At the Dog Track... The Whippets
Any idea who made Stetsons under license in the UK? Maybe Locke? I have beautiful Stetson Zephyr made under license there. It really isn't _that_ light, but it's made of fantastic felt. "Faint hat never won fair lady." -
What to do when a leather tote's color rubs off on clothing
I don't know how leather responds to polyurethane - it may well present some breathing & maintenance( oiling) issues, and color change might be an issue too - but it would almost certainly prevent this particular problem by adding a thin layer of durable plastic coating.

At the Dog Track... The Whippets
Here's another Whippet anomaly, offered by Timothy's Closet. This one does appear to be true vintage, but is anything but typical. (Link corrected) http://bit.ly/1aet6ii "Faint hat never won fair lady." -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
That's what I thought. I have only one other dark blue fedora - a Stetson Gold Medal from Lundstrom's of SF. This one was not well described, but looked in pretty decent shape. I'll have to research the maker, but it looks like a 1950's hat with that wide caramel colored sweat. The liner... -

I thought of that too. My brother is a welder and we chatted last night about this design. As for wood, it might be achieved by cutting the main body from one solid piece of laminated plywood with a jigsaw, then attaching the other pieces and a thin steel or brass reinforcement layer. I would... -

Haven't got a shackle iron yet. Lost an auction on this interesting European make brim cutter today :-( This is an interesting and very simple design compared to others I've seen. Shouldn't be too hard to reproduce in metal, but structural integrity might present a problem in wood... -

Introduction
I have read that working cowboys liked very stiff brims, and that they were often stiffened with rawhide stitching. An aging cowboy I know told me that when he wrangled cattle in Montana or Wyoming (can't remember) as a young man, they stiffened their hats with a sugar solution. I actually... -

Thanks Ole, I have what appears to be an early 1960's Langenburg stingy brim in midnight blue with the same markings. I generally don't like stingy's but it is a really great hat, rivaled only by my Stetson Nutria Quality hats, so I have high hopes for this one. "Faint hat never won fair lady." -
