Waiting to see how this works out. I couldn't tell if it was a Plia-Felt. I didn't notice it until about 30 sec before it ended. Had to make a quick decision. So I did! Regards, F_M

Just got this one in the mail today.

I bought this hat on a whim since I saw that I could get it cheap and worse case, use it as a beater. It is a Bond hat and the sweatband is labeled "Executive Group". Found a price sticker inside the sweatband labeled $10.95. A little disappointed to to see what looked to be very old hardened hair tonic on the plastic liner cover that was very yellow, and some unidentified gummy sort of substance on the underside of the brim in the back which would show clearly when snapped up. I was able to clean up both problems with only my rookie knowledge. Brushed it all off to clean it up and I think it looks really good now if I do say so myself.

2 wicked cool bowlers
Dunlap
&
Stetson

 

[Chinaski]

That Dunlap sweat is fantastic, and the Stetson liner is awesome! I don't think I can pull off a bowler, however.

Swank gray Penney’s Marathon 3 X Beaver fedora with a black grosgrain band. Water Repellent Treated.

Wow. For some reason this one has escaped my attention... A beauty! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[St.Ignatz]

Given the same vintage period, the rating looks like:
Royal
Royal Deluxe
3X = 15
Sovereign = 20
25
50 = 7X Clear Beaver
100
Westerns have a different scale of their own...
I'm not sure when or where 4X came into play & I have heard of a 150 but that may just be urban/rural legend... [huh]

Thanks for the re post Tom.

I thought you would like that one Mario. It's got your style written all over it. We share a similar taste in hat proportions.

I was drooling all over that one, but I need a fundraise to buy hats at those prices..

and on your hot little head I'm waiting for a Marathon in my waterhead-size, and when it gets offered on the bay, I don't have the funds to buy...

Yes, I wanted that liner, and I have a friend who wants the rest of the hat.

Got this one for $100 under the buy it now price. Guess there wasn't much interest in it, but I like it and have hopes that it turns out to be a nice addition.
