New Whippet

[Mojave Jack]

I've gotten super lucky the past couple months, and landed two hats that are absolutely perfect for me. First I picked up my Hardeman, courtesy of Reetpleat, and just scored this little beauty on e-bay:

Fits like it was made for me, too, and fills the gap I had for a dress hat in a brown tone. It's got more brown tones than the pictures show, and is actually a sort of taupe or greyish brown. I think it will be a pretty versatile hat, looking as sharp with grey or navy as it will with earth tones. The brim is 2.5", and the crown is about 5.5" open, and about 4-3/4" with the deep center bash I have in it now.

With my darker grey Adam (courtesy of Dinerman), I have a hat the stable of hats I've been wanting!

I wish I could find a Whippet in Lt Grey or Sand.

 

[RedPop4]

Well done.

Oh, I feel bashful. I searched for "New Posts" and saw this thread. When I clicked on it, I expected to see pictures of a puppy! I had no idea that a whippet was a hat, too lol

I don't know much about hats, but it's a good looking one and you look sharp, Mojave Jack! The only thing better would have been a whippet puppy wearing your whippet

That would be Johnnysan's avatar.

Why, thank you, Johnnysan! All you handsome gents make it easy with yours (good taste)!

And your avatar is wonderful, after RedPop mentioned it, I remembered seeing the picture somewhere. Too cute! I can appreciate it a bit more now that I know this bit of information about hats. Very witty!

[vonwotan]

Great hat! I reaaly like whippets in all shapes and sizes...

I don't recommend you attempt wearing just any whippet on your head.

 

[John in Covina]

Well done MJ!

 

[Mojave Jack]

Wow! Thanks for all the kind words, folks!

I gotta say, I think the Whippet is the single most popular hat here at the FL, followed closely by the Stratoliner. Now I see why! This is a great hat!

I found the price tag, which is $10.95. Unfortunately that's not very helpful, going by Jimmy the Lid's table, but it must be 1950s, if it went up a buck. Still, it's a great, soft felt, and not at all stiff like my first Royal Deluxe. I didn't realize how much difference there could be between models.

No finer hat. No finer dog.
