Only worn twice, but these are all day pants! They’ve been worn all day for two days!

I always have my eye open for them… this is what I usually find

There is one on Etsy, Joe. A nice gray one you would like, I think

This very late 50s white Open Road came in today. 7 3/8 and has shrunk just right to fit perfectly. Was expecting to make this’n a flipper.
The sellers pics made me think I might be getting a dark bone color, at best, or just another silverbelly, but was pleased to find this white washed 3X OR. It’s not stark white, thankfully, yet white enough. Super soft and flexible. All she needs is a light cleaning and shaping. A keeper.

Well, to me, it’s irrefutable proof how much value is added with the subtraction of 1% Feather.
Don’t know about y’all, but I’m going yank the feathers off 3 hats that I had decided looked great with them!

Loungers take care….is this one of ours?

This may well be a 20s Stetson, but the rescued sweatband crest is almost certainly mid-40s.

How the white OR turned out after cleaning and wet shaping.

Thanks!
Couldn’t find it and used those exact words in the search. Must not have capitalized the W in White.

Man. I didn't have this up for more than 15 minutes and it sold. And now I wonder if I could've gotten more...
