Anybody here "lure" their soft hats, and if so, willing to expound and post photos and or a source for a lure pad and grease here? "Faint hat never won fair lady." -

Penney's Marathon Beaver 100 Hat And Suitcase
And (faintly) in my early 50's Beaver 100 by Out West Hatters (made by Langenberg, I'm sure, given it's own recognizable legend). "Faint hat never won fair lady." -

Penney's Marathon Beaver 100 Hat And Suitcase

Penney's Marathon Beaver 100 Hat And Suitcase
Same LBC stamp on my Portis Lite Wate. "Faint hat never won fair lady." -
Rounding Jack
Yes, indeed. Especially if sold at a fair price. The problem is that the tools that are generally available are very expensive because they are either collector's items or heirloom quality tools. Well made functional & affordable tools would surely find a ready market. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
TJ, I like it a lot! Your renovation skills are increasing exponentially. What did you do with the long-delayed Knox Westlite 15? Olé, I'm game, but I've gotta say it looks pretty good as it is, and sounds like a comfortable fit. "Faint hat never won fair lady." -
Penney's Marathon Beaver 100 Hat And Suitcase
Justin (Splintercellz) posted a query regarding a Marathon with the same LBC legend imprinted on the back of the sweat - you might see if he ever learned more about it. I'm coming up short, but based on the Stetson St. Regis tie in, it may just have been a high end provider of sweats or maybe a... -

Justin, I have straight sided blocks from 6 3/4 to 7 3/4, I am sure it's close enough ;-). I'll keep you posted. This one will be a labor of love, so I'm not going to rush it... "Faint hat never won fair lady." -
Penney's Marathon Beaver 100 Hat And Suitcase
I forgot to check my Churchill before leaving home, but recently saw a 1950's Stetson St. Regis with the red LBC stamp on the inside of the sweat. It's posted on Etsy by a friend. She didn't photo the stamp. "Faint hat never won fair lady." -

Garret, it's about a 7 1/8, but hard to say for sure. I'll measure it and post all specs in a more appropriate thread. I've posted all of the basic info I could glean, which is not much. "Faint hat never won fair lady." -

Justin, it is a beauty, but needs some attention. I _think_ it's a Knapp felt and one of the hat of the month hats. I paid $5 for it ;-) "Faint hat never won fair lady." -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Here is the C&K hat, which I suspect may have been part of the series. I found it in a Santa Cruz California antique store. I've laid the trim back on for the photo, but it did not have a sweat. It's had a Naptha dip. The felt is very thin and of high quality. Brad, Olé, Anyone have... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
That's great Olė! I have an old C&K that I believe is period appropriate. I'll send you photos. Maybe you can help me identify the model. It's for repair, having been purchased for $5 with no sweat (but with liner). It's an amazing felt, to be sure. I've always wanted to purchase the ads...
