Depression Stetson photos.

[Wild Root]

Ok, here are some photos of the late 20's early 30's Stetson that I won off of ebay months ago.

Enjoy.

Very "The Thin Man"; Just ad a mustache.

Now, I bring on the color.

This hat is just to cool or words! Is it not what you see in most early 30's RKO and WB movies? This hat should only be worn with 30's clothes to really show it off. It's just to much for words. Some may not like the long hair finish. But I couldn't care less about that. It make this hat special!

The Thin Man:

Thanks Matt! Very nice of you to say that I look some what William Powell like! This hat is the same style you'll see Powell wear and other Hollywood acters sport in films from 1929 to 1936.

Yep, it's a good 'un indeed.
I think these earlier hats are overlooked in the error that they are later, rather than earlier. Stovepipe and a narrower brim, still a classic- very 'Gangster' to my mind.

Nice-

BT.

Gangster:

Yes, that's what I thought when I saw it! I have always wanted a true 30's gangster hat! When I wear this hat, I feel tough and like I have a 45 in my pocket redy for action!

Glad you boys like it.

Thanks,

Root.

Hmmm... a hair trigger eh? I thought you were sending him a Thompson Sub. Root would like that.
A Single Action Army Brad?! Geez, that thing predates the suit by nearly 100 years! I also have a problem with having to cock the danged thing for every shot. At least you only have to cock the government model once.
