Interesting

I just snagged this Huckle for myself as an early B-day present.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but I hope it looks half as good as the pictures show.
My wife is gonna hate the hairy little thing.

And that's why you bought it? Hmmm...

You know me Carter, love to be different and it looked like it needed a good home.

 

[Viper Man]

Not until the 13th, I think TangoYankee is the day before or after.

Nice, mine's the 28th. So does that make you a Scorpio or Sag? lol

Scorpio.....

Royal Stetson

I picked this one up last week on ebay, it appears to be new, I can't find any evidence of use. It doesn't have a name but it looks similar to a Playboy.

I'm a little perplexed as to the date of this hat. It looks to me like early '50s, Jimmy can you confirm? Obviously this hat was pre-creased at the factory

 

[BobC]

Nice find, GWD. It sure looks brand new.

7 5/8 Portis

I finally won a Portis in my size. Let's hope it really is a 7 5/8.

Gary, Looks like you won a nice one there!

 

[Spats McGee]

That's a beauty, GWD!

Carter, that one's pretty sharp, too.

 

[Colby Jack]

Carter...that's a sweet looking lid!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[GWD]

That's a great looking Portis Carter! Congrats! :eusa_clap

 

[jimmy the lid]

Absolutely fantastic score, GWD! Just fantastic. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Hey -- does this look familiar...?

This ad dates from 1951, and features the Stetson Wanderer -- which essentially combines a Playboy-style crown ribbon with a thin bound edge. I think it's a killer look. I think your assessment of early 50's is right on the money.

Cheers,

It's very close, the picture on the auction showed the hat with a $10.00 price tag (which didn't make the trip) and mine is un-named but it could be a prototype.

 

[UWS Cowboy]

This is my first fedora. It's a stetson. I know, I know, it's not vintage, but I like it a lot. Picked it up at Bencraft Hatters by the way, what a great shop. The people there are really nice.

Nice hat, UWSCowboy, and welcome to the fedora club! That one is only the start. :eusa_clap

Bolt,

That is a very interesting looking hat. I love the finish, it reminds me of the Borsalino Peluce. Nice find.

 

[randooch]

A cheap western, before and after

This hat had what i considered a fairly cheesy little faux snakeskin belt with tiny silver buckle, so I tried to class it up a bit with a sage green thin ribbon. Hope I did well, but man alive, I need to practice making a decent bow!

And hey, GWD: I like that extra long bow on your new Royal
Carter, awesome Portis, and if it's a tad too tight, talk to me, a 7 3/8 - 7 1/2!

 

[Subvet642]

The ribbon is a nice touch, well done! On my monitor, it reads as turquoise, but I'll bet the sage looks terrific. I have a black Woolrich of similar design with a thin leather band that i've never liked (the band, that is.). Could I get away with a wider ribbon? How wide, and what color would you recommend?

 

[bolthead]

Thanks Stoney....

Bolt,

I knew you'd appreciate it.

I'd love to find a Borsalino Peluce.
