Stetson - Mayser 3X Beaver Quality Homburg size 58cm. The date is stamped inside the sweat 12/27/58. The hat is in perfect shape. The only issue is the paper size tag ripped when I pulled back the sweat band.

Here's some shots of my new Whippet. Did I say new? Yah, it looks like it came off the line yesterday. It even smells new. I couldn't get it to hold a dry crease for the life of me. The brim snap was all wonky and the crown kept popping out - it was like dealing with very thin cardboard. So I got out the spray bottle and gave the hat a good dose.

"Ahhh... Where ya been all my life, man"? :eek: A talking hat! :eek: ;) :p

Excellent sir! It is superb. :eusa_clap By the way, my max bid was too low on the Habig homburg you pointed out. I'll try again on another though.

GWD, that Whippet is a cat's meow!

Thanks! I saw you just missed on that Habig. I am keeping a look out for another one.

As I am seemingly the only hat obsessed person in this shopping area the only real hat supply store here let me down into the dark lair of their basement yesterday.
I found an unusual old Akubra that I have not been able to find any mention of anywhere at all.
Anyone here know anything about a "Ranchero"?
The pic is awful, from my phone in the store, but it is a delicate cream and the crown is an open telescope almost completely round:

Here I will also add an equally poor pic of the Akubra Stockman my father gave me and I refitted this week:

I haven't heard of an Akubra Ranchero. Didn't Resistol have a 'Ranchero' at some point?

That one looks a little like the Akubra Cowboy, though it's hard to tell from the pic.

This one from the 'bay. It's a deep midnight blue color velour:

At first I thought it was black, but then I held it up to a black velvet evening suit that I plan to wear to the symphony tonight and its true color became clear!
