I have 4 parabuntal hats now and love them. This one was listed as a size 7-1/2, but the seller did not disclose that it is also marked as a 61cm. It's just too light and too loose for me to wear outside if it's windy at all. So it's closer to a size 7-5/8.
The box is interesting, but is...
This is a beautiful "Aficionado" by Brent Black with Montecristi hand-woven Paja Toquilla (straw). Too small for me, I size it at 7-1/8.

The Aficionado starts at $550 new, but at 24 x 24 (576 wpsi) I'm thinking this one...
I am going through my hats and thinning a few out that see little head time.
I bought this John Penman, "The Penman," last year 2nd hand from another FL member. I knew it was a tad small and hoped to have it reblocked, etc, but just haven't ended up going that way and wear it only occasionally...

The pictures show the grey felt...
Cuenca Semi Calado Two-Tone Patterned Brisa Weave, Size M (7 to 7-1/8)
MrsFed and I picked up this semi-calado at Homero Ortega in Cuenca on our recent trip to Ecuador. I picked up a M and a L with Red in mind, thinking the M would be for him and the L for me. Well, the M was a touch tight...
I just don't wear this hat, so it needs to go to a new home. I bought it New Old Stock (NOS) off ebay last year and have only worn it 4 or 5 times. It is in "as new" condition, has never been worn in the rain or other extreme elements. Stetson called it their "Murphy" and apparently it was a...
I bought this hat new from Australian Gear dot com last summer, 2016, and have worn it less than 10 times. It's a nice hat, but I am going in different directions now with my "working collection." I see on the site they are currently on sale for $113.72 USD, with about $15.89 for their...
Here's a link to one hat by Art Fawcett of Vintage Silhouettes. Check under the seller's other items for sale to see several more nice VS lids and a Lee and a Dobbs that are up for sale...
