What hat are you waiting for today?

[BobHufford]

Buying hats just for their hatbands again. $28 and $24 for silver (and turquoise) concho bands? Yeah buddy!

And they’re an hour away, so I save on shipping.

They could flatten them into envelopes and mail. Costs less than driving. YMMV literally!

I thought about that, but then I’d miss out on the thrift stores along the way. Plus I can flip the hats for gas money.

Nice score on the bands! The hats aren’t too bad either.

Thanks Bill! The hats and bands should clean up nicely.

Ive got TWO new hats on the way! One is a Black Champ Featherweight, and the other a nice light brown Stetson Key Club Imperial/ Ultimate Finish

Both were ebay hats and had a "or Best Offer" option. I made MY best offer on both and got both for a much lower than listed price. Both are modest brims ( 2-1/8?) and appear to be in really clean shape. Now lets see what kind of gorilla packing methods they use to ship lol

Some may have seen this on the bay. I paid more than I wanted to, but I couldn't resist any longer.
A longhair Dobbs Game Bird with 2-3/4" brim.

It's a beauty, Don. I'm sure whatever you paid for it will be worth the joy of having it.

Great get Don!!

Stetson Stetsonian, Extra Quality. Brim is 2 1/4 or so. Might be from the 1920's or early 30's because the sweatband joint at back isn't sewn.

Have a new project hat on the way. A big ol Black 4x Resistol Cowboy hat. Game plan is to use it to test my new Jiffy Steamer and brim curling tool. Going to shorten the brim up a bit by curling it. Im thinkng a full 1/2" curl although I may test a 3/8" to start with. If it works well, I have some other nicer hats that might benefit from the same treatment ( I have one raw edge and one bound edge in mind for it)

Missed out on a Rand’s 40X earlier this month, so consoled myself with this 7X.

Originally sold through Eddie Bauer.

Just received a notification. Should be on my noggin by early December. Custom Homburg for my massive skull. New color. Starting to fill out my stable of hats (not millinery!, I am told millinery refers to hats for the ladies).

 

[BobHufford]

Brent Black Panama. Size unknown — hoping it is big. What was listed as a $700 hat new (entry level for a BB) ... I bid $22 and was surprised to win it!

 

[Rmccamey]

Good luck, Bob.

I just heard from Mike at Buckaroo Hatters.
My new hat is awaiting me!!!!
It will be next Wednesday before I can make it to the hat shop… I can’t hardly wait!
The liner is done after a family hunting enterprise that I now have after the death of a cousin and her husband.
I believe Mike did them proud!!!
Thanks Mike!!! Excellent job!!!!

 

[BobHufford]

Good luck, Bob.

Thanks Randy!
