PORTIS PATH

[40Cal]

Early 1950's ( O.P.S. era) Portis Supreme. I have had several Portis hats in the past but this one takes the condition cake! Close to mint. It's a nice milk chocolate brown color and thin ribboned.... very Stratoliner like in proportions.

This one came from @moontheloon just yesterday. My first Portis hat, my first thin ribbon hat, my first lightweight felt, called a Tissue-Lite, and it's a beaut!

Real nice!!! Glad you grabbed that one up. I bet you are loving the light weight felt! I don't know what it is about those thin ribbon hats....be careful you WILL be adding more to your rotation! I just got my 3rd and 4th thin ribbon 2 days apart this week and thinking about reducing my rather small hat collection to make room for a couple more thin ribbons!

Seriously, I already want one in brown, and one in charcoal... and another in Silverbelly! I'd dig a navy if they are out there...

That is one gorgeous Portis. All the joy and look of a Stratoliner without the price!

I think an OPS Strat was about $10, Mike. The Portis was dirt cheap!

Hubba hubba! Fantastic, Robert!

Yes you do! haha. I think your gray one from Anthony is quite a fine example of the Portis brand!

Super cool my man

That brim edge work is fantastic! Sort of like a knox tom 'n" jerry with bound brim?

there are many different versions of the Tom n Jerry ... this is simply a decorative triple stitch.
really wonderful hat

I took out my New Slant to compare the two. The hat band is the same, less the wind trolley, brim stitching is the same as well. The later date of my grey one is indicated by the $10.00 price tag. And of course, the liner. It is also one of the lightest hats in my stable. Very interesting to compare the two.
