Post New Hats Here!

No price too?
A great candidate for a beater too!
Nice catch sir![emoji111]️

The price was indeed very nice, which isn’t always the case with hats in antique stores.
It’s in pristine condition so definitely not a beater. Resistol 4X hats of this era are nicer by far than current Stetson 7X hats that sell for over $200 (my opinion only). I’ll most likely keep it as is until I get inspired.

That hair looks like it should still be swimming.

^^^^^ You can sometimes find them cheaper on the used market.

Bob, we need to go to the casino because you are one lucky hombre. What a steal.

I've been looking for sometime for a Stetson (real) panama in an Or style. Just right with a 5 1/2" OC and a 2 3/4"brim. Embarrassed to say so but I finally found one when I opened up one of my generic hat boxes to mail a hat. There it sat. It's either early on-set alzheimer's or hat amnesia. I think it's the latter. I gotta sell more hats.

That's funny! Pretty cool hat. It looks well made.

Part II

Mike @Redfokker was kind enough to take these shots of it in full sunlight. The ribbon looks black in the previous post, but shows it's in fact dark blue below.

Haven't got a clue how to date this one.

That hat is beautiful, Stefan!

Last one for tonight:

Phoenix Hat Co. in pecan beaver.

The indoor lighting really brings out the green in the felt. In actuality, the color is brown with green undertones...pecan

My goodness, Mike. You've gone whole hog with this one. Beaver, longhair, shark gills and blue. Can't really think of anything else! I suggest Mikes' Mako as its name

For the first time ever, my local “antiques mall” turned up a hat in my size. No mothing or stains and a supple sweat and in one of my favorite factory western creases:

Resistol 4X Tycoon in Pecan

A little ironing and shaping and it will be ready to go.

See? They are out there; you just need to find them, Brent. Good score.

Thanks, Reggie.

Now in my 'go-to' package. Stetson OR created for the PA Game Commission. It's mine now! The felt? Clay-like. Yet shapeable with no steam.

Came in a couple of days ago. Had to have this because I missed out on a similar Dunn&Co shortly before this one.
Tress&Co velour, or Coypu Finish (whatever you want to call it) in grey, Size 56, with the brim at 6cm and the crown 11cm at the pinch. Because it came with the date stamped original box I can say it's from 1950. Nice hand and soft felt, esprecially one the crown, which did not want to sit and stay shaped in my usual picture set-up.
Coypu means nutria of course, but it's hard to tell if the felt is actually nutria.

Ok, you win! That is a perfect name for this one, "the Mako" Have to check for some pictures of the Mako Shark to go with it. Thanks friend.

Just arrived, 1970's 3X OR in dark gray. Dusty but in excellent shape, the best description for color would be Stetson's current Caribou I think. It was double boxed & came in the original 1965 Stetson Centennial box (not shown) which is only in fair to poor condition, but I'm happy to have it.

In need of some dust control & a bit of shaping before better pics will be taken.
