Post New Hats Here!

[Mr. Paladin]

My new Lee

On - This is an accurate representation of the colour:

Very nice Billy! Looks sharp and with a casual, thin-ribbon sophistication.

 

[indycop]

Side:

Very nice!:eusa_clap

Lovely Lee there billyspew and a nice find, I'm still looking for a brown thin ribbon myself...

Looks like it was made for you, Kiltie -- Congrats! :eusa_clap

Cheers,

Kiltie, you dog! That's a fine Playboy. I've been on the lookout for one of those for a loooooonggg time. You did great!

 

[kiltie]

JtL and Gene:

Thanks - I've been waiting for this one,too. GREAT fit, great guts, nice moss kinda color, and except for a slight moth grazing in one spot ( on the top "hump" of the left dent, so hardly noticible ), perfect body. I was very fortunate with this one I'm really happy with it. I think it was poorly listed and that saved me a fight.

My 30's Dobbs finally arrived

Here's my Stetson Playboy, fresh from the UPS truck:

Nice Playboy there, is it a mid-brown?

Alchemy, Like the bound edge look, the hat suits you just perfectly.

 

[Spats McGee]

That Dobbs is a beaut, Alchemy5150!

On the Playboy:

Top left hat in your avatar is a pretty good representation - maybe a tad lighter.

 

[RobFedoraField]

This one's going to make some of you sick.

Thrift store find, $5 for this near perfect Stratoliner. I already have a box for it too. Late-1940s, early 1950s. The pinkish color matches my Open Road.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, I HATE YOU

THe closest I've ever gotten to a Strat was a old ragged one that the band was 1/2 tore out and the wanted $40 for it.

sigh, guess I have to keep looking.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Jut got a couple hats in from Garrett today. Thanks Garrett!

First one up; Mossant Homburg style yet with a thin ribbon. I have plans to put a little swoop in the front brim and to replace the ribbon with a wider vintage one I've held in abeyance for such an occasion. It's a great hat as is but I'm gonna tweak it a little.

Next up is another (this makes four of these for me) Dobbs Hanover Square. This one's in moss green. Take that, Jimmy!! lol

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Those are both great hats Gene, but the Dobbs is super-sharp! That wide binding is great.

 

[GoneSolo]

Agreed! And in GREEN! Good show sir

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Thanks, Mr. P. and GoneSolo.

This Dobbs is the same model as Alchemy5150 is sportin' at the top of this page. They are very good alternatives to Whippets. I think he'll be pleased with his, although they are more likely '40s to early '50s era products.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

WOW, Solo. I just perused your collection. TREEE-MENDUS!

Stetson Sovereign - Mode Edge

Here's my recently purchased (for £28) Stetson Sovereign...

Anyone have any idea of age? If it helps I did find a price tag of $20 attached to the inside of the sweatband.

Cheers,

Bill

P.S. Gene - Love that colour, very jealous.

 

[Garrett]

Nice one, Bill. I sold a lid just like that one to Portolan a few months back. I'm thinking mid to late 40's.
