At the Dog Track... The Whippets

[CRH]

...

There in it was a hat that, it turns out, had belonged to this lady's father in law. A perfect condition, chocolate brown Whippet.

And it fit me perfectly.

I could have even more appreciation of your good fortune if you would post some pics.

I'm impaired

Craig,

I thought about that.

I'm still too technologically impaired.

I was a Fed member for months before I finally figured out how to set up an avitar and post.

I thought that new movie that everyone is so excited about took place in the Fedora Lounge until I got half way through it and saw none of the tall, blue people were wearing hats.

I've got a couple of kids ... 30s ... who are trying to teach me, so I'll work on it.

Thanks

Whippet raw

Couldn't leave this stray whimpering in the antique mall even though its a tiny size. Almost unworn condition except for some wear to the color on the reed cover. Plus someone had the brim spade and neutered... the binding has been trimmed off. But it was done pretty well and looks very nice as a raw edge brim. The crown on this Whippet is really straight. Looks great with just a center crease and no pinch. The felt is thick and pliable. Just a notch below my 7X Clear Beaver Stetson.

No doubt. The question is weather the surgery was done at the factory or not.

Special order? Trimmed at sale?

Wonderful specimen, buler. :eusa_clap

I was just wondering about the trimmed brim over in the PNHH thread.
The raw edge gives it a 30's flair. Great win, buler! :eusa_clap

Yup, that Pup is a Mutt. After neutering a wider collar was applied but the end result is a nice looking hat, though at 6-7/8 a bit of a runt.

Great Buy! You beat me on that one!

Congratulations, a great hat and great buy. Could you also post a picture or two of the hat box that came with it, it sounds very interesting as well.
thank you

 

[jdbenson]

Sweet!

Looks great on you! I really like the Diamond bash! Please post some pics of the hat box...it was as pristine as the hat!

GWD - Do you wear a 7 1/4 as well? I'll keep an eye out for something for you if you want...

Large size Whippet

Anybody ever seen a 7 7/8 Whippet?

Sweatband marking

This hat just finished on ebay. Don't think I've seen one marked on the sweatband before. Does anyone else have one with the Whippet mark on the sweat and not on the liner?

More pics and the box. The Whippet from Cincy

As requested, here are some pictures of the Stetson Box. Also, some additional pictures of the hat, showing the inside. This hat has a very soft, pliable felt that is easy to bash and re-bash! regards, Marlin

Canadian manufacture was my guess.
