That looks very promising, Brent.

That looks very promising, Brent.

Thanks, Stefan. It’s a 7 5/8 too.

Thanks, Stefan. It’s a 7 5/8 too.

Fingers crossed!

I know it’s going to be small (no size provided), but the price was right and it looks to be a nice hat:

Edit: I just saw this hat crossed listed on eBay as a size 7, so we’ll see.

 

[Steve1857]

Not my first Bowler by far, but my second Battersby one.



Along with my third fu Lazzaro.



Our Dutch friend still has the magic touch.

You won't be disappointed in the felt: Peschel did those chevret and chamois finishes to perfection.

After days of trying to decide, I placed an order today for a new Bluegrass Green Campdraft. Let the wait begin!

The thing to do with your busy favorite hatters with a months long backlog is to tell them a year in advance to save you spots in their queue for hats to be delivered October 1st, and another November 1st, etc. This way you always have a hat coming up and you can decide on the specifics at your leisure. You should be reserving spots in queues for all of 2023 now.

Playing hat roulette again. I may just take a couple of the boxes (combining three or four hats in each one if possible) and leave a couple of the westerns to keep the shipping reasonable.

Glad you got them, Bob. I was terrified that with all the large boxes the shipping to California would be astronomical. Looking forward to seeing the details.

Thanks to a tip from Brent this Resistol "Bronco" will be coming back to its original neighborhood.

Unlined Lee Bronze Label that is either dipping it's toe in Gay Prince waters or someone just wanted to be a cowboy.

I love those red liner Resistols. They remind me of Ed @Desert dog Has anyone seen or heard from Ed recently?

What felt color is that, Brent?

 

[Spats McGee]

Congratulations. Look forward to seeing it when you are able to get it.

I hope to show it off here, but impatience may get the better of me. I've had my eye on it for several months, and it's been out of stock in my size and preferred color the whole time. So I've started shopping for a new "go me" hat. Patience is ordinarily one of my strong suits, but I've wanted something in a nice chocolate brown for a long time. Dangitall.

 

[deadlyhandsome]

What felt color is that, Brent?

Dark moss. I’m hoping it will be here by the end of the week.

I look forward to seeing more when it arrives. I'm on the hunt for a gray-green felt and that color might be a contender.

 

[Fed in a Fedora]

Akubra CampDraft in black. (So what abbreviation are we using for these? BKCD?)
I once said that if these were made, I would get one. Now the wait begins!
Might need to call and beg Sam.

Everything Australian.
