Looks like a Sea Splash brand lacquered straw.

I think with these super-cheap straws they released them under a whole bunch of generic name brands. I had one almost identical to this one that I sold the summer before last which was a different make, "bangora waterproofed", but almost identical.

I bought one, last summer. lol

They seem to be handwoven. What do you think?

Pretty amazing price for that size. That being said, I think that the Stetson Vogue is one of the coolest Stetsons ever -- Stetson's "bold look" lid, and pretty darn rare, from what I've seen over time...

Cheers,

Dirty, stained, and not even a real Whippet. What happened?

Edit: This post makes a lot more sense when it's in its intended location: in front of JtL's post. Kinda cool he can answer my questions before I post them!

"Not even a real whippet"?

I've never understood the big deal over the model name. The hats are nice, but why does a hat with the "whippet" stamp sell for so much more than the same hat, or a nicer one with the exact dimensions without it? Especially when whippets are so common, as are open roads and stratoliners.

I'd much rather have a good looking, high quality hat for half the price or less than one with a model name that no one sees and 99% of the population doesn't care about.

Same reason why some spend $150 for a pair of Abercrombe jeans. But I shouldn't criticize. I've spent a fair amount on a Whippet in the past.

Felt quality should be the same as any other '40s Royal Deluxe Stetson.
I think I've only ever seen a handful marked "vogue"- so fairly rare.

Here's one that might be worth (haha) the $21 gamble. I know nothing about these, but looks like a frayed bow and possibly a leather sweatband with ribbon covering...but not sure.
