Real beauties, Gonesolo, especially the Dove Gray Dobbs and the Black Stetson.

 

[GoneSolo]

Thanks guys. Thunder, you made out like a bandit on Christmas day. That blue Lee is just epic.

GS, those are some fantastic hats. :eusa_clap

Can you please post some more pics of the inside of the Sport-Lite? I'd love to see the liner, and I can't make out what it says under the crest (beyond the company name).

 

[GoneSolo]

Sure thing. The text under the logo has an address: "1224 Chestnut Street." Most likely the address of the hat shop, although there is no shop name stamped into the sweatband. Here is the liner:




It is an earlier one.

Thanks and, again, fantastic! :eusa_clap

GoneSolo your hat was sold at the Stetson factory store. Does it have a date stamped on the underside of the sweatband?

GoneSolo your hat was sold at the Stetson factory store.

That makes sense :eusa_doh:

Under the sweatband:
One stamp reads
L 194LW
LOT 7210

Price tag:
Sport Lite
U-10
EO
$6.00

The only other stamp present contains the duplicate number: E578658

 

[carouselvic]

A date stamp would be on the leather itself...your hat may pre-date this system.

New Akubra Kiandra...

Got it from a Lounger in Classified & fits perfect... gtd

Stetson 'The Playboy II' Hat

Finally had a chance to wear this and took some photos.

Its an old Stetson The Playboy II hat. It was in mint condition and picked it up cheap! The body is long hair beaver fur and seems to be a homburg style. The wavy leather sweatband is because the hat was a little big so i stuffed a thin strip of felt all the way around underneath the sweatband. So I've concluded that after 4 vintage hats at 6 7/8, its too big. I'm a 6 3/4. Anyone have any they are getting rid of?

Got my new Fed IV Deluxe last week. Here are a few pics, the color isn't great, but it is the dark brown:

My first attempt at a diamond bash. I'm pretty happy with it, and it will get better as I work with it.

I am thinking about trying out a C bash though. It could just be me not being used to the look, but the hat seems a bit tall for my face, so I am thinking that the C bash might take the crown down enough to look right one me.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Gee, I dunno, Trailrunner. In the first photo it looks pretty tall, but in the shots with you wearing it, it looks great. I particularly like the profile.

Have fun!

Here is my latest hat and in my opinion one of Art's best creations. I am calling it Pyramid of the Moon 1976. The hat is done in blue smoke.

Hats are like potato chips, You can't just have one! Especially a "Work of Art"!

I'm with HPG on this one Trailrunner. It looks good on you. And the color fits you too, especially your beard.
