Stetson Beaver Thirty-Five
This one was brought back to life by jwalls and it's a very cool hat.

Really sharp hat, I sure like the crease in it as well and the color is great! Looks very good on you!

Mike,
Thanks for giving me a chance to see the hat creased and on your head. Loooking goood!!!!

 

[hatophile]

Wow, what a super hat, Mike. Nice job on the renovation, jwalls!

Late 1930s Stetson Special black homburg. Additional photos and notes here.

Mike, that Stetson 35 is incredible! You, my friend, are accumulating an impressive array of hats.

Alan, that homburg is very sharp, but that antique stretcher is simply wonderful.

I need that stretcher.

Beaver Hats - I picked this one up right before my chocolate whippet so I will probably be passing it along shortly as the colors are pretty similar. It has the original pricetag on it for $3.98

 

[zetwal]

It seems to me that $3.98 must have been a good discount price on that hat. I don't know how it feels, but it sure looks nice as you wear it. And although it's not the same color, it reminds me of the grey Nokabout that I sold to Aureliano (and that now belongs to DJH).

+1-- looks nice! I have to say, though I've been a fan of Beaver Brand, your new whippet seems to have a lot more character.

You're right, Zetwal. I thought the same thing. That Nokabout is a great hat, sadly though, didn't suit me the way I had hoped.

Great condition on that Beaver Brand, Mike. Thanks for the good pictures.

cheers,

New to me from Ebay. Westchester

Don't know anything about this hat but it looks similar to Rodkins Beaver Brand. The tag inside said water proofed, so I had to test it.

I received a couple of new hats from Art Fawcett today. Not exactly the correct season, but I'll take one to South America with me this winter, and the other will be here for next summer

The first hat is a 900-wpi hat that Art made for me. I never thought that I would want something this fine. I was concerned that a hat this fine would be delicate, but after handling it I decided that I love the hat and will wear it.








This next one is a 600 plus wpi. This hat was ordered from PB to be a teardrop crown, but when it arrived the crown was to low and the brim narrower than I had wanted. Art and I discussed that hat and decided that making an optimo crown would solve both concerns.

really like the one with the maroon ribbon

This is my new Ebay Won a Resistol 7 x Beaver.
The History of the Hat.
Lyndon B. Johnson
made this hat for the gift of Felix von Eckardt, a German politician.
In 1952 began his political career when he took over in February, the Head of Press and Information Office of the Federal Government in Bonn.
He was in fact government spokesman. From May 1955 to 1956 he acted as an observer at the United Nations in New York. Von Eckardt, who was considered a confidant of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
Thats the story from Ebay. Is it true

Two very cool hats. That is quite a low crown on the second one - leave it to Art to come up with such a great solution.

Thanks Rodkins
