vintage vs. custom
Well, yes, this should be in the hat forum. But since we're here anyway.... The first thing to consider is size. If you have a smaller head, a vintage hat will, in all likelihood, be a cheaper purchase. That having been said, there is the patience factor. The second thing to consider is, do... -

Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!
The side seam liner is a nice vintage detail too. I seem to recall Steve Delk saying that they basically weren't made anymore or were otherwise a rarity. The crest imprint is the same as on my Stetson 100...although I'm sure it was used in many models. I really like what I'm seeing here. The... -

Stetson One Hundred Finally Appears on Goodwill Auction Site
The earlier ones were made with less stiffener and are more desirable. I have a 1963 100 which is quite stiff, but the felt has a very soft hand, as contradictory as that may sound.- jlee562

The Dobbs Diner...
OK, here are some shots of my blue Dobbs Twenty: Outdoors (kinda out of focus...whoops): Interior: Pictured with my Optimo Dillinger, they share a similar DNA: So I'm guessing late 50's early 60's? It's got a nice, classic blockshape. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thanks everyone for the compliments on the blue Dobbs, neglected to mention that it's a Dobbs Twenty. I actually just dropped it off at Paul's Hat Works for a reflange, the brim doesn't snap down easily. Other than that, the hat looks very new. More pictures forthcoming in the Dobbs diner. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
A particularly great batch of hats today. David: nice Whippet. I have to say that I'm not a huge fan of the Whippet myself because the non-matching binding that usually appears throws me off. But this one I really like. Is it more grey or more bluish? Andy: Handsome playboy for a dapper... -
