Jeff, I am a bit late but I saw you're nice recent finds to late. Both hats are nice and that Western hat, sharp. Looks great on you!
'Preciate it. The brim is 2 1/2". I was always more partial to stingier brims, 2" - 2 1/4", but I'm starting to like 2 1/2" as well. It gives the hat more body and flair; more felt to work with and shape.
A&A, Very nice hat. That brim length looks good on you. In my opinion, I think you could even go a little wider.
That's a beautiful Dobbs, AnA! I think the brim works perfectly for you.
AnA - that is a nice Dobbs! Color, proportions, all look good on you.
Very nice cap, Mario.I just managed to snag another beautiful French 1930's NOS flatcap
Great snag Rob!...
I opened it up and there's a Stratton campaign hat inside, in my size to boot!
...
so now it seems I have a campaign hat for work and one for play!

+1Great snag Rob!
Be Prepared....it is more than just 2 words....
I just managed to snag another beautiful French 1930's NOS flatcap, this time made from gray salt & pepper tweed with some nice red flecks (I couldn't capture those details with the camera). No holes, no cracked or ripped sweatband. The whole cap is in perfectly mint condition and came for a decent price.
Good morning all, had a surprise in the mail last night. for at 6 months after I became a Cubmaster, I had been looking for a campaign hat, I finally found one a couple of weeks ago, a beautiful Stetson Nutria quality in near perfect condition
Hi all. Only just picked up this size 7 beaver felt stingy brim from Etsy but can't identify the maker. Can anyone identify it from the liner logo?
That looks like the Stetson logo, but the center of the crest is different that the one in my hat from the 50's. Not sure about the model, though.Hi all. Only just picked up this size 7 beaver felt stingy brim from Etsy but can't identify the maker. Can anyone identify it from the liner logo?
The crest contains a motto "[...] qualitas et servitium" or something to that effect, and beneath the sweatband is a yellowed label with the hat size and "Chase" handwritten in pen next to it.
