Here's my Sunbody with the 3" brim. We were on the way to church this morning and my wife snapped a shot of me.

Oh, yes, we're talking about hats...nice hats, gents (and brats, and motorcycles!)

And cool behind-the-wheel shots!
Restored Resistol
Last year I won a lot of three old, beat up Resistol fedoras. All dated from the late '40s, I'm guessing. I've been slowly working on them, and recently finished off the most extensive renovation.
This hat was really shot, but the felt was intact and had a nice bound edge. I stripped it down completely, cleaned, installed new sweat, liner, and ribbon. I have a long way to go on the bows, but this is probably my best effort to date.
Anyway, I wore it today!

posting this on his behalf-WINGNUT!
This is FL's own Wingnut, looking dashingly handsome in his vintage beaver top hat worn Saturday night with vintage white tie and tails to the Art Deco Ball.
Held at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, CA.
Moi (sorry no hat) with Wingnut, taken at the end of the evening. We had one dance together.
Me solo, striking a pose or two. Couldn't resist throwing these in just for fun! Yeah, I ain't wearing a hat (for once!) ...so sue me...

Too bad it's only the family mini van! But my other car is a truck.
And Ande1964, that's a nice looking hat. I haven't seen the before pics, but the after pics look good.

Bob...the Sunbody looks great!...but what I want to know is how do you mow a brat?![huh]BobC said:This afternoon I mowed then torched some brats for dinner. My Sunbody makes a great sweat hat. I put a wider horsehair band on it, and now I like it even better.
Also...what are the specs on the Playboy and the Flagship?

lol Good one.
My Playboy:
Crown (open) - 5-1/4"
Brim - 2-5/8" raw edge but with a hem stitch
Ribbon - 13/16"
Sweat band - 1-7/8"
My Flagship:
Crown (open) - 5-1/2"
Brim - 2-3/4" overwelt
Ribbon - 7/8"
Sweat band - ? (I had to replace it and kept no record)
Not sure how these stats compare to others' versions. Mine are size 7s for what that's worth.

Great Playboy HPGene ( and DOUGLAS )! I like the color and dimensions. I wish those things weren't so hard to come by ( in good shape, right size, etc... ) - but then I suppose it wouldn't be as gratifying to put one on yer head.
