It is from the later period and has a couple of spots and one moth nip that I can see.

But it's supposed to be my size and, although it went past the $25 to $45 estimate, it was still half-price.

Score! Way to go, Bob. Hope it fits.

Score! Way to go, Bob. Hope it fits.

Thanks Brent! It will probably end up have a 7-1/2" measurement across with my luck.

One Hundred! Is that dollars, gallons, or beavers? Congrats either way!

Thanks! It was dollars back in the day. Not sure if it was still 100% beaver at this point. I have a '100' case that was needing a hat.

There is something about this shape in these colours I find extremely appealing. Gorgeous!

In 2004 this thread started with “waiting for an Optimo.” So am I:

This is the third Optimo I’ve bought from this seller so I’m sure it will be fine, I just hope it fits…might be the perfect excuse for a Mexico vacation to meet Ignacio and Max @drmaxtejeda My wife might start encouraging me to buy more hats if there’s a trip to Mexico included.

My wife might start encouraging me to buy more hats if there’s a trip to Mexico included.

Let us know if that works.

"Tienda Vector One Fur Felt Pork Pie Hat - Cordova":

As seen on the Tienda Hat website, in a listing that's something of a mess. Some places it says "100% fur felt", others it says "100% wool felt"; no mention of it being made by Stetson, but the photo clearly shows a Stetson pin on the ribbon. I'm expecting a basic wool Pork Pie of a vaguely brown-ish color with no Stetson pin and, I'm hoping, the brim snapped UP all around. No idea when I'll receive it; tracking shows it's been bouncing around the Guangdong province of China for the last four days; maybe the good people of ShaTian are breaking it in for me.
