Post New Hats Here!

[Redfokker]

This one is the oldest in my growing collection. Stetson Premier Derby that has some potential. She has seen some hard times, although the ribbon and brim are still in good shape. I did find some issues under the sweat though...old mold! The sweat is needing some restitching, but is actually pretty intact. It looks like this hat has been in a flood and dried out badly. In the coming days, I will seek guidance from the assembled gurus here.

But I'm not liking the plain telescope. If I can put some cup into the brim I'll go with a center crease & wide set pinches in the style of the pre-1940's Stetson dress.

Tele looks good. Nice job but I like your idea of pre 40's dress better.

I agree with Bob. That ribbon would work well with the planned crease. You did a great job on the telescope though!

Can anyone tell me anything about Wrangler hats? I have this one that is labeled 4X Beaver.

I've seen it intimated on the web that they are made by Resistol.

The crease and dimensions, more or less, as my Resistol Stagecoach.

This may be a model called Boone, if it's recent production, and they sell online in the $85 to 105 range. Reputed to be fur, not sure about the beaver part. It's another recent local find.

Thanks! I never got the telescope tightened up because I could tell I wasn't going to like it before I got that far. If I can get a bit of cup pressed into the brim then I think I'll like the center crease with big pinches.

Here's Jared's BSHW to demonstrate the cup:

I managed to get a bit of cup on 3 sides when I worked my Woomera:

All I need is a small A cup to make me happy this time!

Nice work on the tele. I think it is a bit low crown, so yes, go for the planned crease.

I've seen some on ebay but can't really tell. Probably Hat Co make them.
Creases and dimensions are all look a like, I have a 3x beaver Resistol that have the same dimensions of most Stagecoach Hats I own (and was sold to me as being a black Stagecoach but it wasn't).

 

[Hurricane Jack]

I think it is a bit low crown...

What I had in mind was more of a planters hat, not a Hang 'Em High, Clint Eastwood hat.

Not enough crown for that, or wrong crown shape?

Thanks for the info Joao. Seems an okay hat if nothing special.

Not being a wool hat, I thinks it's pretty good.

The coolest T&J I've seen.

I like it HJ. Very pretty.
Can't wait to see the crease you put in her.
