I got it. And your son is getting a great hat!

After seeing all these packages come in the mail with hats for me he started asking when his hat was going to arrive. I actually started to feel a little guilty when a new hat would show up because he would be so disappointed. I had been looking for a while but it's difficult to find something of decent quality in a size smaller than 6-3/4.

Stefan (@steur) was kind enough to source one in Europe for me when we completed a hat trade. Suffice to say, my son was pretty elated to finally have a package arrive in the mail for him. He wore it quite often this past winter and almost always received compliment(s) on it when we were out and about.

I also was able to find a straw western just in time for a Christmas gift and he's been wearing that now that it's warmer. This one will make hat #3 in his collection.

That’s great. I wish my son would wear them. He looks much better in a hat than I do.

It is not a hat yet but the FEPSA beaver felt I ordered from Tim @purebeaver has cleared customs and is out for delivery. Not sure what style I will make with it yet but sure excited to actually get one of the felts in my hands.

It's exciting that we can now get FEPSA felt easily here in North America. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it vs. Winchester, and especially interested if the dress weight bodies are big enough for larger brim and crown sizes. I still owe you that message I think I have a couple of hats for you to mess around with.

It has cleared customs and that has been the biggest delay on US parcels. I am hoping this week but I may be too optimistic. I will snap some pics and give a review when it comes in. Yes, still interested in any beater westerns.
 
The $22.50 pigs-in-a-poke showed up. All I knew was that one was a Playboy and the size was “8”.

There was also a Dobbs in 7-1/4 and a costume top hat.

The HAS has been kicking in rather severely lately. Maybe it’s got something to do with the problems I had with panamahatmall.
The Hornskov sale item - the black wool centre dent should arrive tomorrow or the next day. I got a last minute change from the pictured item to one with a steel colored ribbon.

My wife & I are both planning on getting beaver hats made by Peter, but I decided to go with this because I get nervous about sizes buying online, and this is my first custom made. If needs be, I can tweak the size for the beaver.

We are also waiting on a Panama hat each.

These ones are being shipped by DHL and have already left Ecuador, so I’m optimistic that they will actually arrive!

Finally, I have an Akubra hemp hat on it’s way from Australia.

Excellent new additions. Peter makes wonderful hats from what I’ve seen of his work online.

I just saw on the Hufvud blog that Mikael has started receiving felt shipments, including the 100X Moss Green beaver I'm waiting on. Really can't wait to see what this Fepsa pure beaver's going to be like. It's a first for me.

The Hornskov has arrived in Osaka (one city over from me), so should get here today.
Yet to see the hat (obviously) but very impressed with their service. The sale item isn’t offered in different colours or with ribbon options. I decided very late to ask if the different ribbon was possible. I spoke directly to Peter on the chat and he immediately said “no problem” and got it sorted for no charge.
