Penney's Marathon. 2.5" brim, 4.5" to the pinch, bound edge and a sort of stitched ribbon.
The felt is stiffer than the brown Marathon I have, despite having "Custom Quality" on the sweat, and also lacks a wind trolley which the brown one has but was quite a good price on the auction site. A little tight, but will hopefully adjust.

Thanks! Took a few pics this evening..
A FEPSA box has arrived.
Well, it's not a hat yep but... a WIP.
Massive. Was my first thought.
To compare, the Stetson Big Country with a 5" brim.
The local Goodwill hasn't been producing much this Halloween season, but the local vintage store was putting out the autumn/winter collection today and they had this,

Finally a Silverbelly OR.

It was being fussy about the crease so now it's sitting on my head with a Cattleman, no photos.

Somewhat the worse for moth visitations, but the price was right and no shipping.
Also got this Sovereign as a possible cool weather biking companion

It should be aerodynamically favorable.
On the other end I got these Red Wing Iron Rangers, but that is a subject for a different forum I suppose.

Now I'm off to buy some boot laces. And possibly stop back at the store to look at a few things I didn't pull the trigger on.

Nice save, it looks great now. I don't think it is all that new, are there any maufacture tags under the sweat? The metric/US size tag is a clue to age. Maybe 1970s?I bought this squished and dusty Gun Club on Monday and it arrived today. I don't know Stetsons but this looks like a modern/HatCo Dune in acorn that's just been a bit bleached by the sun maybe?
The felt is a bit weathered but no holes and it fits great, so I brushed it and steamed it to an open crown.
And then I steamed it again and went with the teardrop and pinch front, which is the only bash I seem to be capable of and the one this hat probably remembers anyway.
Happy days!
Thanks Jack. It will be a regular in the rotation this winter.
That pic makes me think of some of the hats in the Stetson Staple Styles catalog that carouselvic posted recently. It's going to be a monster! Might take years for the Portuguese rabbit population to recover from the manufacture of that hat body!On the block
Great start Joao!On the block
True. Overland...
I left 6 hat bodies in the store so... it not my fault if that happened.Might take years for the Portuguese rabbit population to recover from the manufacture of that hat body!
Me too!
It's not the first I make, it's the 4th but 2nd and 3rd were block tests and this one is the true 2nd and first to use really the block. The block is almost swallowed by the hat body!
Jeez, at this stage it looks like a pacifier for a hippopotamus.On the block
Looks like a nice one, Steve. A bit short brimmed for my taste but good you have found one. Never seen a Resistol hat before (made under license or original) in my searches for hats so quite rare I think. Judging by form only I agree that it's probably sixties. Not so many hats in your size I gather, but how was the collection on offer in the shop there?Here's my find from my trip to the Episode store in Copenhagen. I didn't even come close to Stefan's 9 in Amsterdam, but I'm still pleased with it [emoji5]. A Resistol, made under license in Germany, grey fedora. I cleaned it up and gave it a steaming. Turned out okay.
I particularly like the bow on the sweatband and the wide ribbon. It's nearly 5cm. It also has a Don Draper/Mad Men look to it, which I like.
No idea of age. 60's perhaps?
