Mine was originally a light blue silk with a couple spots on it so I dyed it black. The shirt part took the dye really well, but evidently the thread was polyester, so I have a black shirt with contrasting grey stitching... well just put this in the "I have the only one just like it" category lol
I have to admit I turned the A/C way down a while back just so I could try on a new vintage leather jacket. If it werent for the politics, Id be really missing the great Pacific Northwet... I dont remember more than a couple weeks a year north of Seattle where it was too warm for jackets... Let...
Definately an EBay WIN....This time its the "THIS is how youre supposed to ship a hat" day! Hat in original box and the box is a perfect fit inside the shipping box. I didnt even get any dust to fly off with the horsehair! Nice and clean. The tag says its an Adam Pacesetter model. Bound edge...
Those look like decently old RayBan shooters! Lenses that were fabulous, and earpieces that doubled as medeival torture devices with the ear temples digging into the back of the ear lol
The brand is TipsyTree. I got them on Amazon. each set will hold 2 hats, and each box has three sets (will handle 6 hats) Just looked this morning, and theyre on sale right now for something like $23. Decently priced option. Its mainly intended for hats with a sloped front and back like cowboy...

Ill definately keep you in mind.... I just wanted a couple pieces with the Stetson logo to go with the hats and framed advertising... Ive seen Stetson ,and a silver place pitcher a week or so back on a Goodwill auction site, but they got pricy at the last minute. If I see any bar-ware Ill drop...
This little Towncraft looked brown in the ebay pic, but was a definate nice grey when it came out of the box. Had to do a double-take to make sure I got the right hat. In the process of steaming and brushing, Ive decided this little lid must be made out of Chameleon fur lol... In bright light...
Really DIDNT need ANOTHER hat this week, but a 7 1/4 long oval open road in good shape was too good to pass up, My other open roads have been altered to be more more fedora-ish... but Im thinking I may leave the cattlemans crease intact on this one...just smooth out some dents... looks like a...
