That's a sweet Stetson, Rick Blaine!
Panama is pretty sweet looking, too, Walter Neff 1940.

Just got home and this was waiting on the front stoop.

I'll post more details in the Dobbs thread when it's daylight and I can get better pics.

Sweet, Dale. We may have to start communicating a little more on these Bama bound hats.

This one was posted in the classifieds. Thanks, OCMH!
Certainly a case of love at first sight. 20's J.C.Penney's Marathon. Genuine Velour. Fits my 7 5/16 size noggin as though it were made for me.

This thing is in amazing shape for its age. The sweat is supple, felt is un-dined upon (at least to my eyes) and the liner is really nice. I'm torn between saving it for occasions and wearing the heck out of it. I'm sure I'll find a happy medium.
I should check the classifieds more often.

Glad you like it, it really is a great looking hat. I vote wear the heck out of it, its a sturdy little hat for how old it is. That sweatband felt like it had another hundred years to give.

My first post in a hat-related thread, I think. Just found this hat at the local vintage store. I have always liked these 'fuzzy' hats and it fits me perfectly. Furthermore, to my (not so experienced) eyes it looks pretty old. Curious to know what you think!

It has a rather high crown, taller in the front.

Inside label is no longer legible, unfortunately.

Label behind the sweatband is, but I don't know if that says anything...

I like your background too Dale!

Thanks Roger! In my line of work, I never wear them, but yet I still keep collecting them. Gotta put 'em to some kind of good use.

I wish I could wear mine to work. I have found a ton of those ties and I love em. I do wear some of them to church when I can.

Just received a custom Kevin O'Farrell made by Kevin when his shop was in Durango, so it's been a while. Cheesy hatband will go to be replaced by a grosgrain ribbon & the high fenders will be coming down. The crown should open up tall enough for either a Tom Horn or Gus crease. If I was any good I might try my hand at a horseshoe crease. Hat does have a couple of small larva holes but is otherwise a nice clean hat. I'm happy to get an O'Farrell.

I like it too. Wouldn't have guessed it was from a fish just by looking at it.

Sweet find, Dostioffsky!! Looks to be one of those hard-to-date precisely European products. Hat making techniques remained for so long that exact dating could be from the thirties to the fifties. No matter; this is one sweet find!

Spudman; a terrific addition to your rotation, Sir!!

Alright, that gives me at least some direction. Thanks! Yes, a lucky find–I am very happy with it!

Don't know how I missed that O'Farrell, Hurricane Jack. A FANTASTIC find, friend! Congrats!!

And DALE!! That one will work into your line up as a STAR! Great lid, man!!

Good-looking beast. The kind of hat a retired Shakespearean actor might wear, along with an overcoat suspended from his shoulders and a gold-capped walking stick. "Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt . . ."

Nice one, Hurrcane.

Thanks! Kevin passed much to young! It's getting harder & harder to find a hat made by Kevin before he sold the shop in Durango. As it turns out this hat was made in 1989, on my birthday! I am pleased to have it!

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Thanks BB! I hope to have time to work on it over the weekend. If I can find something I would like a 3/4" beaded hatband with some green in it, instead of a grosgrain ribbon. The hat is a light pecan. With the coins this hatband is a little fancier than I want but I'm definitely liking the green!

Nice one, Hurrcane.

Nice catch,Jack.
