Ooh, that's a good one. I didn't know that Panama Bob offered such quality.
Bates Supreme.
With the exception of the stitched on fake wind trolly, the quality of construction is first class and the felt itself is close to (but not quite) the soft quality of my similar coloured Stetson 15.
I just learned a new thing!If so, it's just another style of wind trolley, meant to be looped around a button rather than buttoned through a buttonhole.
Size 59cm. Very early 1960s. Beautiful attention to detail. More in the German - Austrian and Homburg threads.
Looks great David. When you say fake wind trolley, is it that the button is sewn on? Does the cord loop around the fixed button and come off? If so, it's just another style of wind trolley, meant to be looped around a button rather than buttoned through a buttonhole. I have a couple of 1930's Stetsons that use this style rather than the more familiar version... this Stetson Aristocrat is one.
