Hats by the hundred sell it but there is a long wait...

Probably because they have to order them from Everything Australian.

Stetson Mode Edge.

Everything is nice about it except the sweatband needs to be rejoined. Brim is just shy of 3" at 2-7/8 making it the biggest one I have. Open crown is 6". Colour is dove grey with black shark gill ribbon.

Exceptionally nice hat.

 

[mayserwegener]

Hückel (Weilheim) "Chamois", 57cm, probably mid to late 1950s. Fantastic felt color / finish and easily dry creases. Great form and as usual very fine dressing work. The feather came with it and matches nicely with the felt color.

Thank you, a nice felt as well. No liner. Any idea of the age?

Stars in the crest and older re-order tag points to 1940s.

Excellent hat.

the size tag tells me that it is post 52
so more likely early 50s

Listen to Moonie. I was going from memory and thought those red re-order tags meant pre-1950.

in my studies I've read that only post '52 did "Stetson" not appear above the size ... and it was only for a very short time

Grrrrr. So much for saving up for another hat. At $50 a tire, my new hat is going to have to wait a little longer. I am trying to decide if I want the Akubra Cattleman or the Leisure Time. Color will be in Graphite Grey as soon as I decide and get over this little setback. Too many expensive hobbies.

Stupendous Steve! All the bells and whistles.

Circumstances favored me as today the welterweight, wider-brimmed Leon Drexler Stroller that I was waiting for came in the mail today.

The felt with a combined Angora finish and Welterweight crown, white gold silk 'galloon edge' and aqua silk ribbon. The brim is 2 1/2 inches wide, which is 1/4" wider than the standard for a Stroller.

The trim colors on this hat are bolder than my usual dour palette, but that is very much by design. The welterweight crown is very light, which when coupled with its open-weave linen liner should make it a fair warmer-weather hat. (The Angora finish slightly defeats that, I suppose, but I have my reasons)

(N.b. There are fine droplets of water on the hat in these pictures because I had been steaming it to work out an impression in the 'fur' of the angora finish by the packaging)

From more-or-less a three quarters angle. (Full size here)

From the front. (Full size here)

From the left side, displaying what Stephen Temkin (the hatter) describes as a, "stubby bow," and includes on his Skyliner model. (Full size here)

From behind. (Full size here)

From the right side. (Full size here)

From above. (Full size here)

From below, featuring the linen liner and hints of the perforated sweatband. (Full size here)

Now I need to mix up an Old Pal and settle in for the evening, because I have a 10:05 train to catch tomorrow.

I know what I'll be wearing.

1900s Stetson Exposition Medal featherweight "parton"

This hat is in flawless shape. Has remnants of a newspaper under the sweat, the price sticker is even there.

Wow ten bucks! With a hat that obviously old, that was a chunk of change when it was in the hat store! A beaut!

$10 in 1935 is $180 in 2017...
