Penny's Marathon.

Tom, you didn't ask, but if you had, I'd say a wider brim would better suit you.

Lush backdrop in that photo! Your yard?

Again, Tom, you didn't ask, but not sure if it's the brim. To me, the hat appears a bit too small. Kinda rides high on your head. Or so it appears. Yard does look great by the way.

Tom, hold the camera up above your head and point it down. That should make everyone happy.

Think you hit it Alan. Wear it proudly Tom!

 

[tomb1013]

Thank you everyone, the hat arrived a tad to small, my normal size is 7 and that is what's on the tag. I am going to see if I can strech it? We have a lot of rain this summer after 3 years of below normal rain.

Ok, gentlemen, I told you about receiving my Cervo purchased from the 'Bay, but to top things off, later in the day, I also received a Dobbs 15 from the very same 'Bay. So without further ado, here are some pics of same.

Cervo

and Dobbs 15 (with Cav edge, I assume Dobbs called it a Cav edge))

 

[splintercellsz]

Very nice, Scooter! I really like the Cervo's color!

 

[randooch]

Good catches, Scooter! Dobbs called theirs a "Guild Edge" I believe. They both look super on you.

 

[Neophyte]

The color on that Cervo is striking, and the Dobbs has a great front profile.

Thanks for the clarification, Randall, I was unsure of that. At any rate, it is mighty fine, and I'm very happy!

FUR or Wool? What say you?

Pulled the trigger on this hoping it would be an early Moose River i.e.- an LL Bean/Stetson...what do ya'll think? [huh]

It LOOKS like fur felt, eh? - too finished & it is numerically sized, too fancy for a mere woolie... right? Right? :frusty:

...or am I just wishin'?

Well, I sure hope it's all that, looks great f/ fall. Let'cha know by week's end.

 

[randooch]

Vintage Bean for certain, Rick. Nice price, too. Your size?

Thanks Ran'ch!
It is indeed, in fact & in word, my size.
Very excited!

Nice pickup Rick, I put money on fur-felt. I didn't know they made them in that color. I've only seen silverbelly and kind of an olive color MR.

 

[EggHead]

Looks like fur. Nice find!

 

[tomb1013]

I put the stretcher to get the hat to fit better,what's the norm, for buying hat's on the bay should you go one size larger on my normal size? May stick to wide brims, and use this as a beater.

Well I ordered my brand new still in box blue royal Stetson a week ago and it arrived today. This is what it was supposed to look like when it arrived.

I came to a shock when it looked like this. Extremely upset almost to being cross with the seller for not putting fragile on THE PACKAGE!!

Thankfuly there was no damage to the fedora or feather except for the dirt and rocks on it. I need a drink. -_-

That will happen. Thankfully felt hats are incredibly resilient, and even if the hat had been a bit squished, it could have been made right with a couple minutes of steam.

Indeed. It's just sad that I don't have anything to put it in.
