Picked up a new-to-me Peterson Rocky Donegal. (Early 70s Sterling silver band) Got it cleaned up and breaking it in with a Modern Whippett and some C&D Autumn Evening. Its smaller than most of my pipes, but its a comfortable small bowl smoke.
I have quite a bit of Stetson advertising... Only Problem is that If I find an attractive framed print, I just HAVE to go find that hat!~ lol
I like your Taste!
Well I finally did it.... after a few months of a crinkly, noisy cellophane headliner on a nice older 3x Open Road ( no metric sizing on tag so Im guessing early 70's or so), I finally removed the cellophane. Really clean headliner underneath, and now you cannot hear me put the hat on from...
I LOVE starting out the Day here... always someone sharing something georgeous that Id love but cant justify the cost of. I particularly enjoy seeing when someone picked up a hat that I had looked at. With some of the folks here I never have to worry about a nice hat going to a bad home...

I needed on because I had a nice leather and feather hatband off of a Stetson Weekender, And an Akubra...
I love my Lightning Ridge. I think its correct that its just a hair taller than the Banjo but that may just be the shaping on top. I while back I picked up a Coobalah and trimmed some brim off. ( its the pic with the feathered hatband) Very similar looks now. Crown is at least 1/2" shorted...
great news on the salvageable sweatband! Im confident you will be fine..... just watch the needles and fingertips... I fought THAT battle here today myself
Finally got around to doing a bit of work on the floppy old Moose River.
Added a ribbon binding to the brim and replaced the worn old skinny ribbon for one just a bit bigger. Silverbelly ribbon for band and edge. I Finally got that irritating moth nibble on the brim edge covered up after all...
