Alan, I'm glad a Lounger got that Dualist. I watched it, but decided not to bid. Excellent on you!
Picked up a Stetson Playboy from Etsy; got a great deal since it's definitely used but it's just what I've been keeping an eye out for. Not yet sure what era it's from, but I'll be looking at the Stetson ID thread tomorrow to figure it out. I'll also try to take more pics, I've just been spending time cleaning and re-creasing it tonight. Alan, I actually based the crease off of your diamond creases since yours always seem perfectly done...
Looks a whole lot better on you than me, Monk!
He has inherited two of mine already. I altered a beat-up Akubra Bushman to a stingy brim and added a brownish ribbon in a style similar to Rorschach's hat in Watchmen, which he wears well. He also has an old wool Bailey of mine.Introduce them to hats as a kid and they'll be addicted for life.
Thanks! And I did come across a similar one in one of the Stetson ID threads, though I also haven't seen others with a wide ribbon or welted edge before that. Here's the pics from the inside. These are what I used to date it to mid-50's (not sure if I'm right though):Looks good on you! I'm not familiar with the Playboy sporting such a wide ribbon and over welt brim edge... would love to see some inside picture when you have a chance.
+1... I think late 50s to early 60s...
Thanks! Sounds good to me.Thanks for adding these, m0nk... I think late 50s to early 60s, but others might have more knowledge on this crown imprint.
