Post New Hats Here!

Thanks Fed. The antique mall where I found this, which I hit every couple of months or so, always has a dealer who trades in new, cheapo woolies. I always blow right by it. This was hanging in the very next booth and I almost ignored it, too. But then I thought, "That looks interesting..."

Serendipity!

Its a Strat. A 21st century edition, 150th Anniversary of Stetson, but really an exceptional hat. Moon met my desire for saying I have a Stratoliner in my collection. Stetson Excellent quality. Really soft felt, feels wonderful in hand. He said he would ship it open crown, but with his deft diamond manipulation, I could not resist. There are probably some modern Stetson features that I wont be totally in love with, but right now, I'm really impressed with the feel and quality. The liner logo could be crisper in printing, and the sweat logo is not embossed, but hey...I now have a Strat!

Found this yesterday. I was going to sell it when I saw the size, but then I tried it on and it fit. I had to have the clerk remove the anti-theft device because it was attached to the sweat. Brilliant.

This satisfies my desire for an inky blue Homburg. It's so bloody overcast here I can't get a good representation of the color. I'll try to get some outdoor shots later for the Champ thread. And a head shot.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Wow! Great find, Jim!

The rubber chicken told me to tell you to send it to me.

Classic rabbit - chicken standoff!

Glad you got it before Moon decided to keep it. Said with all due respect...
Its such a great color.

It has different characteristics under different light, brown tones on the kitchen table, rich green in the sunlight. I like it.

Sorry to hear this my friend. The sage is a great color. I would be interested in other "Excellent" Stetsons. The felt is butter.

 

[Redfokker]

Really nice, Red!

Thanks buddy.

The postman rang twice today! First with a heritage grade Banjo Paterson, then with a lovely old Dobbs back bow. The sellers pic of the Dobbs looked tan, but in person it is almost dove with a maroon ribbon.

Nice Banjo Paterson! Fantastic-ulous Dobbs!!! Man, I'm jealous over that Dobbs!

Brim is just at 2 1/4. I tried to get more pics but lost the light, ribbon turns out black. I'll try again tomorrow in natural light.

 

[Frunobulax]

Yeah, I love that Dobbs!

Might as well put a pic or two of this Mossant here.

More details in French Hats and Makers, and in the Bowler or Derby Hat threads.
