took a chance on this Dobbs Country Comfort ... one because I never heard of it before ... and two because it reminded me of my Railbird
Got it for next to nothing

Not in perfect condition... but it's a sweet fuzzy little 50s number ... I dig it

It will be a great autumn/winter piece

Heather and fuzzy: what more could you ask for? Better condition maybe, but that's a great looking hat.

thank you sir ... yeah I really like it ...
I've been getting more into the felt band hats lately ... they have a certain charm about them
it has a very sporty hunting or fishing vibe ... maybe a day at the horse track type hat like the Railbird ... I dig it

Champ Featherweight I scored at a local antique shop for $20. Another 10 got me the original box. Box says Featherweight in Charcoal Gray. This must have been a higher model featherweight as it's dressier than my tan one which has the same box, sweat, name etc. Pics are after soaked it in naphtha and brushed. This is the best it would cleanup.

It's possible neither has the exact box the hat was intended for. Although the tan one is clearly labeled size 7 Champ Featherweight, the box I got it in from an estate sale is labeled a 7 1/8 Polara in Black. The grey one is simply labeled 7 1/8 Champ but the box states 7 1/4 Featherweight in "Char Grey". Both brim widths are 2 1/4"

Thanks for letting me share my 2 Champ hats.

Just more evidence of how amazing people are around here

This showed up today... a gift from Doug @FedOregon to my daughter for absolutely no other reason than that the man has a beautifully kind heart.

Doug she was so excited while opening it...
She (and my wife) loves the hat ... and the personalized hand written note to her was just a wonderful touch

You are a good man my friend

The fact that this is the 3rd time folks here on the lounge have sent my children gifts out of the kindness of their hearts (you know who you are) speaks volumes about the company I keep around here

Thank you Doug

My pleasure, for real. I love to see people happy. The joy I get from a simple offering like this is extraordinary. I'm thrilled to hear she likes it.
