Post New Hats Here!

[TheOldFashioned]

Knox Twenty, sans Ignacio.

This was advertised 6-7/8 with 2.5" brim, but is 7-1/4 (which is good) with a stingy brim just shy of 2". Even Ignacio couldn't work his magic to get the brim as advertised. I guess batting .500 on a description isn't too bad.

I’ve run out of adjectives, Max. Some truly fine hats.

I received another one today from @Bill Hughes.

Here is his description:

<<
1950-60s Stetson Whippet like fedora

Restored Stetson in Whippet style size 7 1/4. Brim is 2 1/2. Has new sweatband.
Color of fur felt is very light sage green almost a cream.
Crown ribbon is Rust with windcord.
Binding is pale champagne.
Felt has few imperfections but it is clean. >>

Normally when I get a new-to-me hat I put it aside and study it for a while. This one? I steamed and adjusted the crown a bit, putting a diamond in and bringing the front down a touch, popped it on my head, and went out to run errands.

I am blown away by the colors, feel, brim swoop, and overall shape. The proportions are perfect for me.

This one definitely falls into my top 3.

Glad you like it. I think you improved the crown.

This is my first Vita-Felt. I got this from @splintercellsz aka Justin Seagraves. A Stetson from the 40s (I think). The model is "The Avenue". I need to re-stitch the seam on the sweatband and replace the missing bow. It had several spots but I was able to virtually remove them with Scout Felt Hat Cleaner.

I want this one in pure Zebra fur! Notice that it does have a wind trolly, this is a serious hat!

I have never seen one like it, Mike. I don't know the word for it in Spanish or English: depending on the angle you look at the red stripe, it is either black or red. Is there a word for that?

Optical illusion? Or just plain cool...
