Well, sometimes you put it out there into the world that you're looking for a black Boss Raw Edge and then carouselvic swoops in like a Fedora Lounge hat angel to offer a very old Stetson in need of a sweatband. Unfortunately the quality designation of the felt (and whether this is a "true" Boss Raw Edge) is unknown, but this felt has lots of life left. Although I would still like to get an all-original example, it will be nice to have a wearer that I won't have to baby too much. It's on the way to VS for the refurb treatment.

Looks like a great bit of good fortune to me. Look forward to seeing it after Art works on it.
Looks identical to mine, Jared. Great get from vic.

Yah, 2019 is starting off with two Stetson refurbs. Although with both Bob and Art having pretty full work benches, it may be a while before I receive them.Jared, that's the 2nd time you've been put in this position this year
Indeed! Thanks again to Vic (and Garrett!) for passing on two great hats to breath new life into.

Somebody pickup the 7XCB over on Goodwill? It’s a sweet one.

Just bought this cream-colored Stetson Railbird from Richard Morgan. I already have a gray, and I love the soft, light, malleable felt, plus the sweatband in this one is a lot better.

Good get, Max. Richard seems to have a special nose for these. I got mine from him too. Lovely hats they are.Just bought this cream-colored Stetson Railbird from Richard Morgan. I already have a gray, and I love the soft, light, malleable felt, plus the sweatband in this one is a lot better.

Let me see. Stefan buys a small brimmed, green hat. Obviously, it's a gift for someone else. [emoji2]

No, but nice try. With any luck you'll know soon enough.

You're going to dress up as one of Santa's little helpers for a school musical, then.

That's an even better try than the first one (and now you gave it away
). Patience, Max, patience.

That one has a pretty awesome liner. Looks like an oldie and a good one at that.

No need to get all exited or I'll never live up to the anticipation. Just a little joke between me and Max about my dislike for green hats.
Ah, you've found it. Cool, isn't it?
