Early Stetson Bowler with thin rim binding

 

[djgo-cat-go]

Dimensionally similar to the Open Road. Fairly soft and smooth felt, lighter weight than some dress felts. I suspect an early Bradford(Resistol) perhaps 1950's.

That's a beautiful hat.. You scored really cool hats lately, some are a tad too 'exotic' styles for my taste but I commend you for the sheer diversity in your hat-collection. Looking cool without the stache too :eusa_clap

Now that is a THIN Ribbon! Looks good Chief. You may let Gene trim that brim just a tad... [huh]

This was one of my Wish list hats, I found it on ebay a few weeks ago and the Mrs. said I can have it for my Birthday, but I had to wait.......well, that's tomorrow, so the wait is finally over.

Sorry about the blurry pics, I was kinda anxious. [huh]

The color is kind of a Peanut Butter brown, very nice.

Any Idea on it's age?

Missed this the first time around, Bolt. Very interesting. Could you please post a close-up of the ribbon -- looks fairly unique to me, in terms of other Playboys I have seen. Also, I have an idea about the age, but could you please post a shot of the liner? That will help to nail things down a bit.

Happy Birthday -- and congrats on finding a Wish List hat!!!

Cheers,
JtL

Sorry, guys -- I'm with IC on this one! The brim is 3 1/4" -- which is a great width for all kinds of outdoors conditions. This one will stay as-is for use as a field hat. I do have a dress-weight Royal Stetson super thin-ribbon in a 2 3/4" brim for more civilized encounters...

Cheers,

Congratulations Kreissaege,....that's a very nice looking cap.

I've come close to ordering a Hanna more than once, but never followed through with it,....however after seeing one up close today and how it looks on you, I believe I'll go ahead and place that order.

You really can't go wrong with a Hanna. Lots of variety and they hold up extremely well.

Hey, Kreissaege,

Looks like we had quite a lot of caps getting some action the last day or two. I almost wore one a lot like yours yesterday. Yours looks good on ya'! :eusa_clap

 

[redhawks2]

So here's my new hat people cap in the full cut, just slightly smaller than the extra full cut. I haven't worn it enough for it to take on it's ultimate shape or drape yet. The fabric is a little thinner than I would have liked and there was no snap on the brim so I glued it down with hot melt glue. Kind of surprised at that. I really like these newsboy caps and would hope to run across a vintage one someday.

Herbert Johnson Bowler

This one came out of the bay in pristine condition - except that the seller put an inventory sticker on the sweatband! On removal it marred an otherwise perfect finish .

I hate taking images of black hats!

It fits as if it were made for me. This is very good because it's so hard that there's NO give at all and it could be quite painful if it pressed or rubbed anywhere!

Sue,
Johnson is hatmaker to the British royalty - and Dr Who!

Who knows what noble scones have heretofore donned that lid!

Not many or for very long! It looks unworn. 'Course, if it didn't fit the original owner extremely well I can see where it would get reluctant use, at best. This is a very unforgiving lid. It doesn't even have enough leeway to tilt!
