By the way, David, is that a 2 1/4 brim?
Love the double breasted suit, and I'm jealous of your hat for its straight sides and no taperMany great hats lately as usual. Wore the modified Glen Grey Campdraft down to St. Paul tonight. With winter fast approaching, I really should get a black hat here soon.

Nice hats this morning folks.
David; You have a definative hat wardrobe sir! That is a marvelous hat for this morning. I imagine it is fun for you to select a hat for wearing out of the house. Way to go!
As to the Whippet, yes this chocolate is a newer one. I tend to post in the "Wearing" thread, not the "new" thread. I picked it up at a store in Northern Minn. on a recent jaunt. It was sitting lonely on a shelf covered with baseball caps. The sign said 2 caps for $10.00. I picked up a John Deere Cap and the Whippet for $10.00. I wanted to return the John Deere cap to the shelf, but the proprieter started looking indignant, so off it went in the boot of our auto for those moments that you need a John Deere cap. The hat has a lovely ribbon color and liner and felt are spotless. I offered my other Stetson Whippet (similar vintage) to my guitar laying buddy. He has a very close similar size and very little mod's later it works like a charm. We often play together, 20-40's acoustic blues, Now we sport matching vintage Whippets. We smile knowing about the special hats on our heads, while the audience is usually mearly appreciating the novelty of our msuic and appearance.

$10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a Minnesota Lottery win to me.
Fantastic hat at its original price.
What is the name of that Minnesota time with no inflation since the early 50's? I need to go look for a Thunderbird.
