    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    I posted a couple of pieces by Sam Roanhorse a few posts above. I am a big fan of his work. Recently I found someone online showing a mid-century bracelet and was able purchase it. With the mails the way they are recently the transaction took longer than expected, but it arrived yesterday.

    Panama Hat Thread

    A supernatural leghorn straw from the Ecuadorian Panama hat Company. The shop in Columbus appears as an advertiser in the programs for the Ohio State/Michigan games... back in the days when the school up north would win every once in a while.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    You’ve got quite the museum yourself Max, with some stunners I can vouch for personally. So sorry to hear this Joe. It’s a deeply complicated experience at any time... in these times even more so. A safe hug to you and your family.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    This old parabuntal body was purchased rolled in its original bamboo tube - perhaps woven pre WWII. Graham Thompson blocked and finished it for me in a traditional plantation style with center crease and rolled brim. It could use a little touch-up for wrinkles earned over the years (I would...

    If you or any member can share a hat stamped Open Road that left the factory with other than a bound brim or 3/8" ribbon I would be in your debt. I have seen Miller-Stockman advertise a 3ply ribbon on an Open Road, but have not seen such a hat in the flesh. thanks! Alan

    The Official Stetson Nutria Quality Thread

    Fantastic hat. I've owned three - one with the same brim binding as yours. All were 1920s era. If you can look at the underneath of the sweatband in the front of the hat (carefully, with a mirror, maybe) you should find a LOTXXXX number stamped. Add it to this thread. And to the "pre-1940s...

    Dating Vintage Stetsons by size tag

    I've misunderstood your observation. In identifying differences between a western hat and a "dress western" hat I think of Fedora Lounge differentiation between a hat with a narrow ribbon and a brim of 3" and over (western) and a hat with a bound brim under 3" and a 3/8" narrow flat ribbon...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Such great research to go with a great find. You and Spencer might be right with the era. I am always hesitant to throw a pre-war origin on hat for "feel" and never did the looking to confirm an estimate. I think it may be time to set up a dedicated Vimenet thread. There are a handful of...

    Hatless

    Wow... Bowen, same joy. Thanks to all for the good wishes. It is a special joy and privilege for us to be able to be here with our family to celebrate and help them through the first days of a new baby. I can hardly wait to pass on my antique little kid baseball cap.
