Show us your Stetson Playboys

[Baron Kurtz]

All 7 L. O. too which made it an even better day. The 3 most sought-after Stetsons in the relatively rare long oval configuration. (my head is L. O.)

Here's mine. I think it probably came with a liner but lost it somewhere along the way.

Mine has the single row of stitching around the brim. I think the brim would be far too floppy without it. Brim width is 2-5/8"

It's definitely not gray or tan:

I like wider brimmed hats, but I have a soft spot for this hat. It fits perfectly.

Tony, Yours is a lot like mine and it does'nt have a liner just a printed fabric sticker.It also has a price of $10.00. It only has a 2-1/2" brim.

I think JP identified this as early 1950s in the Bermuda Green model but i'm not sure, myself. Mine seems to be a much duller, more sage green.

Rick Blaine: Please tel me that Optimo put on the correct ribbon width. On something as iconic as a Playboy, i'd say that's pretty essential. It looks to me like they've put on far too thick a ribbon . . .

It doesn't matter when it was made. Looks good on ya.
I'd like one in Bermuda green as well though.

Cool hats, guys.
Here are some shots of later playboys. Interesting (Terrible?) to see how Stetson took this model in a completely different direction. :eusa_doh:

Oh geez, the Playboy II. :eusa_doh:
Where's my shotgun?

Holy GEEZ, GoneSolo, what kind of a camera are you shooting with??????

That shot of the brim-edge stitching is incredibly crisp and clear!! I can NEVER get my digital to focus that closely. Of course, with a 35MM film camera it would be relatively easy....but for a digital, that's impressive!!

Thanks Jimmy!!

Pilgrim - I have a Canon SD600 digital cam. For really tight shots like that, I switch the Macro setting on, which can capture extremely fine detail.
