Knox Foxhound

 

[Rabbit]

Nice doggie, Robert. I wonder whether the Knox Foxhound model typically had ribbons with some sort of texture like the one on yours or the one below?

Found myself buying outside my (usual Resistol) brand this week, my dad says "that's alright just don't mate outside your species."
Stetson Open Road 3X Silverbelly (1950's?) Here it is atop my San Antonios:

Well, honestly, I had some hat money set aside for another one of Bob's Black Sheep hatworks lids, but I couldn't pass this one up:

A really fresh looking Stetson 100 complete with the original case.

I think I paid a fair price for it.....

*Seller's pics, I just won this tonight, hope to have it in hand by the end of the next week.

I thinks you paid a more than fair price for the whole kit = hat, case, insert & keys!!!! Great snag!

Thanks for the comments on the 100, gents. I'm really excited about this hat. The 100's were natural, undyed felts, right?

Great 100 Jared; That set-up is something special!

Yay - I'm glad you got that one Jared!

That is a great deal on what looks to be a very nice S100. I bought (and sold) my one for way more than that.

The S100 is just a great package, with the super cool case - I hope you enjoy wearing it.

Jared,

That is a beautiful hat and a great buy! Even though it is not my size I was watching that auction just to see what it would go for. If it had been a larger size I bet it would have gone for $400 to $500.

PS: You got lucky too that it didn't have a name embossed in it. Most I've seen usually do.

The 3 that I have owned (still have 2) do not have any names embossed in them, not even initials. YRMV...

Right, the Clear Beavers, 5X & 7X, along with the 100 are undyed beaver felts.
Main thinking is they are all the same felt bodies, just finished differently with the 100's being done by a master hatter.

Gorgeous 100 Jared, you should enjoy that one!

 

[Txmason]

This is my first hat, a panama hat from Panama Bob (www.panamas.biz) Thank you to everyone that has been so helpful with advice etc.

Best,

Hello!

this is a new hat I recently purchased. It was made by Shawn Rettkowski and purchased through his etsy shop- http://www.etsy.com/shop/ShawnsHaberdashery. Here's the description he posted for the hat- "I finally feel comfortable in presenting to you my hats. up first is a 100% rabbit fur fedora with classic 40's styling! The color is a very warm Sahra sand. This lid features a 2 1/2" brim, 5 1/4" open crown, 4 3/4" crown with the bash. The ribbon is a chocolate brown and 1 1/2" wide, the bow has a contasting sahra ribbon stripe. The bash is very easy to do and holds very well to whatever shape you feel fits best. The brim is very nice and snappy, yet soft and pliable. please feel free to ask questions! As I am just starting out I am keeping prices low and just trying to get expreince as I go."

I have to say, I am VERY happy with this hat. The small collection of hats I currently own are almost all vintage, from the 40's- 50's and this one fits right in. I will definitely be keeping an eye on his future work. I wish my photos were better, to do this hat justice!

caul, looks good, in my eyes..The proportions are well and the color is great.
Looks like a felt with a good stiffness.

I picked this up on a road trip from Vermont to Michigan to visit the family. It's at Henry The Hatter now to get cleaned before we return, but I thought I would share the quick before pics with folks.
