Two new, to me, hats.

Dobbs Golden Coach Savoy Mink &
CHAMP Spaceweight. The CHAMP has a very cool liner.[emoji106]

That Golden Coach is beautiful Hector. Love the color.

I have the Dunlap “brother from another mother” of the SpaceWeight. Though mine is sans the awesome liner unfortunately. They really are lightweight though.

Best,
Joe

Two great new to you hats, Héctor. Two super liners, too. Those space-age Champ liners are so 60s cool. Congrats.

Thanks for the kind words Joe! That Champ is lightweight indeed, which explains the need for the trolley cord.

Yes I noticed that one does have some of the bells and whistles.

Hard to tell from the photos.. does that one have a Cav edge... or is it an overwelt?

Thanks for the kind words Steve. The liner on the Dobbs it is kind of different. Usually the GC liners are in gold lettering and accents, this one is a lighter pink.

At first I thought it was an age issue, but everything is perfect, no signs of rubbing or discoloration. ????

Not exactly new as I've had this for about a month but I was in exile:

I had been coveting this hat for quite some time. The navy blue box pleat bow is quite something. This was part of an exchange with @M Hatman and has been getting a lot of head time lately.

That's a purdy hat.

That’s some hat there! The bow work is very nice, as is the whole hat. If you go into exile again we’re coming to look for you.

I received this yesterday, al the way from New Zealand.

This Borsalino has all the characteristics of a 1930s hat, unless Borsalinos retained these characteristics long after most other brands had changed. The feel, malleability, and thinness of the felt, the liner label, and the look and feel of the sweat and imprint are of the characteristics of other '30s hats I have.

While I was taking the pictures, the crown was reshaped very easily with just some finger pressure.

The hat is gray, and there is some age-damage to the sweat, but nothing horrible. The hat is still completely wearable.

I've had a Hat Jack in it for a day now, as I need to size it up about a half size.

Here are some pictures:

My thrift store find of the day.

Resistol Beaver 3X

I’m generally partial to the Fedora/Trilby lines.. have a handful of caps and recently added my first Homburg. And while a couple of my hats may have had some western cues. I did not have any full on western/cowboy hats. But when I came across this Resistol **X Beaver in approx my size for a whole 4 dollars... I knew this one had to come along with me.

Well this sure is a whole lot of hat!

Rainy day here not the best for getting pictures... but they show well enough to tell me to stick to fedoras. [emoji38]

Best,
Joe

It actually looks good on you. Give it some time to get used to it and you’ll be a believer. You can also trim the brim back a bit if you’re like me and prefer something less than four inches.

Thank you sir... will take some getting used to for sure. I do think it could come in handy for my brother-in-laws horse events. The brim is definitely a bit big to me... but it’s proportions are quite nice with that crown. We shall see

Best,
Joe

That is exquisite, Jonathan. Seeing the treasures he trades, makes you wonder what he still has in his cave!

Very nice finds, Héctor. I found a Dunlap spaceweight myself recently; the liner is fabulous. I like the shape and colour of the Dobbs.
