Simple is simply the best, Part II.

New to me Dobbs Cross Country. Unlined, shallow teardrop crease, no pinch, super light weight, brown on brown. I would compare the felt to my 50's OR and Strat, it is really amazing and so light I hardly know I have it on.

Lightweight unlined hats: love em! This is a fine example, Randy.

A stellar hat, Greg. Congrats.

Most days these would be a standout hat, but today I’m bottom rung with this Stetson Sovereign Twenty. 2 3/4” felted edge brim and a wonderful gray with strong blue tones.

Very nice, Brent. Good catch.

I'm just hoping it will cool down from the high 90s soon so I can wear it!

Wear it anyway. Too fine a hat not too!

 

[TheOldFashioned]

It’s a bit like following Alan or Eric in the What Hat Are You Wearing Today thread; no matter how nice you thought your hat was....

I may have on more than one occasion held off on a post for that very reason. It's like, "****, can't follow that."

Not my usual but when I saw 7X CB I read the description and looked at the photos once. The BIN was a nice one. I don't think many others saw it before I pulled the trigger. After having plenty of time to study the pics I suspected it might be Canadian made with the foil size tag. I reached out to a couple of buds and they had suspicions as well but no confirmation. It was very dirty and musty with with some markings under and along the edge of the brim. Steaming and sponging helped but it needed a gas bath. That helped but some markings remain that I'll worry about later if I keep the hat.

As soon as I picked it up it was obviously a 7X CB. The finish is as fine as a great suede or buckskin. The density of the felt is what draws me to these hats, along with how easy it is to mold the crowns. They will 'pop' in and out as you please. This one is particularly soft and is finished to more of a dress weight than either of my other two. The brim is as flexible as Gumby and transitions from the down to up position with ease. The Mode edge is really thin and finished to a standard I've not experienced. I have a 20 mode edge and have owned a Guild Edge and Cavanagh and they were all nice but don't match up. Clear Beaver on the liner tip with maple leaves all around. Oil skin liner tip protector. Great 2" sweat and the liner is heavy with the seam to the right. The ribbon could be described as Champagne in color and it is unique. Look at the pics in direct sun. Hard to find a stitch anywhere on it or the bow. Nice and straight blocking. 2 1/2 x 5 1/2.

Hell of a find, Cuz! That's one fine looking hat. Congrats!

Nice! I've never seen a felted edge on a western style hat like that. I like it. I imagine the felt to be pretty thin and lightweight?

Thank you, sir. Hope you and yours are well and your work is keeping you indoors in the cool spots.

All's well down here. Hope the same up your way. Sure looks it from the hat. Gonna try to get up that direction when it cools down a little and take in some fall color in the hills. Maybe we can catch up and I can see that 7X up close.

Boxing up some hats I found this Stetson 3X OR I forgot I had. I know I haven't posted this up before. Check it out @ size 7-7/8! Pretty rare & hard to find I would think.

Found another 3X OR with Trolley I had forgotten I had also.

 

[Bamaboots]

size 7-7/8

Wow! One you would have to pad.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Sometimes, rarely, even some old hat is my size

"Lobbia" Barbisio REX size 59, black felt

Sold in Berlin at the Max Eckard store

The interest for this Barbisio is the fact that inside the sweat band there is stamped the origin of the skin: Paris - France and a date that I cannot decipher the month and day, but the year is 1939 (for a clear picture I have to use professional equipment)

The felt is very soft and silky, in its composition there is fur and also wool

These are the dimensions: 5.5 curled brims, 14 cm open crown. the finishes are first class

A eighty years old hat from Sagliano Micca will worth some thrilling in delivery

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Wow! One you would have to pad.

This could have Charlie's name all over it.

 

[Bamaboots]

This could have Charlie's name all over it.

My thoughts as well.

Thanks. It’s light for a western. The felt is more like a standard dress weight than a true lightweight.

Once upon a time, in a closet far, far away, lived a beautiful princess named ONE HUNDRED. Handsome prince RANDY discovered her and freed her from the turmoil of darkness. To enhance her elegance, Squire Rick, also known as the PHOENIX, was consulted by the good prince. The decision was made to put the princess in the hands of ART the FAWCETTmaster to make her radiant beyond compare. The master worked his magic and gave the princess curls and a crown fit for a (Mc)QUEEN. Even TOM HORN was impressed with her beauty. From that day on, the prince and princess, now king and queen, lived happily ever after in holy hatrimony!

That is one great looking Stetson 7x. The box is the icing on the cake.

I'm the same on the colors. Moon used to assist me with the boxes and their dates. No idea if this box is original other than what the seller said. Appears to be old. It's paper printed graphics applied like wallpaper over the box. The box and its top have fabric taped seams with a heavy string tie on each side. Some things just seem to show their age and this box does. What age? I don't know.

The box is a piece of art work in its own right. You scored a double win there Bama. Love to see more pics of it.

Thank you all. Yes, this really is a fantastic hat. I hated for it to be with Art so long but it was worth the wait. The brim was way wider than I wear but I did not want to tamper with this caliber of hat and I love the old western look so it made sense to curl the brim.

I didn't measure the crown before I sent it off but I'm sure it is 6 inches or very close to it. Finished, it is 5 1/4 in back and 4 1/4 in front. The brim is 3 1/2 overall, so finished it is about 3 inches with about a 1/2 inch curl.

The size tag is off but I do have it ( 7 1/4). Frankly, I have not looked under the sweat or liner very much but I'll get to that in a few days.

Thanks again and be sure that I will be posting more pics of this beauty as fall comes around!

Doesn't look too wide on you at all, Randy. Tame that bronco, buddy.
