At the Dog Track... The Whippets

[BobC]

Very nice Whippet, Mike.

Very nice Whippet, Mike.

Thank you Bob.

 

[Blackthorn]

Love it Mike (I would since I have its twin), great Whippet.

I'd second Tom's advice about getting a bandblock from Art. I use mine a lot to keep my hats fitting just right.

I'll second that.

 

[mikespens]

Thanks Blackthorn, I just heard back from Art and he's sending out a band block soon.

Mike Congrats, looks sharp!

 

[mikespens]

Thanks Manfred, a fine German hat is still at the top my of my wish list but I don't have any patience and couldn't resist this one.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

One of my Whippets. Up for sale in the Classifieds.

It's a nice hat, wish I had the coin, since it's apparently in my size. Presently trying to put together enough for a custom hat...

 

[danofarlington]

I'll start the bidding at $1250. Just trying to pre-empt the crowd.

Bump, with an apparent eBay anomaly, a "Whippet" marked bowler. Anybody seen one of these before? These are auction photos. I do not own the hat.

Well, two weeks ago Bond put this hat up for sale. It would be nice to see a little more of the derby's interior, but I think it could be a newer Canadian Stetson(?)

 

[John Galt]

Well, I went back & looked at the listing. It says the seller bought it about 25 years ago if I remember correctly, so I'm guessing that they are both from that timeframe based on the liner graphics.

 

[TheDane]

Probably true. I don't think the used typeface versions are much older

 

[John Galt]

Here's another Whippet anomaly, offered by Timothy's Closet. This one does appear to be true vintage, but is anything but typical.

[Lotsahats]

The price might be the most "special" thing about it. :eeek:

I don't think the hat is all that old looking at the black sweat with the vvvvv stitching.

 

[TheDane]

It could look like a 60s hat. The price is half-past hysterical - completely out of context!
