Dobbs For Me, Too
Dobbs from the late '50s, early '60s, I believe. Shot on me would have been more scenic, but my wife pulled the car into my shot!

Tony's right
Yeah... after holding a modern OR last year, I decided it would be silly to try to make it more of a long oval or re-shape it. They are too damn stiff.

My wife (who sees color better than I do) says the body is wheat... just a little darker in tone than the average straw hat. Ribbon is accurate in the first picture, I believe.
Brim seems pretty consistent 2 1/8 all around.

Let the Big Heads Rejoice, Part IV - Dobbs Straw- 7 1/2
This is the fourth of many LARGE hats I'll be selling here over the next several days. All are 7 1/2 or 7 5/8, and many are Long Ovals. These are hats I have been hesitant to part with, but have finally admitted they just don't quite...

At times, as Ebert wrote about, Michael Mann chose accuracy over storytelling, which is interesting. He put the woman at the theater in the orange skirt she really wore, for example, instead of the red dress of legend.
I've written two historical fiction graphic novels myself. I usually...
Stetson 25
I'm hopeful about this one. I can't afford to chase the mint beauties... I have to go after these fixer-uppers. ;)
I'm not familiar with this liner. I'll have to do some research. Looks like it might be '50s, as the seller thought.

Stetson Derby
Just got this the other day. I didn't really need a derby, but it seemed like a good buy, and an interesting hat.
I'd love some help with the dating. I was wondering about '30s? It's in decent shape. The ribbon needs a little stitching (I will do that, probably), and the...
Royal Deluxe
Here I come to save the day...
Today was my Stetson Royal Deluxe, probably from the mid to late '50s. It's a beautiful hat, but I'm not quite sure about the proportions on me. Crown is 4 5/8 at its tallest, and the brim is a cut down (before I got it!) 2 1/8.
