What hat are you waiting for today?

Indeed. A very unique and pleasant gentleman

I so miss Michael, his inimitable sartorial style, wonderful all weather photos, his collection of hats, and, not to forget, his great sense of humour. He was always fun to correspond with.

A year or so back, Stefan found out that Michael had moved in with one of his daughters. I hope he's still enjoying those hats.

I couldn't resist this one.

Looking forward to it arriving from Bob via Robert after a ribbon refurb.

Bob and Robert with the assist on the Big Bill score! Can’t wait to see the great one eyed pics after it makes its voyage across the pond.

Looks Like I get to post here. I just purchased an Akubra Federation IV, dark brown and open crown. I'm planning a teardrop or diamond bash. I'm also looking forward to aging it over the next few years.

Here Kitty Kitties…. Try as I might I could not resist a two for like these. And with those “Cavanagh” hand felted edge brims…. well! :nod: @Randall Renshaw @BobHufford

Yay! Great hats, both! And a cool box!
Triple win!

I got one of these nutrias on the cheap just like this one two years ago, but it turned out to be a size 7 1/8 and the sweat was too dry to take a stretch so I sold it for serious profit. Been looking out for one since.
I love this style western, whatever it is .
What is the style name of this hat anyway?
A type of campaign hat?
This one was sold on eBay by Jesse @Jesse John of the FL and I do appreciate it!
He says it’s in great condition and from the pics it looks awesome!
Only thing I’ll have to do is put some swoop in the kettle rolled brim.
Way back years ago before I found the FL I had built me a modern black western to look like this Stetson.
Now I finally have a real one!!

Thanks Brent. If they are any thing close to the similar era Resistol Beaver 15 I got a couple years back… should be good to go.

Thanks Joe. No idea on the size ...

Hat lottery time again. Two panama hats with what looks to be some vintage. These pics are all I got to go on. For €8 a piece, why not? They might be halfway decent.

Blast! Got me again! Bought another hat. Dobbs Golden Coach Homberg. This one in Sable.
I should watch my mouth. I gave a low-ball offer and it was accepted. Looks pristine. I hope to have it in a week or so.

I don’t think you can go wrong at that price.. as long as they don’t try to shove them in a tiny box
