View attachment 74001 View attachment 74002 View attachment 74003 View attachment 74004 I snagged this one on a BIN without hesitation. Portis "The New Slant", tissue weight, very sporty and almost NOS. Not worn much if any. The seller said it was from Granpa's Attic, still in the box. The liner is very 50s Manly-Man styled with graphics of all the activities you should be doing in this hat. Nice and light (4.1 oz) with medium stiffish felt that is very smooth. Special brim stitching. I'll have to pad under the sweat a little, plenty of room as it is a size up from 7 1/4.

Nice find, Red! Gorgeous Portis!

Thanks, the liner graphics are what sold it for me. This one is light as a feather, 4.1 oz.

Sweet! That is a nice one, any indications under the sweat as to age?

My knowledge of Knox is a little lacking, Red. From the style and proportions I would say late 1940's to mid 1950's. It also has a clear tip liner that isn't plastic ...it's more of a cellophane -like material that is different than the plastic I have seen in late fifties hats.

Thanks, the tissue weight makes for a great summer hat. Here are some pics taken a few days after her bath. Followed by one taken minutes ago.

This Akubra Kiandra is my latest find. Purchased last fall at The Mad Hatter in Savannah, GA. With the recent cold temps had to hang up the straw and dig the fur felt back out. Love this hat and love the shop on River Street. Extremely comfortable and a perfect fit at a 59cm aka 7 3/8.

New to me Borsalino and Stetson box....and a GAR pin. I'll post more photos in the Borsalino Brotherhood thread.

Canadian wool Stetson. Never thought I'd buy a hat like this, but for $3.00 I thought I'd give it a chance. I don't hate it...

PS...interesting it has a leather sweat......I am not sure I have ever seen that on those wool hats.
