Sorry about that Steven. I just saw the hat and jumped on it. I didn't pay attention to who was bidding on it. I could only hope that it is from the 20's. Thank you for your kind words.
Cheers!

Well I got me a fairly pretty one today.:) It's a brand that I have little knowledge of so if anyone here can enlighten me on the pedigree of this hat it would be most appreciated. It is a Dunlap Superior, Browning-King Co. They state that it is from the 20's or 30's, although I'm not totally...
Thanks guys! Yeah, it is a tad darker, more of a chocolate color. Once I get the sweatband sewn back in it should be a pip. Depending on the occasion I can put just about any shape in it to suit the situation.
Cheers!

Another odd one that gets me every time is near the end of 'Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire'. The part where Harry comes back from the graveyard with Diggory's body, and the way he's he clutching the body and the anguish in his cries hit me every time. Daniel Radcliff nailed that one for sure...
...And photos you shall get!
Ta da! This thing came fast. I wasn't expecting it this soon.:)
This thing is so soft it takes on just about any shape you can throw at it. The sweatband is in excellent shape but needs to be sewn in again. Other than a couple of small moth...
You're absolutely right there Bud! It was an occurrence like a head wind or just grabbing that particular portion of the brim all the time to swat at cows. It also went by another name, the 'bar room crease', for obvious reasons. When a cowboy or miner got too pickled and couldn't stand no more...
Now that is a great shot of Curly Bill. Too much fun.:eusa_clap
By the way there are a couple of places on line where you can get the Ringo 'Dragon' bib front shirt.:offtopic:
Cheers!

Most restaurants nowadays seat couples at tables for 4 so there is alway an open chair at the table to safely set my lid on. If there isn't the chairs I usually sit in have little cross members underneath for strength that make a handy little hat shelf off of the ground. And, if there is no...
Davidson: That will be one sweet looking hat once you choose a shape you like and form it. Right now it has a very Hank Williams Sr. or a 1950's rodeo star feel to it.
Feraud: That is one mighty fine looking Whippet. My jealousies to you sir. It has a nice fresh look to it. I've been looking...
I just did a search on OFAS under 'bowler hat' and came up with several ranging in size from 7 1/8 to 7 3/8. They all looked in fairly respectable condition & worth bidding on. I had won a Stetson Soverign last year in a 7 3/8 & managed to be the only bidder. I was patient & got lucky on a last...
First off, what a nice looking Mallory! Wow!
Second, you may want to try two options. First, give it a good steaming over a tea kettle & then try the "used" fabric softener sheet trick in a large plastic bag to see if that absorbs any odors & restores a fresh scent. Make sure it is used one, or...
Wow! Nice find. You may be starting to get some of the Douglas luck for hats.;)
Sure wish I could find hats like that around here. Most of what I find is great, but for the tiniest of heads.:( Thank goodness for OFAS.;)
Cheers!

Well, the Knox came in today!:) It looks to be in good shape except for a couple of small moth nibbles on the top and no discernable odors to be had. The leather of the sweatband is in perfect shape, but the threads came out so it will need to be sewn back in again. For the price I can't beat...
I particularly liked Buck Taylors hat as well as Turkey Creek Jack Johnson.
It has that Santa Fe Pony Express look.;)
In the makings of the movie they said that the costuming was based on actual clothes from the period that were stashed away in a collection. Bright vivid colors were the...
