New (used) piece from Stemwinder Hats (?). Seller says it's light gray. My vision 'feels' a soft but Western hand. Anticipation...

NJ, I've never owned a Stemwinder. I was interested in the Moss green one but missed out by $1. There was an eBay auction/liquidation in 2016 of an estate collection with several Stemwinders in it.

I'll look forward to your opinion & review.

Oh my! So you were in the chase too? Not familiar with this brand either (then again, I'm still an 'intermediate novice'). I requested some basic stats but it appears the seller was only interested in selling. Got this one for a song. News at 11! :)

I researched Stemwinder & a few others I had never heard of from the 2016 auction. As I recall Stemwinder is strictly a custom hatter in Oklahoma City & her hats are well thought of. Don't know much more than that.

This Mallory The Dallas just found a new home. The sweat is shot and it needs cleaning and reblocking so I’m having it shipped straight to Bond to have it resurrected into something new.

This is my second Mallory and I’m still waiting for the Youthful Smartness to kick in.

Looks like pre-Stetson. Great pick up. Too bad about the sweat.

I'm anxious to see Scott's restoration;he has a real touch.

I'd just wear it...

I came close to giving it a go as it is, but since it could use a clean and reblock and the sweat is badly separating, I decided to get it rebuilt and be done with it and have it ready for the next 60 years. I’ve also been wanting to try Scott out for refurbishment work as he quoted a 1-2 week completion time!

My new-to-me Brent Black (from eBay) arrived to my brother-in-law's home in Texas. He will bring a whole bunch of hats for me on his next visit to Mexico... I will thank him with free dental work again.
Nothing like family.

Sounds like an international hat smuggling ring :). Good score on the Brent Black!
