Lee Forty shark gill.
Notice the subdued green stripes in the dark brown grosgrain of this new acquisition.
Gorgeous, compliant felt.

Nice Camper!

Merry Christmas….even in Alabama!

My first Indy copy. Distressed a bit.
I made it from an early 60s Resistol fedora.
The original sweatband was toast so I installed a new one.

Killer, Ran! You score some doozies!

Beautiful lid, Rick; a crown for a king!!

Not pure beaver, but as far as I know this Stetson has yet to be bashed. There is some wavering where the plastic dust cover squeezes the crown, though. Those plastic covers are not intended for this size crown.

I keep searching for a Silverbelly Campdraft Deluxe to join my Dark Green and Cedar Brown...but alas no luck so far

Mine is the standard imperial quality felt, but it has aged well. You’ll stumble upon one somewhere. Best of luck in your search!

Turn of the century Stetson The Boss Raw Edge W/the fray sweatband

 

[The Lost Cowboy]

Borsa coffin stingy in color Ghiaccio ("ice"). Perfect for cold days.

I actually never wear this hat. But it's a fun one for StingyMas.

Happy Hanukkah. May the light of heaven bring comfort and healing to the Jewish community around the world.

On the edge of stingy, travelling in a remade Borsalino. Found this 25 year old hat in a box at the top of my closet (long story), beaten within an inch of its life. I cleaned, recreased and cut the brim. I had a local hatter add a new sweatband and sew on a new hatband. The ribbon style was his, since its hard to otherwise personalize a black hat.

Wow!
Nice’n, Charlie.

Thank you kindly, Randall. Both your lids today are spectacular, but I’m salivating over the Lee 40!

Ive got a green Imperial, and a slightly darker Green and a Cedar Brown in Heritage. No complaints about my Imperial, but in both of mine, the Heritage hats are at least 1/2" taller crown....( not sure if thats a design feature of if my Imperial shrunk a bit) I really like slightly taller crowns . I love my Stylemasters, but that are lower crowns. At this point if I ever find a CLEAN silverbelly at the right pricepoint Ill jump regardless of which felt. Campdraft is just such a comfortable, versatile hat. Over the past year Ive seen a few but they were either way to small or looked like a previous owner used it to wipe his oil dipstick clean lol

Thanks Joe!

I actually had enough time this afternoon to try the hat with an outfit. I'm finally ready to make my French Connection!

 

[The Shoe]

Stingymas comes to a fuzzy start in Wakayama in the form of this Véritable Feutre de Poil by an unknown French maker.

The brim sneaks in at 5.5cm.
