Post New Hats Here!

Got a package from Australia today! That's 3 hats in 2 weeks, I'll slow down now. This is the first open crown hat I've ever shaped. I think it turned out ok. I've got 2 other size 58 Akubra hats but this one is quite a bit larger. I had to shim it front and back.

you did a fantastic job

"Wiener ????", measures 54cm, no company mark, probably late 1940s early 1950s. This tiny gem came with a Hückel Hat Box I found. There are no company marks but the brown Velour is fantastic. You can see the nap shine at the crown back edge. I can't make out the word after Wiener ???? (Made?) so if you have any ideas please let me know.

"Mode" vielleicht?

Moonstone Campdraft just arrived.

I had been thinking about an OR Cattleman style center crease with long side dents because I don't have one. I remember now why I personally don't have one! This hat will be getting a diamond or teardrop crease when I have more time.

I love the Moonstone color with CD specs.

Beautiful color Jack, I love that moonstone Akubra !!

Found this nice old Dobbs at a thrifty the other day. Unfortunately, it's about 3 sizes too tight, but it was too good a find to just leave behind for $8. Anybody in a size 7 hit me up.

Edit - this one has found a head. Wish it had been mine, but I'm glad it got somewhere it'd be appreciated properly.

Lazarus? Probably originated in Columbus, OH.

Good eye! It does say Columbus right beneath. I hadn't done any research on it yet, but I wondered if it might've been Columbus, GA. That's much closer to here. Thanks for sharing that info.

Lazarus was the flagship department store in Columbus for many years. They were eaten by Macy's many years ago.

I have a 3 piece suit from Lazarus, albeit late in their game I think. Still it's very nice quality goods. And dh66, I would be a 7.

My new to me Royal Stetson Whippet arrived today. Of course I was so excited that I forgot to take pictures of the poor thing as it came. It was thoroughly disheveled and looked like it had been sleeping under a pile clothes for a few years. A nice coating of dust too. Fortunately a quick brush and a bit of steam brought it back to a mostly undented state.

I have a poor partial picture of the label,

Even though the sweatband is unusually supple I didn't want to push my luck and the label was behind not only the sweat, but the liner too.
The size tag was easier.

It fits like it's been setting on my head for years.

Sorry about the photo bomb, but I'm a happy camper.

So cool Michael,
I do believe I own the twin brother of your new whippet.

Hard to be definitive from photos, but they are certainly close. I'm really liking the colors on mine for sure. Cool.
