As always, I look forward to seeing where inspiration leads you.

Great finds! Nice to see old Soft Felts. Did they have tip patches? Is the liner missing in the first one?

Nice looking old Stetson. I'm interested in the vintage of this one. The original wearer modified the curl of the homburg brim in a similar way to my "Olcott" Hommie. Great color.

Another stunning Homburg. Would love to see more of the details on this one. Any mfg tags under the sweat? What does the liner look like?

This one is gorgeous!! The hats I would trade away for this one. I love the 1/4 inch binding with the slight pencil curl. Absolutely classic!

Great old Stetson's. Adding my name to the call for more photos of the labels and stamps - especially on the extra quality.

Another excellent find. The fabric sweat is of interest, I wonder how common these were. Anyone have an idea about the vintage of this one? Looks fantastic with the ribbon style. Yay!

Thanks for the additions. I shopped at Rogers Peet with my Dad growing up in NYC. Here is what the liner might have looked like...
