two new purchases that I have fallen fast in love with

for a couple years now I have been searching for a grey Playboy with a contrasting black ribbon... my favorite colorway on a hat...

I finally found it ... 1950s era Stetson Playboy

and this amazingly lightweight late 40s or early 50s Portis "The New Slant" that I received from my friend @BobHufford

such a gorgeous hat !!!

Truly glad "The New Slant" ended up living at your house if it couldn't stay at mine. Congrats on the Playboy as well!

Two fantastic hats. I love to see a Playboy example to compare with my 1935 clone. Lines are more "50s" and the crown is not as tall as the Slats. And to see yet another New Slant variation. The hat band it like mine but it is unlined, the lines are similar on both hats. Yours does appear to be earlier, don't know how much, it just feels older. You never cease to amaze Ant!

thank you brother ...
yeah that Portis is quite unique ... I've only seen one other with that type felted band treatment ... @Redfokker owns it
all the other New Slants I have seen have either a traditional bow or a pug type ribbon
the only 2 ads I have found have a traditional ribbon.
this is one of the lightest hats I own ... easily top 3

Finally was able to have a bit of time to take some pictures of my "new" Dobbs, a rebranded 3x beaver Resistol under the name of Dobbs West.
Color is Granite gray and it have green tones on it. Need to take pictures of direct sunlight.
Size is 7 1/4 but it does not fit me. Looks more to be a 7 1/8. It had foam foam inside the sweatband to reduce size, so when I removed it, all fragile paper was ripped.

Wearing my new felt Jay Lord Hatter Fedora out of Manhattan NY

This Royal Stetson came in today. I'll get better pics tomorrow when it cools down a little. Sellers often claim a hat is perfect, excellent, mint, never worn, etc. I believe the seller on this one, which was listed as being wool felt. The Royal Stetson designation precludes that possibility and the felt is indeed very nice, thin, and molds like buttery velvet.

Ribbon is unique to my experience, as is the raw brim on a RS. VERY DARK brown felt, like espresso or 80% cacao dark chocolate.

Very happy with this one. It came with a simple center crease and no dents. After trying a teardrop, c-crease and diamond, I put it back as a center crease but added some front/side dents. Excellent.
