I hadn't seen all these posts because I am soaking my burnt legs in the waters of the Mediterranean. [emoji2]
Que viva España!

I can understand almost everything the natives say here. Weird.

I’ve wanted one for a long time (obvious reasons ), and now I have one coming my way after an assist from Max. Thank you my friend!

I can't understand half of what the natives in Boston say... and England, well, Bob's your uncle!

Too bad it’s so small. Seller is asking $100 or best offer.

I believe it's in my watch list, but I'm suddenly pretty flush in the dress western --- though I was disappointed that my "ready to wear" 50s Strat wasn't on the porch when I got home.
A few days ago an OR from the 50s arrived that I bought off the eBay clearance rack. It was pretty beat up and dirty, and the seller estimated it as 6 7/8. I paid the opening bid and claimed it for $62 before the auction closed.
It has some staining, but if I can get them out it may be a nice hat. I stretched it pretty hard last nice, to about 7 1/4, and no thread popping. Steamed it on tje stretcher this morning, then removed the stretcher after it cooled and dried. Fits like a snug 7 1/8.
Now I find myself eying those flat Spanish Cabelleros hats.

Just bought this panama for $75 on Etsy, including shipping. I am going to PM Doug tp see what he thinks. I like the shape. Ignacio can install a leather sweatband. I think it's worth it.

Beachcomber? Gadabout? Nokabout?
And Ermine...etc??
Never ends Max!

I have a Nokabout! No beachcomber. Is there really a Gadabout?

Just paid for this early (pre Stetson) Mallory Dallas. This will be my 2nd thin ribbon fedora. Supposed to be in mint condition. This came to my attention via Eric aka @Short Balding Guy.

Nice, Bill! Are you past the 52 hat mark yet? [emoji6]

That is number 52. But I'm working on another from Mike Miller so will have to sell one in the near future.

You did well, Max. Certainly below wholesale/retail for what looks to be a very finely woven Cuenca hat. It has the sewn underwelt, so probably started with a much wider brim. This is something you generally see in Cuenca and other areas outside of Montecristi.

I passed on a nice one for $82, in Cuenca, that I wish I had picked up now... oh well... and it did not have this fine weave.

Wow, that looks really nice, Bill. Great felt, color, and I love the contrasting ribbon. The salmon (dusty rose?) colored brim binding is something that has always piqued my interest.
