Wow, yes, spill the beans on that one. I may have to get on the wait list for one of those myself!

Still waiting on my Anton Peschel (post #6807). It's been stuck in Limbo - otherwise known as Oak Creek, WI - for several days.

The postal abyss is real right now. I have a special one that hasn’t shown any movement since leaving Tyler, TX 10 days ago. And a non hat delivery that danced around TN for 4 or 5 days before stopping in Jax and not moving.

Optimo of Chicago makes these hats for Newt. I’m not sure what the weave count is, and it’s a size 7 1/4. I’ll have to wait for it to arrive to know more.

I've been reading about some of the backups. Three hour wait for postal trucks to unload at a distribution center in Boston (!). Plus, of course they got some weather up there, too.

Thanks, Bob; I just wish it was my size. Sadly, this hat goes onto the for trade or sale stack.

I ordered a cap last month that, according to tracking, was received by the USPS on November 16th. I've filed two "Where's my package?" reports because it's been bouncing between Missouri and Tennessee for the last five weeks. First they told me they never received it, but didn't have an answer when I asked what they were tracking with the number I was given and subsequently provided to them. The second report was acknowledged by a phone call from a woman somewhere within the organization who stopped just short of admitting they didn't really know where the package was, but that it was probably in the back of a USPS trailer somewhere that hadn't been unloaded yet. *shrug* It was finally scanned this morning after sitting in Memphis for two weeks; I have no idea where it's headed now, but I won't be too surprised if it ends up somewhere in the middle east.

I shouldn't watch auctions for hats that don't fit me. This O'Farrell custom appeared to be going for the opening bid, so I tossed one out there that was just a bit higher and won it for $9.00. It's from 1991 and is between a 6-7/8 and 7. I think the red liner had a lot to do with my weakness ...
I might trade it to some Dutch "dude" that needs more westerns.

Good news!
These hats are in Japan and cleared customs this morning (New Year’s eve). With the post office closed from the first to the third (except for New Year card delivery), I’m expecting them on the 4th. The post office is pretty efficient over here once the package is in the country.
