Thank you Bill.

I have been very disciplined of late and have let some nice hats pass me by. But I couldn’t resist this Melton 10 this morning. I must have snagged this shortly after it was posted since nobody had even liked it yet.

Don’t know much about Melton beyond the name. I’ll have to do some research.

The feather will have to go, though.

Thanks Joe!

How was Wrestlemania last night? I might try it tonight - I probably haven’t watched “wrastling” since 1988!

That’s Back in the Hulk Hogan days… what I watched as a kid before I ever set foot in a ring. Last nights show was a lot of fun with The Rock back in the ring after about 12 years. So much easier to watch WrestleMania these days with it being on Peacock.

We watched a local wrestling federation back then - I don’t remember why we couldn’t get WWF. A fellow named Jerry “The King” Lawler was the hero and if I remember right Jake “The Snake” Roberts got his start there. I was about 12 years old, I guess. I never saw a WWF event until a few years later when Roberts had moved over and Sting was partnered up with Dusty Rhodes. By that time I had discovered the Uncanny X-Men and moved on from the ring.

You must have a lot of great insight into that world. Amazing that it is even more massive today than ever.

Oh yeah…. There were still territories then. Lawler was HOT in Memphis!

Oh you know your stuff - that’s exactly where we were.

Nice find Joe, I do love a 7/8" ribbon on a hat!

Nice lid, although I do agree on the feather part...

Thank you. It has arrived…. And it’s another one of those amusing packing jobs. Here it is in and on the box it arrived in.

not to worry though. A few hours in the sun and it shaped back nicely. It’s up in the Post New Hats thread now.

I’ve always wanted to handle one of these Vita-Felt hats. I hear it was just a marketing scheme, but okay, for 30 bucks I’ll be a sucker still 80 years later.

This one languished on my watch list for quite some time getting Passed over for other targets. The curiosity for this crushable rollable with fabric “zephyr“ sweatband Portis finally won out… and then of course that liner and ribbon!
