My "whipped" Whippet arrived. At least I can say I owned one... :rolleyes:

I'm guessing this is '50s, but I'll let others who know better correct me if necessary.

Looks like it might have been from Harry Coffee's clothing store in Fresno or Bakersfield, CA.

Not my size so I'll probably put it up on the 'Bay at some point for someone who needs a project.

I'd say mid 50s ... the early side of the mid 50s ... if that makes any sense :)
and I bet you will get that thing looking more than respectable
can't wait to see

It is indeed a project. A real barn (Chicken Coop) find. There is a beauty in there somewhere! This should be a fun ride.

A local find from today.

The only ID and I haven't found anything mentioning it yet, except that there was a Willner Bros clothing store that opened in Des Moines Iowa in 1906.

I never thought I would ... but I'm loving this style straw.
In a Felt I would never wear this style... but there is something about it in a straw that I feel.

here's my Knox

The hat is in crazy good condition

Why anyone would write their name over a crest is beyond me.. but anyway

hahaha.... right on !!!
just couple Jersey guys in silver hats ... what ?

Thanks for prompting me to look at mine. Also from Woolf Bros. Slightly more restrained customer personalization. Woolf had a store in the historic Country Club Plaza in Kansas City near Jack Henry (seller of the homburg I posted earlier this week). Cool beans!

ps... Brad once said that Frank wore his in Cavanagh.
