My "missing" hat finally emerged out of 12 days of US Post Office purgatory! A cute little 4x Stetson Giant in Silverbelly. Guess Im a sucker for a curled brim and couldnt resist this one. 3-1/8" Brim 5-1/4" crown. Side curls are a bit taller than front and back so it kind of gives it a dimensional brim look ( narrower on sides) with a slight downward swoop in front and back. Box was a bit worse for shipping wear, but hat was clean and in great shape. The cheap factory band was glued on about an inch off of being centered so it got removed asap. slapped on a spare decent braided horsehair band for now. Looks better to me already. This hat may be a good candidate for a nice coin concho hatband eventually. Nice little western without being too big.

I did hear a little noise in the bottom of the box .... found a tollbooth receipt from Oklahoma and about $1.50 in change in there... BONUS!

New life for this abused and neglected Mallory Dallas. This hat was in rough shape when I got it. Couldn't make it look brand new but at least it looks better. Whoever put hot glue all over the ribbon needs to go to hat jail! That was a job to take off! Stripped down, reblocked, and reworked! Original material was reused. Now to finally get caught up on some other projects!
