Thanks for the visual! I always thought of trooper hats as having the triple-dent crease, but I guess this one's older? And the grosgrain ribbon kind of threw me, too.

If you google trooper hats, you will see center dent styles like yours, Mountie styles (or Smokey Bear), Cowboy styles, Straw or felt (may depend on the season), colors in black, blue, green, gray, tan. Depends on the state. Most will have a grosgrain ribbon, medium width. There was a surplus for sale on Ebay about a month ago, most of those were Smokey Bear style, or center dent.

I thought about bidding on that Spectator as well, thinking that my grandson might wear it in a few years. Then I considered that perhaps whomever had put in the first bid might actually be able to wear it, and opted not to go for it.

Cheers,
Tom

Hey Tom, when you really like a hat, you can rationalize anything. My gf has a tiny head and would have looked great in that hat! Sometimes I wish I had a little head.

Let me start by saying hello to everyone in here - I'm a long time reader, first time poster. So... hello, everyone!



I kind of fell in love with that one, but due to my admittedly tiny budget, I came in second...

Welcome to the Lounge, Luminuscule!



I was second place on that one....enjoy!

Tracy

A warm welcome to you as well, Tracy, and you have excellent taste in automobiles!

That looked like a fantastic buy it now... I asked about the size discrepency but I'm sure it sold before the seller had a chance to respond. I hope we get to see it up close and personal.
