Post New Hats Here!
Thanks... the color is a warm brown. Not an easy color for the iPhone's color balance but this photo shows it pretty accurately. -
Playboys on Parade!
Thank you Eric... I know you are a Playboy enthusiast too. Of the three, the new brownie is the only one with a sweatband imprint matching the 1935 trademark filing. I just added some photos to the old Air Light thread, which has RLK's marvelous white Playboy. It appears that the manufacturing... -

Playboys on Parade!
The three hats are very similar in their parts, styling and felt feel. All were likely made sometime between 1936 and 1940. Here a few photos with notes on the variations: Brim width - brown 2 3/16, gray 2 3/8, black 2 1/2 Ribbon width - brown 14/16, gray 13/16, black 15/16 Weight (grams) -... -

Post New Hats Here!
This fine old Stetson Playboy was directed to my attention by a good lounge friend and arrived today. I have two other pre-WWII Playboys that I shared some years back on the Side By Side comparison thread. This Air-Lite seems a little earlier and carries a lower LOTXXXX stamp as well... perhaps... -

What hat are you waiting for today?
I've been a stranger to this thread... bought two hats in 2020 - a cork boater and a manmade straw "Bancoola" late in the year. But I've already purchased my first hat in 2021. Maybe it will be a better year. Incoming is a Stetson Playboy Air-Lite that was pointed out to me by one of our good... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Thank you. I owned a 1950s-60s Peschel velour (below) which had beautiful felt. It was a little large and I traded it to Garrett who I think planned to give it to his Dad. This one reminds me of it in many ways but the felt has that antique moldable hand that is truly sublime. The finish itself... -

Wonderful Italians, Stefan. I have to start my Austrian week late because I don't have many. Here is an early velour purchased from a hat friend. The sweatband and ribbon had been replaced by Art Fawcett but the original fur is like... fur. Perhaps Anton Peschel, perhaps WWI era. -

Portis Bancoola... a machine made and shaped straw equivalent. Appears to have never been worn. The references I've found to the model are a handful of advertisements from 1937 and 1938 (all hidden to those without a newspapers.com paid account) - an inexpensive hat starting at 98 cents. The... -
The Stetson One-Hundred "100"
Nice 100 package with all its parts. Keyhole tags with this numeration could be from the 1950s. -

Thanks for the comments... always appreciated. A very happy holidays to everyone! For a reason I don't understand, when I incorporate links into forum posts the image is not displayed. If I upload images directly they seem to display fine... assuming you were able to see today's post? -
