Green Stetson Playboy Has Arrived

[Feraud]

Which photo best represents the true hat color?
It may be a combination of my eyes, monitor, flash, etc. but I am not seeing the green as noted..
[huh]

Here you go, Feraud. Sometimes, its easier to get a sense of color by comparison. So, here is the new Playboy, flanked on the left by a pewter gray Playboy, and flanked on the right by a pearl gray Melton. Hopefully, sitting there in between the two different shades of gray, you can get a sense of the green color -- which is a shade I have never really seen before.

Cheers,

Thanks for the pics. It looks like a very light moss or mint-ish green.
The hatband is spectacular.

You're most welcome -- glad that helped. And, to answer your other question -- yes, that is a raw edge with a single row of stitching, common to Playboys.

Cheers,
JtL

Is that a stitched raw edge?

That's a signature feature of the Playboy.

Killer, Jim. Just killer. I don't think I've seen that Melton before, but that's a beauty too.

Jimmy,
How do you shape your hats? do you use a block?
I love that shape and would love to put it in one of my hats.

BTW beautiful playboy!:eusa_clap

I've read that before, but mine doesn't have the stitches. It seems like the Playboy evolved quite a bit over the years. Do we have a Playboy thread?

WoW.....

You dog......it's gorgeous, and I love the ribbon.

I've had my eye out for a Playboy for quite some time.

I think I'd even consider swapping my Whippet for one. [huh]

You're absolutely justified in gushing over that hat! It's gorgeous. And you look like a million in it, too.

Fantastic! just Fantastic.

Can anyone do a more perfect crease? Beautiful work, beautiful hat. And by the way, the pewter Playboy in your comparison pic is also a work of art...

 

[BobC]

Jimmy is the chief of the crease police. No one does it better.

 

[jimmy the lid]

Thanks, gents.
