What hat are you waiting for today?

So using Christmas money and a combination of post Christmas savings I ordered a Stetson Amish fedora from Village Hats in buffalo felt.

I am thinking giving it a brick crease or similar crease when it arrives in a couple of weeks.

A before Christmas splurge and a hat brand I have occasionally been asked to make comparisons to, is an Akubra Campdraft in their Imperial felt. I ordered from Hats Direct in sand/silver belly.

I have not decided what crease this one will get beyond it not being a cattleman's crease as it does not fit my normal attire. I will consider any suggestions and see how she ends up. She should be arriving today or tomorrow.

Busting into a new pallet with a blue hat. Not sure what I'll wear it with, and it'll probably stay on the shelf until spring. But I couldn't resist the "Flying Cloud" liner. My first Knox; also, I read on here somewhere that Flying Clouds are hard to come by over 7 1/4 (I'm 7 3/8). Seller admits a couple of moth bites, but otherwise the hat looks clean, and the sweat and liner look to be in good shape. Another post re: clouds asked about the pin; looks like they represent maritime flags. This one reads, "Changing my course to port."
