Interesting choice of camera angles!Not really my thing, but I’d like it as a decoration if the price was more reasonable:

I recognize that thumb in the last picture. I'm sure I've won auctions from them before, but I can't remember which hats...I won this 30s-40s Stetson Special for 50 bucks.

Guys.... is this a Temple? it's listed as a Whippet. Is the Sovereign made of 100% Beaver? I'm still unclear after reading the Sovereign thread on here where it ranks in terms of quality, vs Royal stetson... ect....

It is not a Whippet nor is it a Playboy. The seller just used those words to attract buyers using keyword searches. I don’t know what model it is. It’s just a raw edge nondescript fedora to my way of thinking. It is not a beaver fur felt hat either; it could have some small amount of beaver in the blend, but I suspect it’s a 100% rabbit fur felt hat.
This is a completely different style and set of dimensions than the Dune. This hat is a sedan and the Dune is a pickup. Up to you what you want.
oh for sure I know it is a different style than the dune,
I'd probably feel buyers remorse if I bought it and then you guys tell me it was not really worth it. I was sure I was gonna hold out for a Dune specifically, but this seemed like a decent price for a "true" fedora, and I felt the urge to maybe have one hahaha :/ but yea, now that you mention it.... am I in this for "collecting" hats, or am I really trying to buy things I'm gonna wear? I can imagine a Dune style western crossover would see more head time...
I've been on the fence the past few days if I want a real fedora, or a western crossover.. .. just wanted to see if you guys liked it pricewise, is this something I should even consider?

Master Po's eyes look kind of freakish in these animations.....
Anyway great get on those two hats......
Look forward to seeing them in person at the traveling exhibition of the "Mexico City World Hat Museum of the 20th Century" when it hits Chicago or Rockford......
