Good Monday morning! Sunny and they're calling for temps in the 70s. Stetson 3X dress hat on top today.

And this is what it looks like when you hold your phone over your head to get a pic of the back bow...

Yesterday afternoon I chose to wear a vtg.Stetson Whippet to complete some outside chores.

Yesterday evening I was out sport'n a long hair felted Disney. This vintage hat is a rust hued long haired felt. Excellent workmanship on the felt as it is evenly pounced and takes a crease gently. It will hold a soft C or a diamond with hard front crease equally well. In order to do that the felt has to be expertly worked. The ribbon and edge work is superb.

I did not include a "wearing pic" as the angle that I held the camera made the hat appear like a top hat. If I hold the camera too close and high in front hats or caps appear to be veeery tall and the brims proportionately minuscule. I will post up an accurate proportioned pic in the near future.

This Disney hat is fine and should be worn more often! Best, Eric -

Great Whippet, Eric. The Disney is just in a class of its own. I'm drooling here.

Thanks Perry.

Thanks Steve. I am shocked as pairing the rust felt is easier than I thought. I have placed the hat on several outwear jackets and it works. I am pleasantly surprised.

Thanks again folks.

I try to get this hat out for some fresh air once or twice a year. It is a highlight from my collection of early hats, one of few surviving examples from the Hawes Von Gal company, likely made during the first decade of the 20th century. I hope you enjoy seeing it.

I remember this one, Alan. A gorgeous lid outright, and the liner and sweatband treatment are incredible. The crown ribbon is just about my favorite style.
