Post New Hats Here!

[Strapped-4-Cache]

Just received a HUGE (20" x 20" x 20") box at the office. I was expecting a hat, but had no idea it would be *this* big.

My Knox Madison Avenue on the box for scale. Sorry, didn't have a banana.

Opening the box revealed the first actual Stetson box I've received.

All the extra boxes inside were empty and were simply used for padding.

I pulled out the box and opened it, hoping for the best.

I know there's quite a few folks interested in what lies behind the sweat, so here's some front and back shots.

And the obligatory noggin shot.

Needs brushing and steaming. Has a few spots, but nothing major. I think this one will be worn quite a lot.

Got this Lee Adventure the other day, first Lee I've ever owned. It's a nice lightweight hat. Color is actually sort of blue-grey, almost powder blue, but the pictures don't show it.

Somehow I can see William Powell wearing that as he trades quips with Myrna Loy. . . .

Now I want to try a brim treatment like that. Hmmm. I've got a Knox OR clone that I could work with. . . .

Hey everyone!

Lookie what showed up on my doorstep!

I like it!

 

[Bob Roberts]

Meeeeee tooooo...

It has a 3 1/2" brim...I think it has to be called "The Big Italian". Fits nicely.

 

[Bob Roberts]

Nice deep flange balances off that 3 n a halfer so it doesn't appear that big.

That's a good one, Moehawk! I especially dig it with the brim up. Great vintage vibe to it...perfect for sunny day activities.

 

[Frunobulax]

Lotta shade, there, Moe!

 

[mayserwegener]

Great find! It has an Alpino element.

Rockel "Echter Velour", size 59cm, 1950s. Very nice finish and really like the ribbon width and bow design. Thanks to Manfred for this one!
