    When did Dobbs stop making the Twenty?

    OK, Got the pictures loaded... Also, this Twenty has trolly cord (string?). Was this a trait of earlier hats? I am enjoying teh historical information, and getting a better idea of the date of this and other hats, Thanks, Joel

    When did Dobbs stop making the Twenty?

    Thank you for all the information. I guess I should have phrased the question "when did the "twenty" label for Dobbs stopped being used." Below are some images of hat I just bought for $35. It is in very nice shape, so I wondered what year it could be from. I was also thinking that...

    Stetson Royal De Luxe 7 3/8 brown, 1 7/8 brim

    Hello, I recently purchased this hat from user "rilico" on eBay and love the hat. Unfortunately I have an odd size/shaped head and it fits a little tight on me for my taste, and I do not want to fool with stretching. I have another Dobbs that is a 7 3/8 that fits looser (and has a slightly...

    Found One!

    Yeah, Rilico seems to be a good seller. I have worked on watch on and off all my life, and have built up a small shop (mini-machine tools, lathes etc) and work on antique/vintage watches. I just really enjoy working on very small things (not so many people do). I am mostly self taught, with...

    Thanks for all the comments. Part of my enjoyment is learning the history of items such as hats (I am a watchmaker and researching history of antique watches is a big part of my job), and this board has a lot of info. for hats. I really makes these items "come alive". One item I have not...

    Question: Age of vintage Stetson?

    Well, you know what this means now? My quest may not be ended:eusa_doh: for my ideal vintage hat....or I settle for a 70's hat and stop the madness. Like you said, it seems futile to fight the force..:)

    Question: Age of vintage Stetson?

    Ok so this one is not a manilla, or a foil. So what is this one referred to, and when did it start being used?

    Question: Age of vintage Stetson?

    I have been looking at this and other threads regarding dating, and am still a little confused on terminology, such as foil size tag. I just purchased a Stetson Royal Deluxe with this size tag: What kind of tag is this considered, and from what general era? I know this is not a paper tag...

    Key words for eBay searches

    Yeah, I have found some nice hats (did not win) just using "old hat". Unfortunately, I have purchase 2 recently that were not described properly (no surprise). I found a knox twenty that was described as in very good condition, but when I received it it was so spotted on the felt (spots...

    movie hats that inspired you...

    After reading this post, and my recent interest in hats, I now am suddenly noticing hats in all movies. I was watching "That Darn Cat" with my wife (one of my guilty pleasure Disney movies), and now was vary aware of the hats the FBI agents wore. Fun, as I am now able to identify the type...
