been looking for a vintage one that will match ... or at least blend nicely with the subtle color of the hat

I have one of those on an old Knox 20 that I have

Just to get my twisted nose aligned is a miracle.

Steve; Thank you again

Steve I'm near the Czech border....if you have some others packages to deliver I can give my help.
I have enough room in my car for others wonderful hats.
Let me know, my work of carrier will cost you only two hats ;-)

Good to hear from you, Daniele! I think Steve's treasure find is a challenge to you. Can you find more???!!

Richard your bashing efforts are just right, sir. And have you tried a chiropractor on that other alignment you think you need?

Moon, did you look into the cover buttons? A bit of matching ribbon cut to size and you're there. The cords colors are the hard part.

Yeah, you cut off a small piece of ribbon, place it on the button cover, press it into the back and, viola! Trolley button that matches your ribbon.

Lol. I drive by one of those stores daily to and from work. Can I help...? Dont kno if they stock em at the stores.

 

[Frunobulax]

They do here, but they don't carry the right size here (#18), so I get them on Amazon. You have to get the kit, though to get the little plastic doodad that presses the button together.

Awaiting a Stetsonian with gas bath!




And wait 120 days 'til I can actually wear it!

EXCELLENT work!

Nice work on that stingy, AnA!

A'n'A--spectacular work, man, stingy brims and all.

Keep it up.

Great work AnA! Keep 'em coming!

Fantastic looking hat, A-n-A!! Great job.

Beautiful hat AnA!

AnA new vocation for you? Great work on those!

I echo the accolades... a very handsome ribbon bow. You have a good eye for this!

Guys, thank you SO MUCH for the compliments. I greatly appreciate it. Not quite a vocation, yet, but it's definitely therapeutic. I've enjoyed the local response from friends and co-workers, and it's a real pleasure to hand off the hats in person. I'm honored to display them on the 'Lounge.

Thanks again! :yo:

[Rick Blaine]

Thanks fellas, I'm stoked!
Just means more I'll have to sell more, hopefully prior to trying my wife's patience.
... need a bigger house, eh?

 

[Bob Roberts]

Rick, I do believe that is my absolute favorite Stetson. PERIOD.

Got this one from last week- Vtg. Panama OR



Just as minty as it appeared! A springy, light & airy gossamer weave that I don't know the name of, I am afraid.





It LOOKS like it just came from Myer's, but it is from his (one time ?) rival, Goldberg's Clothing on Decatur St.



I had a just had a muffuletta from the still extant Central Grocery, right down the block from Cafe' Du Monde (world famous Beignets & coffee), last time I was there, not to be missed!
Any residents of The Crescent city that remember ol' Mr. Goldberg?
