Thrifted this for $2 yesterday. I don't think it's ever been worn. It will make a nice summer beater.

Stetson 3X mid ribbon

Really like the color combination and mid-size ribbon on this one. Stetson 3X Beaver, no reorder tags. Raw brim, thick stiffer felt and a crown sticker with the peel off cover still on it. Felt color has a greenish hue in the photos but is really more of a camel color.

Peschel Velour

Peschel Velour, Size 58, late 50s early 60s.

I got this one for about $10.00. Looked like a wreck but I knew it was a nice wider brim Velour.

Wow, nice job straightening it out. Thats how I like 'em - not perfect, but in good shape.

Thanks! :) I took a chance and I think it paid off.

Hi Steve, beauty hat, I am amazed with all your picks, do You fix all the hats you get?

Thanks! :) I usually have to do some work on them but this one was extreme. It really needs a re-block but I will just keep it as is.

Alan, Thanks! :)

Received this Churchill Ltd. sold through Neiman-Marcus... first cowboy hat for this city slicker. A nice deep color that seems to mutate towards mustard in photos... I'd call it kasha, but a cowboy would probably prefer tobacco. Weighs about 6 ounces, comfortably light on my head.

Very nice Alan

Steve, I think dollar for dollar, you really got a great deal on that hat. It looks great.

Yesterday I picked this Champ up at a vintage clothing store here in Orlando:

Interesting brim curl and pin. I forgot to get a shot of the inside. The sweat band and liner are in almost new condition. The liner is gold and the sweat says Kasmir finish and Champ - Feel the Felt. It's a cool hat but I don't think I will be able to stretch it from 7 1/4 to 7 3/8 without really changing up the brim - it really distorts when I stretch it just putting it on. I'll play with it for a bit.
