Shoot, moe, you got your money's worth on the Brent. Can't wait to see hat 2.

Hey all!
I went back to the thrift store where I bought that G1 to see if the detachable collar had been donated with it. I spoke to the manager, who told me she'd ask the folks who were sorting when it came in. She also invited me to look around the sorting area in case it was sitting in a "what the heck is this" pile. Didn't see it, but I did spot a pair of hats, nearly identical, and had to check them out. A Pilgrim and a Brent, both in near minty condition. Asked for dibs when they were priced. She said make an offer. I offered 40 bucks for the pair, expecting a counter offer. She just said Deal!

Here's the Brent.

The crown is 5" open, brim 2 5/8". Band is 1" , bound in 1/4" ribbon. 125g total weight.
I know I'm not the best at dating hats, but I'll venture a guess of mid 50's. Any input always welcome!
Now to get pics of the Pilgrim.

Damn, moe. Way to go! Nice jacket, by the way.

Nothing like a new hat to get you out of bed and feeling better! I do like the color. I would probably convert it to a fedora style, probably a Sacrilege.

3 hats this week and it ain't workin'. I'm quite sure I grew several new bones overnight just for the purpose of aching.

Here's the Pilgrim.

The crown on this one is 5 1/4" open, brim is 2 5/8". 1" band, 1/4" binding. 130g, fake wind trolley, onionskin liner tip protector. My age guess is the same as the Brent, mid 50's.

Too bad there wasn't a Marathon there too...this guy liked Sears and Montgomery Ward, why not J.C. Penney's?

Thanks Bama!
I had been going through a long drought at this thrift store. I think it's over!

Thanks Fruno!

Thanks rclark!
Sometimes you're just at the right place at the right time...with money in wallet! It's great when it happens!

 

[moehawk]

Okay Moe, I'm moving from being happy for your luck to having murder in my heart. ha ha. Great scores.

Michael

Well, before any murdering happens, remember that they're too big for you!
And thanks.

"Too bad...?"
Don't get greedy, you THIEF!

What's wrong with wanting a trifecta?
Or would that be a Triple Crown?

 

[moehawk]

THIEF!

Truth be told, I do feel a little bit bad about getting them so cheap. I might give 'em another twenty next time I go in...it is for a good cause after all.

Threes a crowd.
