Post New Hats Here!

[Brad Bowers]

Seriously? One thing is talking about nutrias that relate to hats and, specifically, to a new hat posted by a lounger. But shoes?...I might be overreacting here (forgive me, I had mexican chiles for dinner ) but shouldn't this post be somewhere else?:rage:

It's Spam. I've alerted the Bartenders. At least she's from someplace other than "Array."lol

rlk,

I do hope you understand that your puppy pug is not made
of what we in the USA call a "puppy".

In fact, it is more likely to be the product of the silk worm.

Okay, that's all the self-parody I can swing after a long day...

lol lol On second thought, they might be Otters, not Puppies...

"Mine" Dark Gray telescope with 2-3/8" overwelt brim and 3-1/2" crown. A skimpy 7-1/8 in size.

Very nice! Does that one have the ventilated sweatband like the one discussed earlier?

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Just received this last week. It even looks good with a gray sweatshirt.

Well done with the FED. Good shape. Love the photos!

Woody, really like this ribbon, very nice.

:arated: I agree; great ribbon! I do like those textured ribbons.

Thanks guys
Not so sure this hat is what I thought it was but being really dapper makes it all worthwhile (especially with minimum monetary investment )

Not purposefully... Its more modern, end of the 1950's probably. It has two tiny pinholes(moths) at the top edge of the sweatband(crawled behind the leather at the edge). That seems to be the only place they hit and its not visible unless you turn the hat over and hold it in front of a light. Will do the same thing as the fancy vent... Its in the freezer now. Its too small for me.

I'm agreeing that Scotts hat is Otter and both creatures are called Nutria in Spanish.
...

...and I read (in an old book, but 'where' I can't recall ) that Stetson's use of the word 'Nutria' was Spanish. I realize it doesn't make sense to us in 2009, but in 1900 ...

Now, given the most recent stuff you posted, it DOES sound like Stetson was using giant water rat fur in their hats, not fur from the more romantic otter, but that bit of information directly contradicts what I read.

As far as the derby in question, yes - I realize it's from a real otter. If it were my size and style, I might be all excited about the fact, but as the situation stands, it's just an interesting curiosity that I wanted to share with the forum. I was thinking about bronzing the hat, or hanging around my rear view mirror.

Very good! I'm glad we're all still amused by this.

In a moment I'll post a pic of a new hat that actually fits me, and is made of fur that no one will dispute .... wabbit.....or 'hare'....or some of each....or a little beaver....never mind, it's probably made of giant water rat.

Stetson Mode Edge - 1950's Sovereign

I was very excited to receive this one yesterday - near-perfect wide-brim Mode Edge, but VERY dusty. Bottom photo is from ebay - it's now all cleaned-up and a light-gray with hints of blue; ribbon is very dark wine, almost black.

It appears to be early '50s - 'Mode Edge' is stamped below the logo, as opposed to being toward the back of the sweat, and the liner has the tiny 'watermark' Stetson logos all over it.

French Connection Hat

I am not a huge fan of the movie "The French Connection"... but I did fall in love with the hat Gene Hackman wore. My good friend, Gary White here at Buffalo's Custom Hatter has made me another version of the diamond porkpie. I have a black one I ordered last year, and love it so much I decided to get a similar style in chocolate brown. I'm so impressed with how it came out, and am so honored to have a master hatter like Gary White here in my own backyard.
