I was referring to Steveschurman's listing (I'd say my cover was blown, but if other Loungers are interested, I don't stand a chance). The hat appeared late 40's to me, so I believed the description, but if someone can refute that, I'd rather not bid.
Funny thing, I usually prefer single breasted, three button configuration when it comes to tweed jackets. Either config. could work, no one is gonna guffaw at what style the jacket is. In a world where a tiny margin of people dress with these accouterments daily, you have a lot of leeway to do...
I used the FL Dobbs dating thread. The details pointed to the hat being late 40s. The text on the sweatband is a sign, but maybe it extends to early 50s.
Youre talking about a listing for a chocolate brown Dobbs, yes?
DAMN, would love to take that Ford for a spin! Seems like the scarcity of people specialized in older cars will force me to do some of the handiwork. That's fine. What I don't understand is the myriad of people that tell me I should opt for some $5,000 project car from the 60's, and just do my...
Currently watching a late 40's Dobbs Game Bird, on eBay. I've seen posts about this on the Lounge--Can anyone vouch for the quality of the Game Bird hats of this era? I have heard good things about Dobbs hats generally.
Welcome to the Lounge, Necktie Guy! I love this bold look tie of yours, and hope to see more from your collection. I myself am also a sucker for snagging vintage ties--They're normally cheap and the patterns and colors are damn near limitless. If you look at previous replies on this thread...
Why can't someone wear a PB suit regularly on summer days? Seems like if the suit were well taken care of, it would be a prosperous investment, as the value of the suit would assuredly increase?
Heh, probably over $500, for your criteria. Affordable PB suits are a thing of the past.

This guy won this suit in an auction for roughly $430, got burn stains on the lapels (which he claims can be...
Thanks, Mayserwegener. I was impressed by how clean and smart the hat looked for its age. Hopefully, this can double as a hat for both casual and formal summer events!
I'm afraid I'm missing the symbolism on this one.
Interesting hat, at a decent price. Is the felt pliable? Is that the original color of the liner or is it due for a hard cleaning? What are the dimensions of the inside (long ways and short ways)? Thanks.
Whew-wee! I've already expressed this...
