Shoot, moe, you got your money's worth on the Brent. Can't wait to see hat 2.
Hey all!
I went back to the thrift store where I bought that G1 to see if the detachable collar had been donated with it. I spoke to the manager, who told me she'd ask the folks who were sorting when it came in. She also invited me to look around the sorting area in case it was sitting in a "what the heck is this" pile. Didn't see it, but I did spot a pair of hats, nearly identical, and had to check them out. A Pilgrim and a Brent, both in near minty condition. Asked for dibs when they were priced. She said make an offer. I offered 40 bucks for the pair, expecting a counter offer. She just said Deal!
Here's the Brent.
The crown is 5" open, brim 2 5/8". Band is 1" , bound in 1/4" ribbon. 125g total weight.
I know I'm not the best at dating hats, but I'll venture a guess of mid 50's. Any input always welcome!
Now to get pics of the Pilgrim.

THIEF!
3 hats this week and it ain't workin'. I'm quite sure I grew several new bones overnight just for the purpose of aching.Nothing like a new hat to get you out of bed and feeling better! I do like the color. I would probably convert it to a fedora style, probably a Sacrilege.
Thanks Bama!Damn, moe. Way to go! Nice jacket, by the way.
Thanks Fruno!Shoot, moe, you got your money's worth on the Brent. Can't wait to see hat 2.
Thanks rclark!Congrats Moe! Great snags on the hats and the jacket!
Well, before any murdering happens, remember that they're too big for you!Okay Moe, I'm moving from being happy for your luck to having murder in my heart. ha ha. Great scores.

What's wrong with wanting a trifecta?"Too bad...?"
Don't get greedy, you THIEF!
Truth be told, I do feel a little bit bad about getting them so cheap. I might give 'em another twenty next time I go in...it is for a good cause after all.THIEF!
Here's the two side by side, Brent on the left.
Thanks Bob!Dang Moe! Could this be the start of a "Michael A." level run of luck? Congrats!
Very kind of you.Truth be told, I do feel a little bit bad about getting them so cheap. I might give 'em another twenty next time I go in...it is for a good cause after all.
Sorry to hear this. I prescribe 3 more hats and plenty of Lounge time. You will be back to your stylish self in no time!3 hats this week and it ain't workin'. I'm quite sure I grew several new bones overnight just for the purpose of aching.
