incredible! I don’t know that I have it in me to go there. Wow! I bet it looks great in person and I’ll look forward to seeing the photos.

Yes......I kept looking at it wondering....."would it take a stretch"????? But, then I really do not like to do that, especially when they are that old.......
M
Ps Now on a newer one that I actually can try on and seems a large 7 3/8, I have indeed had some luck.
