    Brim up or brim down

    Thanks, I actually don’t have that hat any more, but it was the only picture I had on the device I was answering from. It was a gem though... dang.

    Brim up or brim down

    So far I am brims up all the way. With the brim down I feel like my head and face look like a graying walnut.

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    Could be a coincidence, but the hat I mentioned that I was actually after where the Manhattan came with it - that was my gray Windsor that is just like yours.... with the cool pleated ribbon-work.

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    Here’s a hat I actually forgot I had. It came as part of a deal on a hat I was actively after. Given the generic-ness of the logo and other text, it’s hard to find much of anything about it. The felt is actually quite nice... I’m not a fan of deep teardrops like this so I’ll have to try a...

    The Open Road Guild

    Wow. I just noticed that the STETSON.eu site has the standard 6x Open Road for a whopping 389€? The basic Shantung is 159€. I knew it would be more expensive over here... I guess that’s why I never looked until now.... but that’s crazy-town.

    Playboys on Parade!

    Thanks for the info. I found it on on EBay over here, not in the auctions but in the classifieds. I can’t remember if they have that in the states, but it’s essentially like Craig’s List. I like a black hat from the neck up (I have the gray hair required for maximum contrast!)... but it never...

    Playboys on Parade!

    Hey Moon! Thanks... I had just gotten it in right before the Shore Club was finally delivered and sent you a pic or two in that conversation. I do love it... but dang, black hats are hard to wear.

    Playboys on Parade!

    Yessir. Raw edge. The felt has a luxurious feel to it, though overall a bit firmer than you’d think for a relatively thin felt. Dense and rich is what I’d describe it as. I think the firmness is more due to it having been very rarely worn. Though I suck at it, it feels easy to crease.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Some body got this off eBay over here. A BIN sale seemingly seconds before I could hit the button... any loungers wanna fess up? The ebay details are gone so I could only grab this thumbnail from my “ended” list... <sniff>

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Sorry... I though I had, but apparently I did not. Just posted some to the Playboys on Parade thread: Playboys on Parade! – SPOLIER ALERT – I‘m a crapulent photographer.

    Playboys on Parade!

    ... and a crappy headshot to make it official. It‘s arguably the coolest hat I have, but I almost never wear it.

    Playboys on Parade!

    As requested in the Ebay Victories... etc... thread, here are some more detailed pics of the black German–made Playboy I lucked out on a while back. Moon had put it at late 50‘s and I tend to trust his judgement. I suck at taking hat photos... but here goes.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    The story of how I found my black late 50s Playboy started pretty much exactly like this.

    Akubra Campdraft

    My imperial Campdraft in Bluegrass green hasn‘t really shrunk at all. I did keep a stretcher in it early on out of F.L. induced paranoia, not much tension just to hold it where it was. I don‘t even bother with that much now and I haven‘t noticed any problems yet. The one change I’ve noticed is...

    Western, anyone?

    Here‘s the crease from a shallower angle... It is pretty badass.

    Western, anyone?

    Just got this in... and am heartbroken since the it’s just too small for me. Can anyone give me a bit of info on this in terms of age? I will say, this thing is blowing my mind. I‘m not an expert, I have handled a few westerns before... but none have been this soooffft. I had no idea...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Crud. Gambled and lost – it’s sooo cool. But it’s just too small...
