That is one of the sweetest Playboys I've seen. I understand they made them with and without the lining and considered it a "summer felt." I'm just itching to get a nice "summer" felt hat to wear all year round. I hate having my nice lined felts hanging on my wall waiting to get worn. I bought a beautiful Campdraft from a member here and the lining was removed (I have it though to put back in) and it makes a nice summer hat. Still too hot for the 90 degree days like today but it works a lot better than with the lining in.
The other day I was watching Douglas posting some really nice hats in the Classifieds - none of which were my size.
Then to my surprise, I say he was selling a really nice green Playboy - in 71/8 too! Needless to say, I jumped at the chance to get hold of it and here it is; my very first Stetson!
The Playboy is in super condition and I really like the lightweight soft felt - it feels very much like my vintage Silver Borsalino.
Needless to say, I'm very happy with my new hat - thanks Douglas!
