Copying is a form of flattery to all youvery rarely do I love a hat from this era ... but damn that is a fine looking piece
love it
wonderful crease as well
most likely 60s ... possibly 70sThis was an eBay find. XXX Beaver, Stevens.
I don't know how old it is but it comes from a time when a good beaver hat was $10. It was dirty but undamaged. A little wear on the sweat but otherwise near perfect.
Anyone with insight as to its age I would greatly appreciate it. I'm still new to all of this and have much to learn yet.
Wow, what a price! Game Bird is a fabulous lid!
Nice grab, outstanding price
Thanks for the likes and the comments on the Game Bird. After a little research, I fired up the kettle this morning to try to straighten this one out. As the steam began to release the bouquet of half century old cigarettes into my kitchen, I did my best to bring this one back to somewhere near the shape it likely started with. The low crown pork pie shape and snazzy band look to me like they'd be more at home in a smoky jazz club (and smell like they were) than in a duck blind.The liner alone is worth more than $4. Congrats!

well it was cheaper than a pack of smokes... Looks perfect for a jazz club nowAs the steam began to release the bouquet of half century old cigarettes into my kitche
If it is still noticeable box or bag the hat up with a static cling dryer sheet & set it out in the sun for the day. Dryer sheets can do wonders in absorbing odors....the bouquet of half century old cigarettes...
I'd rather smell tabacky.If it is still noticeable box or bag the hat up with a static cling dryer sheet & set it out in the sun for the day. Dryer sheets can do wonders in absorbing odors.
