I'm just about to receive my first Open Road and it's beginning to look like I've been told, a Stratoliner is next, and then on an on until I own every Stetson variation that exists or my collection I'm beginning won't be complete!

Marathon Club?

Hey, I have two Penny's Marathon hats. How do I join the guild?

Great hat

I placed a bid on this hat too and was waiting for the auction to approach closing before I bid again. Unfortunately for me, I was preoccupied when it ended and missed another opportunity. I probably would have bid up to $100, but thats all grist for mill now. I'll wait for another.
Wear it in good health !

My Two Marathons ...

Another 10 dollar eBay special ... now this one IS just like the seabiscuit hat (not that i've seen the movie, but the photo above looks like this). I may switch out the ribbon - I have a thicker ribbon from a destroyed-by-moths Mallory that's just the right colour ...

and a beater that's also a Penney's Marathon ...

Again, my apologies for another terrible shirt. At least it's vintage this time!

Great shots of two great hats, Baron. Are Marathons pretty rare?

[Baron Kurtz]

I've no idea how rare they are. These two just kind of fell into my lap. The beater was free and came along with another hat. It has real sweatband issues.

I see Marathons now and again on ebay, and i've seen a couple in vintage clothing stores, but generally in the smaller sizes. Good for me.

I'm hoping

that I do get my Marathon. Havent heard a thing from the seller. I have contacted OFAS and the site I used to pay for the hat.
Wish me well my friends, as I do want that hat.
