Wearing my stingiest brim today at 2 1/2 with the curl - Stetson 3X I believe late 40’s - also a picture of it’s big brother - No 1 Quality date still unknown.
Hello Everyone,
The Nutria Quality refurb was the choice for today. Also a picture of a cute baby to distract everyone. This is my boy Henry Wyatt Williams - he sure has been keeping me busy and makes coming home after braving the outside world extra special.
I did a little bit of research on this one and I'm pretty sure it's from the 40's but feel free to correct me!
It fits a little snug on me so I feel it could work for either a 7 3/8 or 7 1/4 head ( I'm a 7 3/8 Long Oval )
Nice rich brown homburg with some cosmetic issues - It was my first...
Another hat to be moved along
What I believe to be a late 60's early 70's Resistol OR clone 'Beaver One Hundred'
5 1/2 open crown 2 3/4 bound brim - The colour is a light silverbelly that seems to lean towards a greenish hue ( could be my eyes ) But it's definitely different from my 60's 7XCB...
Yeah what a trip it's been so far, I really don't understand the toilet paper thing. If people stop buying it in bulk it will just be available for everyone... It honestly seems like ONE idiot kicked off the toilet paper hoarding and it took off like wild fire. Anyway I shouldn't even be posting...
I rescued a nice size 7 1950's nutria quality a few months back and am just getting around to posting it.
Nice rich brown with a 3 cord ribbon - 5 1/2+ open crown and a 3 1/2 brim
The felt has absolutely no issues I can see and is very clean
Sweatband needs a bit of conditioner but had no...
Thanks Bowen, First order of business will be posting details here and wearing it some. I can see the ghost of the old ribbon so I will either be ordering something vintage and giving it a gas bath or sending it out to a hatter once the world has settled down.
Thanks Bill, that’s helpful. I’ll probably stick with a 7 1/8 - she wants a wide flat brim and asked me for guidance otherwise she would probably end up with one of those ‘lack of colour’ wool jobs that are crazy overpriced. I’m thinking I will convert a half decent vintage western for her as...
Can one of you folks who wear a 7 1/8 let me know your head diameter? I’m looking for a hat for a family member and she measured her head at 22 1/2” - some charts show this as a 7 1/8 and some show it closer to 7 1/4
First off welcome to the lounge. Your collection has me drooling a bit as they are all my size and beautiful pre-40’s westerns which are my absolute favourites. I too was watching the Nutria.
I have collected a few Canadian made Stetsons and would love to see the sweatband and size tag on this...
