Thanks, Teach! I like this one also. I have a bluish grey one that is one of my favorite hats.

Cool Playboy, Mike. I think the shorter brim suits you well.

 

[delectans]

That is a beauty, Mike. Sumptuous colors.

I'm at home with the flu, but found the energy to sit on the back steps and snap this shot for a moment. Beaver Brand 5X.

Belated well wishes for a speedy recovery, Jeff. You look sharp even when stricken.

Very nice velour, Steve.
Sharp Dobbs, Robert.
Your Tumwater is tops, Dave.
Love the color and look of that Playboy, Mike.

+1. Get better Jeff. Got to say also that I miss your cool beard, man. It went great with the hats and whole look.

Nice Adam, Perry. It looks green-ish on my screen.

Perry, the Adam is terrific.
Mike, that Playboy looks marvelous.
Jeff, I hope this note finds you feeling much better. If nothing else, that hat should boost your spirits, as it looks fabulous.
Ale, that Borso is magnificent. I envy you!

Thanks for the well-wishes! Much better today, just a light cough.

You and me both, man. That's what I get for having time on my hands... Maybe it'll be back by summer if I stop shaving now. Thanks for the well-wishes as well.
That new Borso is awesome. Your grey tones have been an inspiration as of late.

Gray Adam today for gray weather.

That is a great Adam, looks good on you, Perry!

DJH-- always look forward to your Tumwaters!

And thank you scooter too!

My new Stetson Playboy

What is the brim and crown measurements on this? This looks like a hat I would love to own!

 

[Rodkins]

What is the brim and crown measurements on this? This looks like a hat I would love to own!

This is a 5 1/2 inch open crown height with just over a 2 1/4 inch brim.

 

[mayserwegener]

I really like THAT hat!! The proportions, color, bound edge and especially the ribbon work! Is it a centerdent w/front pinch crease as well? Nice, nice hat !! And loks GREAT on you as well

Thanks! See more below.

It doesn't seem to have bound edge... maybe cav, Steve?

It has a factory applied tear drop crease & side dents with a raw edge. This hat was actually made in East Germany (GDR) late 1950s early 1960s.

Perry, Thanks!

Sounds great I really like the 2 1/4 brim length. Do these come up for sale often on ebay?

 

[mayserwegener]

David, Rodkins, Perry, Super hats!

Sounds great I really like the 2 1/4 brim length. Do these come up for sale often on ebay?

Yes they do. Just keep in mind that it's not always easy to get an accurate brim measurement from an eBay listing.
