Today's lid is a John. B. Stetson Playboy in Ice Silver...first one I've seen in this color. I believe it is an early Playboy as it has an embroidered liner with stars in the crest & stamped on the sweatband. It came in a Stetson winter scene storage box which is a nice addition too !
Geo. I. Eakle Roma Genuine Velour homburg in Camel color. Made on March 14, 1973 according to the stamp inside the leather sweatband. Originally sold for 25.00.
Something a little different for me today. Geo. I. Eakle Roma Genuine Velour homburg made on March 14, 1973 according to the stamp inside the leather sweatband. Originally sold for $25.00
Nice lid Nathan ! I can see the resemblance between the 2 hats . I have an Akubra Stylemaster and never even thought to compare it to this new to me OR. The crown on my Stylemaster is lower than the OR, but the felt is very similar and the leather sweatbands are nearly identical sans the lettering.
Here's my newest addition that just arrived this afternoon. It was kinda rough looking in the ad but for 35.00 I took a chance. Stetson 3X OR made in Australia under license. It came to me as shown in the first photo but with alot of steam I was able to get the crown bashed to something more...
Thanks Mark. Cool history lesson too !
Thank ya sir. Your recent addition of a Stetson Nutria was the catalyst for really making me want one of these !
I've been looking for a Stetson Nutria for quite some time and finally found one in my size ! Normally I shy away from a cattlemen crease but this old hat just seemed to want it that way so I let it be.
