...and Charlies brims are usually shorter.

Looks great. The pre-war Playboy had an unadorned raw brim edge. The decorative stitch was added later.

Do you have a pre-war Playboy? have we seen one here on the lounge? I would love to see how they are detailed.

I have a couple. I'll share links to photos tomorrow. Styling is very similar... brim was narrower.

Thanks, I did notice the narrower brim on the image I used. We decided on 2 3/8"

I have a Stagecoach with a similar height crown too, though it is dented differently,

I have cof cof... some Stagecoach hats and... they all have different dents (I think)

This is the tag in the Hi-7,

Thank you. Same color code 014.
It's a nice looking one and never saw a Hi-7 on that color. Only black and silverbelly ones.

Glad it made it Joao. Looks right at home.

It's right where it should to be.
Thank you again!!

Have a great weekend y'all!! Got a lot to look forward to as I am expecting a vintage Mallory gifted to me today from the mail man and a Dobbs Golden Coach by Monday. I'll post them as I receive them. ;-)

Sporting the vintage 50's Champ featherweight again.

That is a beautiful hat Jim. I love that color combo & it being a thin ribbon.

That has got to be one of my favorite felt/ribbon color combos. Great looking hat.

Here is the comparison of my two Playboys I posted in the Side By Side thread last year. The Playboy was introduced in 1934.

interesting ... to my eye that is pre 50s ... no? So where this stitch entered is more of a mystery than I thought ... mid to late 40s probably ?

I have no way to date this hat with accuracy - my guess would be a four year spread centered on 1950. The Playboy became a very popular brand for Stetson - it was likely produced in many configurations over its twenty something year run. Haven't seen enough early models but I don't remember a pre-1940 example with the stitch that we see in later years.
