Though I know almost nothing about Dalton, and there's little to learn about the company on the Lounge, this one really appealed to me. I didn't go for it, because the brim is only 2 1/4, but it sure is a nice looking hat.

Dead ringer for my Adam Johnnyphi, the ribbon work should be great with the brim binding being a slightly lighter version of the main ribbon work:

Great. I think I might have bid on that Johnnyphi.

It finally arrived today!
It's in pretty good shape overall--there are a few small moth bites on the underside, but they're barely noticeable. With only one hundred of these ever produced, this was a steal at $275!

I really fell for that one. I could see it selling to teenagers who are "truly in love." :D :D :D :D

I figured the hat was made for stylish two-headed men to wear on a date when they weren't on the midway at the circus.



A question for the Brody marked hat with Stetson inner labeling: did Stetson make private label hats?

JT, That Knox is a real beauty. What is/are the actual color(s)? On my monitor the felt is charcoal grey with a burgundy wine colored binding and a purple/blue hue to the ribbon. (If we ever meet for lunch, you have to wear this hat.)

Maybe it's like "Free Parking" on Monopoly. Everyone has their own rules. ;)

(I just meant that Paddy put most of the board on notice.)

Add a bluish tint to the charcoal grey, and the colors are pretty much as you stated. :)

What is this?

Stetson - Stanford 18


This hat was bought in Palo Alto, very near Stanford, so the imprint on the hatband must refer to the university. Any ideas how old this is?

It was obviously a campaign hat (Drill Instructor, Park Ranger, etc.). You can still see the remnants of the original creases. I'd guess 40-50 years old. ROTC or the library at Stanford will probably have photos. :)

That is a No. 1 Quality Stetson with (not some, as described by the seller) a lot of moth damage. It does have a very interesting leather band rather than a ribbon. The color and the leather band don't look military. Seems like a lot of money for a hat in this condition.
