Picked up this old English boater while in Lancashire last weekend, the ribbon was a complete write-off so I made myself two swappable replacements, in blue and brown, matching the size/style of the original bow... am looking forward to the summer so I can wear it with my seersucker suit and blue/taupe saddle shoes or white Royal Navy bucs...

Three new hats scored today. I put one in the wrong thread, one in the german one so that leaves the last.

A ladies straw hat

with as bonus hopefully a happy gf which is priceless.

Finally, my second Lee hat arrived. Been looking to update the first one, (purchased in 1971) and now after 42 years, I have Lee number two. That's how long it takes to find great vintage hats in BIG sizes. Couldn't be much more pleased or delighted. Even had to go out and buy a new camera for this (good excuse!?).

A Lee GOLD LABEL TWENTY! Top o' the line, and the difference in the felt (compared to Lee No. 1) is astounding. Not in perfect condition, but VERY good; even the mothing described by the seller is almost impossible to find...







IMG] that's left...

Still working the copper theme...





In just the right light, at the right angle, the nibbles. The second picture is how the nibbles look normally... invisible!

Spectacular Charlie!

 

[vintage68]

Yeah, love the copper color ribbon. Don't see many of those these days......

 

[DesertDan]

A tru-Lee beautiful lid Charlie and you wear it well, congratulations!

I got this Black Stagecoach.
7 1/4 long oval that is a bit tight. The silver stagecoach is also 7 1/4 but not so tight and more confortable.
6" crown, 4 1/4" curled brim (with). Seller added a ($10) brush that I appreciate as i was needing another.
A $38.5 hat in what year? Can't figure when Resistol used white size tags, I think it's the first I saw. Also didn't know Stagecoach's had model names.

Congrats, Charlie. I saw that one show up in the bay and get fished out quickly. I was hoping you were the one!

 

[mayserwegener]

Charlie, Your Lee GOLD LABEL TWENTY looks fantastic!

 

[ManofKent]

Charlie - beautiful Lee

Joao - great find but will you cope with that tiny brim?

Man, that's a beautiful hat buddy! Really nice! I know that Stetson, at one time, used white size tags for their Long Oval sizes. Maybe that could be the reason for the white size tag in your Resistol...Maybe '70s vintage?

Pretty Please next time...
