What hat are you waiting for today?

[Blare]

Hopefully the "Post New Hats Here" thread will settle down before this arrives. In the meantime I'm waiting on this. No idea when it will arrive as I skipped the typically high shipping from other-than-eBay or Goodwill auctions and was able to find a local connection to pick it up and eventually get it to me. I'm digging the color, crown and ribbon on this Beaver Brand 5X hat. There is a chance that it might be too small at 7-3/8, but I've been having a string of luck with that size working out for me lately.

Still waiting for the hat I ordered. They shipped this one by mistake. I like it enough to keep it. I mean really?!! I like almost every hat enough to keep them! Big brimmed, open crown hats? Always We'll see what hat they ship next. Should have it by Tuesday.

Yahoody, I'm so used to seeing you in great hats with more than one zip code. I can't even imagine a pork pie stingy brim on you. When I get something in error it never comes out as good as that one.

Nope.If I ordered a new Ford Edge, they would never send me a Shelby Mustang by mistake! Rats!

Hahahhaahhaha! I just got lucky. We'll see how the "right" hat is when it shows up. It was suppose to be a 5" brim. This one is a 4.5" brim.

To paraphrase Virgil Cole and Randall Brag. Brag, "Hard to like a man who doesn't like a flat, open crown hat..." Virgil, "But not impossible."

After talking it over with @jlee562 I decided to send a couple of re-furbs over to Michelle from Herbert Johnson. She sent me a preview of the box due to arrive from England in a couple of weeks:

Very nice. Do they only work on their own hats?

I think they work on all makes as the FEPSA beaver bodies I sent over were not originally HJ hats though that is the felt they currently use.

Ah, so you were the lucky one with that lovely purple liner I saw HJ post on Instagram!

Is this the 6 5/8 hat? Looks pristine.

Indeed it is. All $2.25 of it. I can't buy a cheapie hat at Target for that price.

Well, you beat me out of another

Should make for a nice surprise for my boy. Heck, after I showed the wife she even said I should put up another shelf in the entry way for his hats as this will make four.

I recognize that wording and font. Is this one of the many Beaver Brands? Can't wait to see more of it. Congrats to the boy and condolences to you for losing out to those small-headed guys again. Now you need to find one!
