Post New Hats Here!

I have been trying to find a Twenty Five for a reasonable price, and now I can check that box.

I gave it a quick dust-off brushing before quarantine in the deep freeze, but it will need some more work. There are some minor stains, and a LOT of steam will be required to get rid of the cattleman’s crease, but the felt is flawless otherwise, and the sweat is soft and pliable. This may be the one that forces me to try my hand at a naphtha bath.

@Snowman - I just got my first 25 in this week, as well. My new fave OR.

Good luck with the cleanup—mine was just very dusty but really took steam well.

Cheers,

David

Looks great, David! I think mine will be fine. I’m going to try some spot cleaning first. I hate to relegate it to “beater” status!

Just like @drmaxtejeda recently, i also found this modern Borsalino in moss/darkgreen. Mine was 15 euro's. Thank you very much dear seller!

First fedora - I wanted to check it out with an overcoat as I bought it for cold weather - what do you think? Could I do better with a different colour or style? I wear very conservative suit & tie combos for work.

This is the Hat To Be Named Later in the trade I made with Joe for a Caxton in his size.
More of this amazing green Vanzina Pavia in the Italian Brands Hats thread!




Check it out!
...and thanks again, Joe! Love it!

I'll crease the hat and polish up my selfie-grimace soon!

Posted the backstory of the retailer last week, but finally came around the hat hat itself.

Super Panizza in a grey colour called lampo (lightning). Size 56 with the raw edge brim at 7cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Fairly sturdy felt that seems set in its ways, but can be convinced with some steam. Nice hand on it though. The liner is very nice as well. Very happy with this one.

Nice Panizza Stefan. Is this the one you where waiting off, you told me?

It is, but the weather was not kind enough to take pictures of it.

1982 Shudde Bros Beaver Supreme. 3 1/2 inch brim, about 5 3/4 inch open crown. Probably the dirtiest hat I've ever bought. This was a curiosity purchase as much as anything. I had no idea when Shudde used the Beaver Supreme name, but guessed this hat was at least 1960's or after because of the fake little belt-type plastic hatband, which to me is an insult to a hat of this supposed quality. Turns out the sweatband has a date handwritten on it. The felt seems good for a 80's hat. Can judge better after the hat is cleaned.

Very nice! That's what I call a jackpot hat.

Among the very best vintage Westerns to ever turn up & appear on the FL, BB. Especially in a size >7-1/8. Very nice!

Thank you! Couldn't disagree.

Thanks, HJ. It's a style I've long admired and to find it in an old Stetson is special to me, especially in this condition and Size!

What a find, Greg!

Thank you.

Wowza, Greg!!!!

Much appreciated Charlie and even better to hear from you!

Gotta praise THIS hat Greg!
The ultimate 3X embroidered Last Drop Stetson. The wide ribbon sets it far above our normal examples.
The pinch, the crease, the curl….definitely a Bamaboots Classic.
Perfection!
