Josh; Thanks for the post. I enjoyed looking at the advertisements. I am struck by how nice the ads look and how thery catch my eye. The drawing catch my eye more than the pics. I suspect that the handcraft work and the illusion the art creates influences me. Not in a romantic notion of the time, but just the notion of imagining the "real hat."
Josh - thanks for posting these Stetson (and the others as well) ads, I always enjoy checking them out!
Oh, the 59, 60 and 61 hats look horrible to me.
Perry; Thanks for bring the down edge some attention. Do you wear one sir? I am curious about the hat. I certainly recongize the guy in the drawing as the guy in the Playboy ad (one with showcasing the different styles of hat brim and creases). Indy hat like, in that the back brim has the down edge.
I have not seem many on the forum. Ever very popular?
