Four Excellent Quality "High Crown" Stetson Whippets are avaliable. Factory creased and blocked on a wide oval block to give them their unique crown profile. These will be offered exclusively only to the Asian market this fall/winter. They were designed by Matt Deckard based on his own personal hat that when seen by Stetson asked him to design for production. This block was the first new block formed/molded and produced by Stetson (specifically for this hat) in 30 years. Size available is only 7 and 1/4. In "Phantom Grey." Sale price $124.00.
Ask Candy for details if interested. Here's the hat for those who havnt seen it. View attachment 83432 View attachment 83433 View attachment 83434
Yer Wlcm. Was that the Whippet Ken or the New Yorker?Thanks Bob for sharing this for other loungers to see! I should of held off for a 7 1/4....I grabbed the 7 3/8 (only one available at the time)
That's a tough one, Mike. I think you win either way...Talked to Candy today, now I have a decision... The Stetson Whippets in phantom gray at Garland have two colors of ribbon. "Light and dark" per Candy. I'm leaning toward the light color combo, it is more casual looking for everyday wear. Bob's is the darker color I think. Ideas, preferences?

Good call Mike! I totally agree that it is light all the way. An early Congratulations on your impending purchase.
