What hat are you waiting for today?

[Redfokker]

A quick run to the post office... and a call from my daughter saying she had missed the school bus. So the nice lady in front of me overheard my conversation with my daughter and let me go in front of her. Drive to my daughter, take her to school and back to the house.... time for the Italian Opening:

The sticker says Verona...

The box! ...and the excitement builds...

Hand made hat box by the seller looks bullet proof, oh how exciting!

And.... a blurry picture of the unveiling!!!

And the hat, a Borsalino with med-long hair finish! Beautiful little hat. A touch tight for me at 59cm but certainly wearable. My first Borsalino in what I hope will be a respectfully long line of Italian and other European lids.

Oh my, I want to pet it. Nice little kitty, soft and warm.

It got a good brushing today.

Purrrrrr!

Wow....I'd say, your new Borsa has acquitted itself quite admirably....I want to pet it too...}8^)) So you say it has been brushed and fed?

Now wheres that RM? We also have incoming BGG Campdraft, and Stratoliner, both due today....and the possible arrival of RJ's two pieces of Art's....

This is a very exciting week!

Approaching 3 months and still waiting for shipping notification on my BGG Campdraft.

Aparently I'm waiting for a "used stagecoach vintage resistol". I only know what the customs are telling me since I'm not waiting for a new hat.

Got The Hattery to hold a Cedar Brown Campdraft for me. Excited about this new color.

Finances have pretty much placed a moratorium on hat purchases lately, but I happened to notice a Sovereign Twenty in what appeared to be an olive green in my size on one of the non-auction sites. Couldn't tell from the pics, but it appeared to have the Mode Edge as well. $35 plus shipping.
I couldn't resist.
The pics show it to be a bit worse for wear, but the other Twenty I own spruced up nicely with a brush and some steam. Hoping for the best, and expecting to get it in my grubby hands next week.

My Akubra Woomera in black has shipped. That's about 2-1/2 months instead of the quoted 3 month wait.

Can't wait to see the Woomera in black. Are you going to change out the hat band?

Not sure yet. I suspect it will have a black ribbon but don't know for sure until it gets here.

Well it is a Stagecoach I got and I've seen this hat on ebay... hm......

Gonna try this again. My first attempt ended up posting several HUGE duplicate images.
I managed to grab some of the seller's pics of the Twenty after getting home.

A little bit (very) excited about the hat Esther Weis is making for me.

I'll bet when you are done cleaning that one up, it will be a super nice looking hat.
