Post New Hats Here!

[Short Balding Guy]

Playboy in name only!

“Stetson Playboy is the most popular of over 200 smart Stetson styles. It’s Extra-Light…can be creased and worn as you like it…over 30 attractive shades add the finishing touch to your outfit…from slacks to dinner jacket!” (From advert.. Saturday Evening Post, 1949. )

I would like to share with you my 2 Royal Stetson Playboys. Light brown with matching ribbon (kahki color) and taupe with an olive green ribbon. Walking in the 50' morning weather with the Playboy is a close "best" companion to my 2 Port.Water Dogs. It feels airy on the head, the band conforms after a few moments of walking, and the hat creases without ny effort. I think the crease and it happens. Man they wear well!

For my purposes the 2 colors are excellent.

Thanks for taking the time to share my Playboys. Feeling well hatted this morning, Eric -

Now you just need a couple of "bunnies" to go with them! Very nice, Eric.

Bunnies are always nice, but the word "Playboy" always makes me think of bunny with a little "beaver" thrown into the mix. :whistling

It had to be said......

Naughty young man!

Eire I've spent about 10 days on your lovely island, my great grandparents are from the County Cavan area I believe. I hope to return someday.

Great looking hats.

Agreed!! Great looking Playboys, Eric!! Beautiful color combos on those hats.

Thanks for taking time to share a gander at the "boys."

The moniker "Playboy" always conjures up the forbidden for me. When folks ask about the hat I usually introduce them as vintage 40's-50's Royal Stetson. I avoid any erroneous impressions by carefully choosing my words. My mother asked if the hat was done to show honor to Hugh Heffner. Happily I could provide a pleasing answer.

Only saying the name Playboy in the privacy of my own study, Eric -

According to some dictionaries, playboy as "wealthy bon vivant" is from 1829.

I appreciate the reference. It certainly has a ring to it..weathly bon vivant. OK, I will use it. My northern scandinavian family will get a kick out of using it as an explaination.

Just back from a visit with family in the U.S. I've got two new Vintage Silhouettes beauties to brag about. First a dove grey Whippet-style fedora with a 2 5/8" brim:

And a really nice milan which I'm looking forward to wearing when it warms up here:

Thanks Art!

 

[hatophile]

Both gorgeous, Jaunty. Good to see you back, hope you had a nice trip. Let's see them on your head!

My picked this up at a flea market for a song!!! Not super old 60's probably but of good quality looks like it was never worn! My first Dobbs and the first stingy that looks ok on me!

Let's see her bashed, Jauntyone!
