The hard-to-find or unusual Hat Circle

[steur]

Is that felt, Stefan? Very unusual!
See, this is what I had in mind with this thread. And @BobHufford 's Stetson 150. I had heard of the 150, but wasn't sure it existed, and had not even imagined @steur 's Barbisio.

Yes, it is felt, Max. The structure must have been pressed in at some point in the manufacture.

Magnificent. Dibbs on the next one

That should fit right in with your golfing group. If the wind catches it does it fly farther?

 

[drmaxtejeda]

Ah! Hadn't thought if that. No wonder I like it so much.

Not unique, as Jerad (@jLee) once found a link to describe the felt dyeing process, so there must be more out there, and not necessarily Stetsons. However, this is the only one I've seen and the only one that's been on the Lounge (to my knowledge).

That thing is impressive. I’ve never seen another that wasn’t some sort of duplex. Always enjoy seeing it.

Thanks, Greg. It's one of my very few heathers, as well. I was really surprised when I won it on the Bay, as I don't recall there being much if any competition for it.

Fan clutch broke on a Chevy V8. A common action in the past when replacing V belts is to grab throttle and rev engine and make sure you don't get that slipping belt squeal. The fan and clutch unit moved forward and the blades of the fan screwed into the radiator but the hub detached and ricocheted off the crank pulley and hit me in the chin. I'm alive and my tongue was not in the way.

Daggone, that hurts to even think about!

Love that mirrored liner, Steve.

That's 'cause I didn't see it.
How long ago did you buy that one, Jim?

I never imagined a hat with a mirror on the crest. Great one, Steve!

Max, Thanks! The only one I have encountered.

I believe about three years ago.
