On the Ninth Day of StingyMas
Dobbs with Guild Edge - One of the joys of StingyMas is going through and finding hats I might not have seen in a while… OR.. in this case… one I have no recollection of At ALL! This stingy Dobbs with Guild Edge with It’s brim coming in in between 1 3/4 and 1 7/8. A brownish grey felt with Maybe some plum undertones. The ribbon is an antique pewter color now veering towards green. The oil skin liner and brown sweat point to 1950s… the much shorter brim and manufacturing tag point to 1960s. I’m gonna go with late 50s/early 60s. It has a few or more fairly good sized moth divots and a whole heck of a lot of “character“.

Cool…. The one in Spokane? Or was it a chain?I hate whenthat happens!
My real problem is remembering which bands I've seen.
BTW - I have a couple of Daltons from Emry's. Cool.
Isn't it just great when you find a hat in the collection you just don't remember. It's like getting a whole new hat.On the Ninth Day of StingyMas

Sheesh, Eric, what’s all that white stuff?!!
It falls from the sky?!!
And worst of all, keeps you from wearing your fine fedoras?!!
Maybe the president is coming to visit the disaster area soon…
Stay warm and safe, my friend.
Beautiful, Eric! To me, as an Acapulco-born, snowy cold climates are painful, even if they are beautiful.
Hey, come to think of it, so was my first wife!
Felices fiestas, Eric!Randall snow stays into April in my neighborhood. More or less it is normal. It is not normal to be this cold. Happy Holidays sir.
Perry thanks. Back at you and your family. Happy Holidays.
I do like winter. All except the below zero parts. Max Happy Winter Holidays to you and your family. Feliz Navidad.
Cheers to all, Eric -
Wow what a hat!A nod to Jim with a stingy 3 ⅛” brimmed navy blue Gannon

Thanks Steve. You are right about that…. I imagine it may happen more often as memory fails.Isn't it just great when you find a hat in the collection you just don't remember. It's like getting a whole new hat.
That Dobbs looks cool Joe, moth divets and all.
Nice color and cool gillsA nod to Jim with a stingy 3 ⅛” brimmed navy blue Gannon

Free deep freeze?I'm in full on stingymas spirit today with another brown w/black ribbon Stetson with a whopping 1 5/8" brim. I'm taking advantage of an unusual temperature situation here in the picture. Most of my felt hats will be spending time here for the next couple of days.
