New hats are like Christmas come early. I have one coming. 100% beaver. Left Silverlake Or on Friday. Ended up in Seattle over the weekend and is now in Denver. I'm in Boise. I don't have high hopes of seeing it any time soon.

I usually have great luck and a lot of faith in the post office. Not sure what is happenign here.

Kinda funny really. Silver lake Or is just under 300 miles from my place. Hat has already traveled, 405 + 1331 and it will take at least another 850 to get it here. 2586 miles so far and counting. I should have just driven over and picked it up!

I trust the USPS, just not the guys they have working there ;)

Found a two-for-one deal that I couldn’t pass up:

Wow -- I think you did a whole lot better than I did Brent! Congrats!

I'm waiting for a three-for-one and a two-for-one.

I went deeper than I should have for one of the three, but at that point it was essentially free shipping for the third one.

Number 1 (in sequence ... it's a XXXX)

This one at least helps to date a Stetson 4X with embroidered Last Drop.

Number 2 (hold on, this reference may come into play shortly).

Number 3. I think people were bidding on this one like it was Stetson's Centennial and not Wyoming's.

Which brings us to the 2-fer.

I probably paid too much for this, but it appears old, so I hope that liner truly goes with it. Wish the sweatband was still the original one though. We'll see what's behind it soon.

It comes with the world's dirtiest Portis.

I sure hope it cleans up nicely, but it was still worth it just to reference @alanfgag 's Dad joke.

"Cause nobody likes a Portis spotty."

Had to get another 1-fer in just 'cause the liner was pretty.

Some potential diamonds in the rough, Bob. I was watching some of them too, but the shipping fees have killed me on the last couple of auctions.

Even used, the two Optimos were not cheap, but they are 7 5/8…the curled brim western had to come home with me.
