I don't know if I'll come across another Stagecoach with that brim size. It's easier to people in the US to come across one than me as I only have ebay as a source and Western Resistols or Stetsons are non existence here. I have to "fight" the world or annoy "US only" sellers and most times give up because the price as gone too high as I have to think of shipping cost and import taxes. Maybe it was my fault to create big expectations I could get it because you didn't liked it, didn't know what to do with it and a hat with that brim size in perfectly shape doesn't appear often. I almost cried when I saw it. I felt like bishop when ripley threw herself into the furnace in Aliens 3. But that again, maybe my own fault and I must get over it.
Maybe you will enjoy it again when you visit or your son visits you.
I understand how you feel. I've missed a lot of nice fedoras because others who must have pockets full of money to spend outbid me on some nice ones. Not too often does a good one come by at a price some of us can afford. Hopefully another one will show up again. There's a guy I bought a couple of Westerns from, the Resistol being one of them. He's pretty reasonable on his prices, and he's from the part of the U.S. where Western hats are plentiful. If he gets another one with a wide brim that I can afford I'll get it and hold it for you.
