Thanks to two friends of the lounge being generous with their finds.....Stefan and Steve.....I now have two more German hats!
Seen before here they are again! I brought the Meyser back to a nice shallow flange and gave it a "enhanced" crease....:rolleyes:;)
M:):)
My "new" 50's black Meyser fedora from Stefan all creased up and ready go!! I love the grey ribbon on this one! And of course you always need an interesting crease when possible.....especially on a black hat!;) This one came out with a nice shallow flange brim and looks great just as it is!;)...
Jack,
Yes, this is mine. I thought it was pretty cool. AND in OUR SIZE!!!! Yep, 7 1/2!!!!
Very surprising find. It will be my secret campaign hat whenever I go to vote from now on!!! :p:p:p
M;)
Edit: Yes I was thinking how low the odds to find one, let alone in my size considering only 1800...
Ok, as a bump to this interesting thread, and as this hat did see some history...
I offer this "limited edition" 1984 4X Stetson sold for and worn at the National GOP convention held in Dallas Texas, where President Ronald Regan was nominated for a second term...

Doc.....PLEASE do not shrink it!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
This is an really neat piece, it deserves better,

EDIT.....or did you buy "trade bait"?;)
Here is a simply awsome 50's Marathon "Whippet" clone, wonderful felt, 2 1/2 inch brim, 5 3/4 crown, simply sweet felt, AND it appears unworn!!! BUT, it is only a 7:(
SO......trade bait.....
M;)
OH....MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!! the Green Monster abounds......:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
You do deserve some good luck!!!!!!!!!!! Looks to be 50's Too!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE that ribbon!!!!!!!!!
M;)
Here are two Dobbs additions. One a 50's Game Bird......the other a 20's Derby.....
The Game Bird is a 7 1/4 LO (which of course does not fit me) and the other a surprising 7 1/2 which does........
The Game Bird is a great Dark Brown heathered felt (Dobbs called them game mixtures) with a 2 7/16...
That is a great point, if the hats are all re-blocked on the same block as each other or even a different block than they were originally. They WILL NOT be the same hat.:eek:
Even MORE of a travesty as the person doing the conversion will not be getting what they wanted ( unless they don't care...
