First time I've picked up a Playboy. Great hat in unworn condition with 2 stupid little brown spots on it. Hopefully K2R will get them out. With my bad afternoon lighting I'm not even sure of the color. Looks to be a grey with a mint undertone.

OUTSTANDING, Bill! I can see the Mint undertone on my screen. Thats a great looking Playboy!:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

If only they could all say that!

Hey Bueler, if da spots don't come off, I'll take it off your hands!

Well, the spots lightened up quite a bit and the hat is on it way to a new home already.

And today, it arrived at its new home. Bill -- I am ecstatic! Why? I have always been struck by the color of a particular Stetson Playboy depicted in a 1950 ad -- a green/gray that is really unique. As soon as I took the hat out of the box today, I knew that this Playboy matched the color in that ad! The photos you posted tend to yellow things out just a bit, but, holding the hat here in my hands, it's a match. Very cool...

I'm so glad its the color you wanted. The lighting in my house sucks! Can't wait to see a noggin shot.

Looks like it was made for you, Rodkins.

 

[hatophile]

Very sharp, Rodkins, and excellent job on the crease job. The high crown suits you.

 

[jimmy the lid]

Just finished creasing the recently-arrived light green Playboy. The first photo includes a pewter gray Playboy in the foreground, which helps to provide a color reference...

Cheers,

Any higher on that front pinch and it will approach the center of the crown.

Buler -- I could be wrong, but I think you may have just won $1000!
