Fits perfect!
I but it up on ebay and within two hours I got a bid that’s 4 times what I paid for it. They’re nice, but people go crazy for that Whippet name.

Harsher still. Lol

Whippet good.

Nice ones, Bill. Pun and lid.

1954....this ad is interesting in that the central figure is a colored illustration, but is surrounded with B&W photographs.....quite effective actually.

I’m thinking this Whippet is late 1940s or early 1950s. The crown is 5 1/2” tall and the brim is 2 3/4” wide. The color is a gorgeous vivid blue between Royal and navy...maybe cadet?

Yes, I agree to the dating. OUTSTANDING Whippet.

Very very nice Brent!! (and glad it's not a 7 ... )

I think your hat is a little older than that.

How does the whippet compare in numbers and popularity to the Open Road. Two Iconic hats

The Open Road has been in production a lot longer. I don’t think we have production numbers from Stetson so as my guess based on anecdotal evidence is that the OR was made in greater numbers. I’d guess that would remain true even if we limited it to the years when they were both being made. Just a semi-educated guess...heavy emphasis on the “semi” part.

I'd say there have been quantum levels more ORs sold than Whippets.

For good reason.

I don’t know what a “quantum level” is, but it sounds like a lot.

 

[Frunobulax]

For good reason.

The OR is definitely a more versatile hat, and generally popular for a greater range of hat wearers, for sure. Plus, it never really has gone "out of style."

I don’t know what a “quantum level” is, but it sounds like a lot.

"A discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents," for one definition, at least.

I was trying to say that, if n Whippets have been produced/sold since their inception, the number of ORs produced/sold since their inception is Xn, where X is a nontrivial multiplier of n.

Y'all hate me now, don't you?

+1 it is a gorgeous and rare colored felt. Congrats Brent.

Cheers, Eric -

Weren’t you the guy who said there wouldn’t be math? The only math I’ve mastered is my retirement formula.

“Nontrivial multiplier”...i love that!!
Engineer speak for not to the zero power ehh?
I still love you.

Sorry, I guess I lied.

I figured you'd appreciate that. Love you, too, B!

Damn engineers! Bad enough I live in the Rocket City, now I can’t get away from it here.
