Looks great. Now you need a guitar and microphone to go with it.

Well, Im halfway there, then. I already have the microphone.

Just arrived from Delmonico.

You know -- for a modern Whippet effort, that ain't bad at all. Nice style, and a great choice of binding/ribbon/felt combo.


Cheers,

Now THAT is one good looking hat!! And it looks RIGHT on you !! After seeing it on you I'm going to have to get one just like it for me !!

I recommend it. I'm no expert to be sure but it seems like ra very nice hat to me. My background is with western hats and I'm new to fedoras. This hat is nicer than any of the 1960's 4X or 6X beaver westerns I have. Quite a bit nicer in terms of feel and finish. Perhaps Delmonico has your size in stock.

I've always liked jazz music and, in fact, I play a little of it myself. I've always liked pork pie hats because they are so popular with jazz musicians. I have only one pork pie and my wife despises it. It's too bad. I think it's very cool. Yours is even cooler, cat.

I got this yesterday from Mr E Train. Its a brown Miller Bros Gold label porkpie.

Its a nice quality hat in great shape. Although I like it, Im not sure I love it. But there it is.

Well, it looks good on ya. It's actually an Adam, from their Premier Quality line. I guess Miller Brothers just sold them. The felt is really nice and I think it suits you, so hopefully you'll grow to love it.

Hi,
New guy here, UPS just delivered my first fedora type hat. An Akubra Sydney, I emailed David Morgan and asked if they had any size 8 and they replied "yes, how many do you wont?" I paid for it Tuesday and it was delivered Thursday. They do have my business. Now I have to figure out how to bash it.

I have been thinking that I will most likely need a summer hat and a dress hat and a... What have I started?

Here's another cool old hat I can enjoy looking at but unfortunately never wear. Has anyone on here ever heard of a Stetson Supper Club?

Early 40's?

Looks nice. Think I saw one come up early last year. Never seen an ad for one.

I think you're dating is accurate.

It's got to be this same one from March.

Thats really cool and interesting Rodkins. I wonder what the difference between a Supper Club and a regular ST. Regis is? The Supper Club seems to have a different ribbon. Ive never seen a regular ST. Regis homburg to have black felt with dark purple/magenta brim binding though.

I know - the edge binding is different. I have seen this on several homburgs on ebay. It's almost like it used to be black and faded to the hue it is now.

I'm not sure if it's deliberate or not, I have an Adam the same. I'd have expected the edge and the crown ribbon to have been the same type and to have both faded though?

In relation to Josh's question the bow is a more elaborate box bow than on the St Regis.

I thought about that also if they are the same material. It also would have had to fade very conistently because the color is consistent.

Well, be prepared to be impressed with prices! I don't want to start a stampede mind you, but I called recently to inquire about a Whippet. I was shocked at the price quoted (nearly half what I've seen online). But the only one they had in my size was black, not what I was after. Interestingly, also a very good price (though not AS good) on the open Road. Further, I'm told they can now order hats from Stetson. While the lady said pricing would be similar, she couldn't be specific on certain models (I asked about a Nostalgia, she said they hadn't gotten any in yet- said she could order one once the factory re-opens, though she couldn't get a price until then).

I know - the edge binding is different. I have seen this on several homburgs on ebay. It's almost like it used to be black and faded to the hue it is now.

Well, whether as built or a vintage "quirk" of aging, it looks great! Can't wear it due to size I presume, bummer. Is it a true 7 1/8 or has it shrunk?
