With a tip from @Redfokker i just picked up this Master Mode Custom boater from the Bay. I'm not sure of its vintage and wasn't able to find much about the company that made it but for what I settled on a price for it the quality looks excellent and I am tickled.

Stetson Whippet. Details in Stetson/Hatco Outlet thread. View attachment 79592 View attachment 79593 View attachment 79594 View attachment 79595

Great looking hat. I like the lines of that crease. Is the brim width on these about the same as an older one?

more narrow ... but Whippet dimensions changed around the mid to late 50s to something more like this

It says Open Road on the sweatband but I'm thinking it's not an early Open Road but rather, a mutt put together with a repalcement sweat. Still a cool hat. I'm thinking of giving it a Spencer Tracy, Joel McCrea kind of frumpy crease. Sometimes the hat has other ideas, though.

You had me at shark's gill...

Of course the obnoxious feather HAS to go!!!!!

 

[Bob Roberts]

Oh my!!

Indeed.

Anybody ever hear of this one? A Stetson Highway, a fedora, not the western hat......I like the looks of it.....much like the Whippet. It has a 2 1/2 inch brim.......I really like the tan binding....AND it is an OPEN CROWN!!!!
Well one is on its way from St Joseph.....along with a tawny Stetsonian that was on sale for $75.......... That should do me for a while.......

^^^I saw the Highway at St. Joe a while back. It is part of the " City collection" (whatever that is) & I think aimed for the hipster market. It's tapered. JMO. Your opinion might be different.

PS: St. Joe currently has lots of black cherry Dobbs something-or-other if anyone is interested. On sale thru Labor Day.
