The hat looks great and I love the pin - CCCP? Tell us more!

New white mexican hat by VIQUEZ, rabbit hair, nice and confortable ¡¡¡

That looks so smart!
Just lovely.
What can you tell me about the pin? Is it for sport? It compliments & contrasts with the hat very handsomely!

Hi Rick & Alan, I have some sport pins, this was a present, a friend mine went to the Olimpics in 1980 and brought some , I got since ¡¡¡¡
Cheers ¡¡

Again -very nice, Sir.

Since 1903, Bardsley Hats had manufactured high quality felt hats in Australia, many for the Military.All of their hats I have ever seen were dated on the sweat. Very thoughtful, eh?
Helen Kaminski "merged" with Bardsley Hats in 1995 Helen Kaminski (a brand I've NEVER had a use for) and they now seem relegated to a very few models for the horsey set.
Shame, their lids were as tough as nails. This'll make my third.
Wait, what? Really? My third?
I guess I like 'em.:thumb:

I like it, Rick! Different than what I am used to see, but wow. I like different!

Stetson 4x Open Road

Any ideas on age on this one?

 

[Landman]

Nice looking Open Road. That is going to be a very new one. It has the holographic tag on the sweatband and I think they have only been putting those in there in the past few years.

PS: If you decide to turn the front brim down make sure you steam it real good first or you can damage the felt because it has a lot of stiffener in it.

Just picked this up on eBay. Stetson "Custom V". Not familiar with the model. The color is this fantastic heathered light grey with specks of blue.

Lauro
#1 That is a gorgeous hat with unusual coloring, looks barely worn.
#2 Custom V is a rare find as opposed to OR's Strats and Whippets, I rarely see them on Ebay.

That is a real winner, congrats!

Man, I need me a heather felt.

 

[randooch]

Man, I need me a heather felt.

You and me both!

Killer hat, Lauro. I've only handled one Custom V. Like hato said, they are scarce.

There wasn't much action on it because of the size. It's a 6 3/4. I almost didn't bid cause of how small it was. I was hesitant to stretch it when it arrived but was amazed at how easy it stretched and how it kept its shape. By the looks of it, it doesn't seem to have been worn. Even came in its original box. Not bad for $70!
