I picked up this really nice porkpie recently for a song and a dance. Super clean except that someone had written their name inside the hat. Has a 2 1/4 inch brim as well as the original box. Box is marked 6 3/4, hat is 7 1/4 but color is right. Feels virtually new!

In antiques, that's what they call provenance

As requested, Josh. I am not that big on black hats, only have a few, but this one is very nice.

AGREED! Very nice, hatophile! I dont wear black hats very much either. I always feel that people think that I'm Orthodox when I do. Granted, I also dont have any 3 1/2 inch brim Borsalino's like they wear either.

As has been pointed out in other threads, the black hats tend to make one think of Orthodox or Amish depending on your geographical location. I have also recently seen photos of Gypsies (in the music threads) wearing larger brim black hats.

At any rate, I like this one and plan to wear it more next fall and winter, since Spring is making it's way now to Ohio.

Well, you don't look Orthodox, Amish or a member of the undertaking profession in that black hat. You look like an individual, possibly with eccentricities. That's the kind of look I try to engineer for myself.

I am not being critical but your mixed metaphor just cracked me up. My turkey sandwich almost came out my nose.lol

Eccentricities? What makes you think that? (My wife may agree with you with my hat fetish and all). I know, I look like a Gypsy, right?

Very sharp, Speed. Is that a Navy blue? Love the ribbon treatment. You should have fun travelling with that hat!

 

[SpeedRcrX]

Thanks for the compliments. The color is black

 

[hatophile]

Even better! Makes it more versatile.

I wondered if anyone would catch that!

SpeedRcr, that ribbon is stunning!

Stetson Twenty Five Open Road

Got this one in yesterday and I love it! The felt is like clay and it keeps a dry crease amazingly! Other hats I need to steam to keep the crease, but not this one. This is the first time a have felt a Stetson Twenty Five.
Can anyone tell me from what decade this is? It says Open Road in front and Stetson Twenty Five also on the sweatband. I can see that the lining is sewed in. Thanks.

 

[hatophile]

Marvelous hat, JJ, I would guess 60's vintage based on the liner, but some of our other experts could be more specific.

 

[casechopper]

I have that style of liner on a hat and was told that the hat was from the 80's.
