It received about the same reception as a raggedy stray... (which in time I'm sure she will come to love).

A box have arrived
It's been in the mail since 81 (no it wasn't).
It's a normal basic 4x beaver Stetson from the 80's.
No it's not the full 5"... but close. The original hatband is probably lost and I can't tell if the snake skin is real or fake since I've never handled any.
Well probably it will see more head time than my other chocolate brown big country (well the hat does not have the paper tag so I can't tell if it is a big country but the measures are really close).
The brim have some... issues not visible to the eye but for what I had payed, I don't really care.

Thanks Joao. My little brown hat is jealous of your big brown hat...

True. I've resurrected some that looked worse. Look forward to seeing it when cleaned up.

Is it that little?
Doesn't look so.

Seldom worn modern Premier Stratoliner from '14. This is one thick kitty, perfect for the frozen north, but not at all stiff. So nice to have an open crown and 6" of height. I'm still fighting the pressed crease on my several modern Royals, plus the Royals are an inch shorter.

Georg Fischer Wien, 59cm probably early 1950s. The felt on this Homburg is very soft in hand and a fine example of a very high quality felt that is of a heavier weight. The over all construction (including components) and condition of the hat are fantastic. This is my first Georg Fischer Wien find so very happy about finding such a great specimen.

Vacuuming revealed more than I wanted to see, but a naphtha bath and brushing has perked it up enough that it's not as jealous of Joao's big brown hat as it once was.
Will probably cover up the glue remnants with a wider ribbon.

What a difference! It is already much prettier. Looks like a nice color.Vacuuming revealed more than I wanted to see, but a naphtha bath and brushing has perked it up enough that it's not as jealous of Joao's big brown hat as it once was.

Mallory XV, more pictures when the daylight comes. After a quick dry crease, I'm in love...
