Great find! I really like the liner and form.

You Are correct Sir!

Frank, Great looking Boater. Baltimore was somewhat of a straw hat center back in the day.

Hello Mayserwegener , you are correct sir, I have read many articles about Baltimore and the straw hat business there .
I read one article that talked about "hat day" I think it was May 15 but anyway everyone would go to the baltimore home opener of the season and they would punch their fist thru their old boater from the year before and just before the first pitch everyone would toss they now " broken" boater down to the field and then the next day you would see everybody with their new boaters on untill the next year and then do it again , very interesting.

All the Best, Fashion Frank

That hat looks great on you Jeff!!! I like the thin ribbons you wear but that one has to be one of the best styles I have seen you sport.
Pretty cool you found a Scottish Rite page in the sweat!!!

Mark your black beauty is fantastic! Great roll of the dice, you WON!

WOW-za Jeff! You hit the jackpot with that one, sir. That could be your new signature hat. It's that good on you!

Had a bit of time to take a brush to the Stetson and apply a bit of steam to shape it.

Open crowned and brushed. Not perfect, but better than it was fresh out of the box.

The ribbon is wrinkled, but I hope the steam will smooth it out a bit.

A few shots of the sweat and liner, along with a pic of the ferrule starting to corrode.

A couple of shots after applying some steam and working it into a rough teardrop crease.

Looking forward to wearing this one tomorrow!

Figured I'd post a couple of pics of a hat for my Halloween costume that came in today as well.

Anyone want to guess who I'll be dressed up as?

Wellington that I couldn't stand to leave sitting on the shelf. Identical blocking to my other one. Found padding in the sweatband that appears to have been there since 1951.

Wow Splintz - the sweatband looks unworn. The bow is super too. Another great find.

Thank you, fellas! This one looks to have been stored for most of its life. I do like that bow. Really sets it off
