PORTIS PATH

[Lefty]

Very nice, Bart. That's my favorite of the crazy fun times liners.

Love it, Bart. How would you describe the color?

Thanks Jimmy and Lefty. And thanks again for turning me on to this hat Jimmy. It's a keeper. The felt is just a light grey, the second picture is pretty accurate on my screen. The bound edge is 'tanner' from aging than it was originally but looks great in contrast. I got the gunk of the liner, it was pretty nasty when it arrived and is now alot clearer than in the ebay pictures. This one will likely make the Garland trip.

Portis Supreme

I've had this one for quite some time. Just realized I never posted it here. Very nice Portis Supreme with pug style ribbon, great edge treatment and crown sticker.

I want a Patriot ... by the 4th of July please ...

 

[handlebar bart]

Great find Bill. I love all three, but the Home Run especially would be a fun hat to have.

Buler, what type of bash is it on that Portis?

 

[danofarlington]

I like it better re-bashed. It came out quite nice-looking on you.

Late 40's-Early 1950's Portis Pathfinder

I just realized that I never posted these pics of this Portis that I sold a long time ago. It was unfortunately 6 3/4, but it was the coolest shade of blue.
