Green must be the color of the day.
Jimmy, the Stetson is gorgeous, as usual.
Gene, I saw the other pics in the new hats thread, but this one is the money shot. Looks great, and I love that wide binding.

Thanks, Jimmy. I thought this one would cause some excitement. It's not that perfect, really. The camera 'cleans it up' a bit. But I'm lovin' it nonetheless. I detailed it better in the 'New Hats' thread.
Now, about that Stetson of yours. The sharkskin like quality of the ribbon looks just like the one on my Tom 'n' Jerry. That Stetson is a uniquely beautiful lid. Good job on procuring that one. And I like the center dent!

Jimmy....
After you shape all your brims......do you store them that way, or do you snap them up for storage?

Bolt -- I do not store my lids with the brims snapped up. As a general rule, I store them on their crowns. That may cause some to cringe, but it works just fine for me.
Gene -- Thanks, glad you like the center dent!
OK, I have now caught up to your post in the "New Hats" thread, and it is uncanny how the ribbon on your Knox does seem to have a similar quality to the ribbon on my Stetson. That last shot in the New Hats thread is very reminiscent of the gradation of color on my ribbon. Wow! Incidentally, how wide is the edge binding on that Knox? It looks more like the width on a Stetson Vogue (3/4") versus a Stetson Whippet (3/8").
Cheers,
JtL

I just finished editing my previous post -- I thought your edge binding might be in that ballpark. To my eye, that Tom 'n Jerry is very reminiscent of the Stetson Vogue. Just beautiful.

citRon,
That Tawny Fawn Federation looks great on you! I just received mine Fed IV in Moonstone and was contemplating the Tawny Fawn. You sir have made my decision. Next pay, I'll be ordering another Federation. As soon as I get the Moonstone the way I like it, I'll be posting some pics.

Gene, that is indeed a classic! That edge binding is the widest I've seen, I believe; very,very nice.
JTL, thanks for posting the technique on your brim sweep. My vintage Resistol has a sweep that looks more like an umbrella than a hat and I will try out your technique on it today.

Not a vintage or anything spectacular, but a good hat nonetheless.

It's nice to see pictures of so many hats but we don't often get any additional information about some of these vintage lids. That's one of the reasons I initially joined the FL. Pictures are fine but pictures with information are even better. As one of the more astute members of the FL, your posts are both interesting and informative. Happy Holidays, Carter
Great Mallory, Dman! Can you tell us more about the hat and perhaps post a picture(s) of the sweatband and liner?Dinerman said:Early '30s Mallory homburg, with one of the most interestingly flanged brims I've run across.
