Tony...

Forgive me for asking but, Who is tonyb? website?

OK.. heres the new [old] Stetson..
As a few of you may know I really like thin ribbons and 2 3\4 inch brims, not to mention a diamond crease.
So.... what do you think of the dry crease on this one ?
A center dent that this felt just seemed to want, I have to say the diamond looked pretty good also! But the center was what I was thinking of on this one.
I have to add that at less than $85 shipped this hat was a steal!

Rusty, I thought you gave up buying vintage lids? That's a good reason to get back to it though. Sometimes those old hats just cry out for a center dent. That one's a beaut.

Tony is one of us. I have two of his hats, both of which are amazing. He's a heck of a guy who will make you a very nice hat.

My favorite is the green fedora.

Beautiful, both of them, NB.

Amen to that. I got so caught up by the vintage hats (as usual for me) that I forgot to congratulate Not-Bogart13 on those customs. Those are great examples. I like the names he gives them too.

Thanks Bob!
Didnt give up... just finding them in my size and a price below what a custom cost is hard!

Here ya go.....

I really like the side profile on that one, that forward lean in the pinch is the look I really like. That background also looks intriguing. Any chance of a wider shot of that?

 

[jimmy the lid]

Chiliarches...

If you get a chance, how about posting a couple of shots of the inside of that Strat. You know, sweat, liner, etc., etc.

Thanks!

Has anyone ever seen or heard of one of these before?

I tried to do a bit of research, (Google) but didn't have much luck. It pointed me to westerns and Ruffia....?

I thought it was interesting and it was only $13.

It's very light weight, soft felt, and of course rollable, so it's very pliable.

I couldn't get any close up detailed without the flash to show, but it has perforated air holes on each side as well.

It also has an interesting crease sewn down the middle of the crown, front to back.

It came with this interesting little (clip on) pin. It looks like a red cross emblem, or maybe swiss? [huh] Maybe someone here can shed a little light on it for me.....

That hat is just all-around great - liner, sweat, color, etc. I especially like that little bit of roll to the brim - I've had two like that and they look great either snapped or as-is, semi-Homburgish. I look forward to seeing how it looks on your head, given how well you wear Homburgs.

Rusty, thats super! Those older hats just beg for a classic crease like a center dent. I'm surprised you tried a diamond on it though... .

Now...you just gonna hold it or you gonna let us see you wearin' it?

 

[Mr. Paladin]

warmentrout-Dreispitz-Bolt: Great old rescues and saves on those hats. I love that homburg in particular, but I am about as addicted to those as I am to ORs.

 

[Mr. Paladin]

My lovely wife surprised me with this beauty for our anniversary. She found it on a thrift shop in Providence R.I while visiting her folks last week. She said the liner was falling apart and it didn't have a sweat band. She had it cleaned, blocked and also put a leather band. Not the best pictures as I just took them and it's dark. The color is a grey silverish one. You guys like it? I love it!

Thats a great hat and obviously, a great wife! Well done, sir!

Blue Strat

Thank you to everyone for the kind comments...quite a response on this one!

I forgot a key fact - I actually got this hat from Douglas. No great surprise that he'd have a hat like this around, hm? He posted photos a while back, which you may remember.

JtL, here are some inside shots of the hat that Douglas sent me - there is no liner. Let me know if you want more.

 

[jimmy the lid]

Thanks, Chili -- that's just what I was hoping for. Man, that hat is in super condition! Absolutely stunning lid! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Cheers,
