At the Dog Track... The Whippets

[GWD]

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...

Yes I wear a 7 1/8 and 7 1/4 and please and thank you!!

GWD has a green one... hint, hint.

I didn't realize I didn't post my green one here!

Mine says "Whippet" on the front of the sweatband not the side. Yours is the first I've seen too. I think Salty is right, I think I read somewhere that "Aquashed" is a uniquely Canadian thing.

Florida_Marlin - what a score! That is a great looking Whippet. I love the color on that one.

Well, OK then...

Nice earthy tones on that one.

Thanks?

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?

Yes the one Schwammy just sold me.

GWD, let me just state for the record, I love those earthy tones, and if you ever decide to rid yourself of that hat, I'm in OC as well. I think we have the same hat size too!

Thanks, but I've traded and sold a lot of hats to obtain that earthy toned beauty! It's in my permanent collection. I'm still looking for a Grid Iron Gray and a Skyline Blue to finish off my pack-o-whippets.

 

[Chinaski]

I understand completely, and probably would feel the same way.

By the way where did you say you live? Do you own any pit bulls?

Yes the one Schwammy just sold me.

Yours is at the front of the sweatband, right?

I've been meaning to post pictures of my Whippet, which I bought from Zetwal. Love it!

One detail that my brown whippet didn't have is this stitching on the underside of the brim. I like it!

Aureliano, you're developing some mad skills in the refurb department! Very nicely done, and what a great lid!

 

[Aureliano]

Thanks, Chinaski. I love doing projects of this sort. Any idea of the age of my whippet?

 

[Aureliano]

Move the refurbish to it's own thread. To keep this within subject.

Well done, Aureliano. :eusa_clap

I don't understand why you sold the brown one. [huh]

Thanks CRH. Well, I never wore it because I don't really like brown shaded hats. Thought to myself: Better sell it to someone who's gonna love it and wear it and use that money to get a grey one. It makes me sad to have a hat sitting all lonely in a hat box.

So here's my newest Whippet,the brown one.The felt is very thin and light like my Borsalino or Stratoliner,the ribbon is 1/4 in. narrower than the gray hat.Why are there so many different Whippets?I have never seen one with thin felt like this one.Is it common?

[Chinaski]

No idea if thin felt is a common Whippet attribute, but those are both great hats, Michaelshane. The brown one does look very soft. It looks like it will take any crease with ease.
