A modern Christy's, picked up for a song on eBay last year. Not a particularly special hat, but nice to throw on when I fancy a brimmed hat that feels a bit more casual. Mostly of note because today was the first day in a very long time on which it was possible for me to even think about wearing felt. Feels like flexing a muscle I've not been able to move in a long time.

New late 40s/early 50s Whippet; a large sized 7 1/8 LO. 1 1/2” hat band. Gray felt with a blue hue that is better represented in the underside photo, per usual, and wish I understood why that happens when using a camera.
Just needed a simple one day stretch to fit just fine. I like it when all I have to do is shape the crown to my liking, but a dry stretch isn’t a bad thing either.

I am still on the hunt for one in that color combo—congrats!

Was wondering if anyone would notice that!
Good response and question, Bob!
These days you have to wonder about, or give credence to the validity of all past conspiracies.
Nice! Walmart? Looks like the Walton family in Arkansas might have been trying to remove any "prior use" issues in 1964.

I hope that is a warm hat. Borger is one of those few places in Texas that can get "artic cold" in the winter season.

That looks like an excellent sample, Randall.
