Post New Hats Here!

[hatsRme]

Thank you very much, Jim!! I hadn't gotten to that part of the story, but wondered. Tres Cool!

And, it's funny how we've all seen the boxes, but this seems to be about the only hat around with the Satellite designation. It appears that a good box salesman was there a at the time.

I should call the number listed...

Now, as seen it in another thread, in a color I've craved for years (No life, I know...)

The Stetson Satellite, found NEW from the mid-1950s. View attachment 67743 View attachment 67744 View attachment 67745 View attachment 67746 View attachment 67747 View attachment 67748 View attachment 67749 Handwritten "Satellite" tag, photo left, and the right photo shows the production number on the sweatband with a faint red number on the back of the liner.

First time ever, I am having a hard time bringing myself to shape it. Never had a new vintage lid.

It's always a joy to post in this thread.

Pristine, Charlie!

Wow, what an amazing find! I can understand you're reluctant to shape it, it's so pristine and has been sitting there like that for decades... Just think it was waiting there just for you to give it its proper shape

Damn! Sweet hat.
I bet you have more Vita-felts than Fruno has Daltons.

I'm up to five. So you're ahead...for now.

That's a great score, Ant. I know how you love the Vita Felts. I'm so happy for you.

...and a little weak in the knees.

Nothing like moon's vita-felts, not even old, but I got another Selentino today.....a nice rich brown under welt. I really do like the felt on these...........wish the color was better represented in the picture.
Cheers,

Stupendous Ant! Nice color and ribbon contrast. That finish looks really something in the closeups.

Sauve is a great company and this article talks reviews their products.

Mayser "Spezial", 60cm, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, Brim 2 3/4 inches, probably later 1950s. This hat is in super condition so probably seldom worn. The felt is fantastic and easily dry creases. Also looks great brim up or down.
