Beautiful hat, suit, and photos, Atomic! Really like the light hat, dark suit combination.

JtL and JT: thanks for the kind words. It is indeed a lovely hat, nearly flawless and nearly unworn (I don't think that the previous owner wore it at all). Just one small moth nibble in the back (less than 1/16"). Bought it on the bay about a year ago, and given the economies of time, it was a great deal...

Cheers,

RC

Well, that is one of the all-time great Stetson hats. A true classic. For you to find one in that condition is just an incredible bit of good luck. Wear it in good health!

Cheers,
JtL

For all thin ribbon fans, take a look at "Detective Story" (1951) starring Kirk Douglas and directed by William Wyler. Great movie, and lots of thin ribbons.

That would be my My Custom Tailor suit, inspired by Hemingway Jones's. It's a vintage-based three piece two button single breasted peak lapel, which I had them customize with more vintagey 5 1/2 inch lapels, in brown w/ cream stripe. More images here:

Very handsome, Atomic Glee, the hat, the suit and the man. Would you call your suit the 30's style? I remember seeing something similar in form over at the 30's style.

I will make my appliation for The Brotherhood of the Thin Ribbon one day.

 

[Jerekson]

Thanks Atomic, great suit.

I posted this picture in another thread earlier today, and looking at it, was wondering if this might qualify me for membership in the "Brotherhood Of The Thin Ribbon"???

 

[RBH]

Yep!
I say you are our newest member.

I don't know...

We may need a ruling from the rules committee. I think what you've got there is a "mid-ribbon," Barry -- probably about an inch wide, I'd guess. But, I yield to the founding member of the Brotherhood. You'll notice that, over time, his definition of "thin ribbon" has expanded...

Hey whats all the hub-ub,,, bub!!!!lol
I have you know I broke out my Campdraft today. AND I bid on a sweet looking Strat.. but some guy that bids on every thin ribbon that comes along beat me out.[huh]

 

[Cat In The Hat]

Count me in as a fan of the thin ribbon. I have all ranges on my collection of hats, but for some reason, I like the look of the thin ribbons best.

Stetson 3X

Thought it might be time to dust off this thread -- it's been a while. Man, there are some great lids here.

Here is a Stetson 3X that just arrived this week in mint, open-crown condition. This one has a western-style thin ribbon and is a beautiful ivory color. I love the feel of this felt -- substantial and smooth. The liner features the embroidered "Last Drop from His Stetson" scene.

Cheers,
JtL
