Got another late 40s 7XCB about a month ago, and this week finished a full resto including a reblock in record time. You can see by the listing pics that even the stubborn verdigris stain came out. Mostly. Usually it doesn’t at all. Had some serious sweat stains in the front too. Wasn’t able to reuse the original 3/8 ribbon as the sweat stains didn’t budge an inch. For this hat I like this 1” even better though.

I do love that ribbon on it. I may have to change one of my OR to that. Very nice.

One upside I guess, I hope you didnt have any damage from the storm.

It wasn’t a bad storm. This time.
The worse things that happened in my neck of the swamp was drowned frogs and soggy crawfish.

Man that black hat’s a good look.
Makes me wanna break out in song:
“Cowboys ain’t easy to love and harder to hold. They’d rather give you song than diamonds or gold.”
Okay, Story, your turn. Do Willie!

Hückel Weilheim "Chevreau", mid 1950s. Overall it's really great. I found this Soft Felt back in 2011.

This is what the Liner logo originally looked like. Unfortunately the stamp cut into the plastic so eventually expanded. As far as I know only Hückel Weilheim stamped the Liner logo onto the protective plastic.

The original exterior Paper Size tag came with the Hat.
