Post New Hats Here!

Nice one Alan.

Here's a Dobbs of unknown vintage I grabbed at the thrift store for a few bucks this afternoon.

It looks kind of washed out in the phone pics. It's a sort of whiskey/caramel color, and the band looks like it may have been brown at one time but it faded to a sort of burgundy color.
It's way to small for me, but it fit my son pretty well.

He's pretty stoked about his first "real" hat.

Dude, nice find! I like the ribbon/hat band on that one. Your boy looks great in it! I would guess 60s vintage, but I am no expert.

Dh, looks great on the young fella!

Dale, the boy is now a man... sort of! Fantastic fit and form. Give him our congratulations!

 

[dh66]

Thanks for the kind words gents. He even cleared out a special place to keep it when he's not wearing it. I was pretty impressed.

That's IT!! He's done for, dedicated now, whether he knows it or not. Just the BEST, Dale. The expression on his face tells it all.

That's awesome Dale! I love the fact he cleared out a little "shrine" to place it on. He'll remember that hat the rest of his life

My Husband says, this hat must be.. "The Smuggler"......

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Were you the winner of it??

Were you the winner of it??

Hello Joao..."winner" of that hat would be a rather strong word going in the wrong direction....unless you had the midget that goes along inside that hat....

Stetson Real Nutria Fur derby

Ample dimensions - 5 3/4 block (crown height measures about 5.5"), 2 3/16 brim. Note early real nutria fur logotype... the nutria became much more beaver-like in subsequent versions. Age uncertain - 20s at latest but perhaps a decade or two earlier. Retail tag shows $6. MLR opened their Chicago store in 1907.


More photos to follow.

Dale, Your son's Dobbs looks great!

Alan, Fantastic! I am looking forward to more!

 

[1mach1]

Wow Alan! Very nice!

dh66 -- Don't be surprised if he pulls out a cigar after dinner one of these nights. Don't forget: you started it!

There called little people not midgets.

After rather a long time, I can finally post something in the new hats section - me in my new Panizza.

Alan, what a hat! I am looking forward to seeing more photos.

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks!

Here is a contrast of old real nute logos. Which would you rather have sitting on your head?

 

[Joshbru3]

Both of them can sit on top of my head!

I'm still trying to find this Clear Back Nutria logo

Its from this 1882 ad:
