What hat are you waiting for today?

Once again Strand Hatters for the win! -- 4 days order to delivery Australia to California!!!

Once again USPS SUCKS! My Hattery Hat seems to be wandering in USPS hell...

The last hat I ordered from The Hattery took almost 2 months to get delivered, not sure who's fault, Australia Post or USPS, or both.

Strand via DHL definitely gets here quicker

My second hat (from The Hattery) arrived today and from tracking most of the time was USPS

Relatively speaking of course. My eight mile commute of I 80 earlier today was a proverbial graveyard of 18 wheelers after yesterday's winter storm - I quit counting at ten and there were more. The smashed and ditched Amazon truck made me giggle a whoops out loud to myself. Whoops!

The chances of a hat a generation older than the one that is my size is probably slim, but worth the risk.

I only had these bad pics and no communication from the auction house to go on.

Pretty sure this is a Stetson Select Quality, circa 1920 - 1930 (round size sticker).

The size 7-1/2 hat in this lot that gives me some hope.

Been looking for one of these for a long time. I only wish it were my size but I’m excited nonetheless. This is one of the hats that LBJ would hand out as gifts.

Great find Rick! I’m no longer doing research or anything but feel free to write it up in this thread:
