How soon we forget this stingy thread...

Gots to love them Stingies, or as I call 'em, "SLIMBRIMS!"

Looks like @mmbarnes' more laid-back brother!

Mayser stingy that our @Redfokker procured for me.

Thanks again Mike!

Newest Stingy in the stable (I seem to have quite a few...) Stetson Royal De Luxe back bow with a pork pie crown. The brim is right on the "stingy" edge at 2". This hat is very high quality for the era, which is probably late 1950s. Key hole size tag and maple leaf in Stetson crest. The felt is very supple with a factory pork pie/telescope crease. It also has one of the lower crowns in my collection at 4". Super nice hand and good quality sweat.

Red, you remind me of Lee Marvin.

Why, thank you sir. He was one of my favorite actors.

I hardly ever leave things as they are for long. This vintage Cavanagh is shown earlier in this thread (and others). After looking at other hats similar to this one, I noticed that most have a taller crown. This hat is so easy to work with, it will do anything for me. The crown at the front is now 4 1/4" and 3 3/4" at the rear, I added a little rake. I also gave it a sort of squared at the corners tear drop bash with a little pinch. I tried to make it as flat as possible at top, with the rake though.
I actually tried to copy a hat that I saw on the Twilight Zone (Netflix) about a used car salesman who could not tell a lie (forced to tell the truth), pretty funny.

This is one of the things that is keeping me from owning a true Pork Pie--crown height. Well, that and crown taper. The crown height you listed would be the absolute lowest I could go and still have the hat fit on my head properly, but the crown would also have to be completely straight-sided. Almost every Porker I've seen is pre-creased at 4" or lower and would sit on top of my head like a cheap party hat. Also, I'd need a brim about 2" wide. Other than that, your hat is exactly how I'd like mine to look...except maybe brown...and a ribbon slightly lighter in color than the felt...and...

Nice details on this Dobbs. I forgot about Inspector Gadget wearing one that looked like this. Kind of cool Bowen.

60’s Stetson Royal, brim @ 1.75”
2” ribbon replaced with skulls of bone.
Nice felt by the way.

Insane!! I really like it, NJack. Is that the original bash?

Is an interior photo possible, at your convenience?

F. G. M. in dark green velour. Probably early to mid 1960s.

It has spent two days in a stretcher but it’s still a little snug so the slow stretch continues. I’ve lucked into so great velour hats recently.

Super rich green color. Good luck on the stretch, this one deserves some head time.

Latest stingy: it arrived in a box half the size of a shoe box! On the plus side, it’s still in fine shape and the hat set me back less than the cost of lunch.

It arrived sans liner but I remedied that:

Now on to steaming the ribbon.

Nice Dobbs Brent. Where did you come up with that liner, sweet color.

Thanks Mike. The liner was an Etsy purchase just for such an eventuality.

Stack-o-stingy velour Germans. I'll be posting detail shots of these, just had to get this thread back on the first page.

I like all three. Were these from Stefan?
