I'll try to remember that advice, Joe, thank you.

Quite nice Randy. I like the model name imprint on the sweatband. Heather. In case after continuing to brush it you have to remind yourself.. oooooh. That’s right. It’s a heather felt

Don't get your knickers in a knot over the wide ribbon and lack of stitching as other examples exist. More pics and details in the Playboys on Parade thread.

I do like the shine on that felt. Classy!

Fantastic Playboy Jonathan. That profile is perfection.

1982 Shudde Bros Beaver Supreme. 3 1/2 inch brim, about 5 3/4 inch open crown. Probably the dirtiest hat I've ever bought. This was a curiosity purchase as much as anything. I had no idea when Shudde used the Beaver Supreme name, but guessed this hat was at least 1960's or after because of the fake little belt-type plastic hatband, which to me is an insult to a hat of this supposed quality. Turns out the sweatband has a date handwritten on it. The felt seems good for a 80's hat. Can judge better after the hat is cleaned.

Same Shudde after cleaning, crown shaping and adding pencil curl to brim at Paris Hatters. Also replaced the cheap plastic hatband with a ribbon. The original sweatband also had to be replaced because it shrank during cleaning.

1940s (?) Dobbs Game Bird. I think the price reads $8.50 . It’s in need of a cleaning.

Holy smokes, Bob! It’s good to know they exist.

Grand Teton Hat Co. 50 X in natural. Some unfortunate moth nips.

 

[StoryPNW]

Kind of late in the summer to be buying straws but when a USFS Stetson in a long oval came up for a decent price I had to bite.

Rand’s Custom Hatters 8X (50% beaver) from 2014. Made for Remington Arms Co. Not sure if I should clean it or go with the distressed look. It’s probably not distressed enough for that market.

 

[BobHufford]

1960s low-crown, wide-brim Resistol 3X. I really like this style, but my high-crown head makes it a no-go.

 

[BobHufford]

1960s Don-Hoy (Bandera) cow-girl hat that came with the above Resistol. The moths liked it.

I’d buy as many of these as I could regardless of the time of year. These are great hats, and I’ll bet you’ll like yours.

A great hat in size 7 ⅛? Say it isn’t so.

Thanks Brent and Joe!

Pedigree porkpie back-bow. Cool triple stitched binding. The felt appears supple enough to recrease if desired.

Quite the haul, Bob, but the Game Bird takes the cake!
