Post New Hats Here!
Got one too but with obvious ribbon differences -
Post New Hats Here!
As rare as hens' teeth. A properly sized (for my noggin) Stetson 'Special.' Although a bit 'overly flanged' for me, guess who's going to take this and all his hat collection in his UHaul when his time is up? Damn you, enablers! :D -
Stetson Sweat Stamps/ LOT XXXX
This is a good thread as I too am interested in the rationale behind lot #s. Here's an example from a 40s Stetson Special: -
THE MALLORY MILE
Cool! Great info! Thanks! I was thinking about a possible rationale for the term 'Pliafelt.' I was steaming and giving a light brushing when I notices the brim has a 'heather' look and while the crown is does not. Yet, it is as soft as a 'velvety/sued feel. Hope I'm making sense. The prefix... -

THE MALLORY MILE
Thanks! I learned something today! Pre-Stetson possibility! Yes. It does have that 'heather' type finish! -
THE MALLORY MILE
My submission to this thread, gentlemen. Recent rare find (for me) Mallory Pliafelt Gray. 3 inch whip-stiched brim w/all the bells and whistles of beautiful piece. Learned a bunch from the submissions in this this thread. But believe me. I only know what I know! :) Gotta do some research on... -
Stetson No. 1 Quality
Beautiful! I was the owner of this piece and it went to an Asian fella. I purchased it from a fellow Lounger 'splintercellsz. I just didn't get the headtime! Happy to see it has remained in great shape! -
George I. Eakle
I should've known a thread for Geo.I. Eakle existed. Found this rare gem and had the means to procure from a fellow hatter. Silverbelly felt. Paper thin sweat. This piece simply oozes class to me. Let's start open. Intricate ribbon and brim adornment! One of the few hand bashes it holds... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Stetson Pure Beaver 'True Blue.' Nice hand. Updated crown, which is a bit heavier than the brim. A throwback liner, what feels like a sheepskin liner, Last Drop throwback liner. -

I tell ya, some of these beauties cease to amaze me! That is a nice a touch.... -
Homburg Nation
Yep. They do grow on ya! I am habitually becoming a harbourer of Homburgs! From my understanding and the lessons learned from more knowledgable hatters in this thread, this is is a rare (to me) Lord's Hat in my noggin size. Dated 1930s (1934 to be exact). It appeared to purchased and simply... -
Homburg Nation
Thanks! Yeah. When it comes to awaiting arrivals, I too am impatient. Geez! -
Homburg Nation
I have developed a love for vintage Homburgs. This one (as with the others I've procured over the past two years) does not disappoint. It's a Knox (one of my favorite vintage styles) 'Excellent' in midnight blue. No steam to shape. Very comfortable fit. Heaven...
