At the Dog Track... The Whippets

[Feraud]

Mojave Jack, the jacket is very safari-like. Believe it or not, I bought it at The Gap about 3-4 years ago. They actually sold interesting clothes at one time. The material is a linen & cotton blend with a waxy finish.

fftopic: Feraud, what jacket are you wearing with the green Whippet? Looks like a four pocket safari-esque jacket. I like!

 

[Mojave Jack]

Oh, you people with arms of normal proportions! You get all the good stuff!

Thankfully I have a relatively small pumpkin, so I can score a few nice hats from time to time.

Thank you for the kind comments here. I've seen some stunning Whippets far better than mine. That green job that Feraud has is A1! All in all some very nice looking Whippets racing here today. Although, I haven't seen Douglas win, place or show yet.

Cheers!

Wow! I'm lovin' all of the Whippets posted on this thread! Mighty fine collection, gentlemen! Dan, the light-colored Whippet looks great -- nice lid. Also really like the olive entry, Feraud. Mojave Jack -- the "clay" color is cool, as is the ribbon to go with it. All of these Whippets also appear to be in great condition, as well. Good stuff.

Here is my entry -- judging by some old Stetson ads, this may be a color called "Cadet Blue"...

Cheers,

Who got the 7 3/8 long oval one in gray last week? It was definitely marked "Whippet" inside.

For the inquiring minds that want to know, that hat went to WV as do many others. lol

 

[Joel Tunnah]

WV?

 

[AlanC]

What are the standards specs on a Whippet, if such exist?

 

[Johnnysan]

WOW...

Jimmy,

That whippet in cadet blue is the one of the nicest I've ever seen. I'm still searching for one in that color and in my size! GREAT hat!

 

[DOUGLAS]

Here is my ticket to enter. my only remaining Whippet.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Feraud, I love that green! I also have that same exact jacket although I don't know how to wear it yet.

 

[DanielJones]

Douglas, nice entry!:eusa_clap If you don't mind me asking, where do you get all those wonderful tweed vests? I'm having a heck of a time.

Cheers!

Feraud, I love that green! I also have that same exact jacket although I don't know how to wear it yet.

Thanks Douglas.
The jacket goes with quite a few colors and patterns. I have worn it with officers 'pinks', khaki, brown, and even herringbone pants.

Many thanks, Johnnysan! Do I recall correctly from my perusal of the FL archives that you have a pretty nice Whippet of your own?

Cheers,
JtL

 

[DOUGLAS]

DJ, you need to look a lot and bide your time. I bought most of my vests years ago and picked some up even if it was too big. I now wear some that I got ten or so years ago. The one I am wearing is crap though, it fits poorly and is a J Crew.

 

[RBH]

WV?

I would think West Virginia.

 

[Dinerman]

Now that this is over, I thought I'd show this auction. Look what's been done to this Whippet!

I'm really liking your hats guys! Its funny, the Whippet it sorta hard to come by and look how many there are.

My first (and favorite) vintage hat. Dark Charcoal



Light Tan with maroon ribbon. Also has a different ribbon than usual.



My brown beater.



Light Gray Size 7 Long Oval I might be placing this one in the Classifieds.

Wow, with that lineup, you may be King of the Whippets, GoneSolo! Nice lids, but I especially like the light tan with maroon ribbon and gold-looking edge binding -- very cool lid!:eusa_clap


Cheers,

Thanks Jimmy! I think that yours in Cadet Blue is MUCH nicer.
