Thanks, Don!Nice Whippet with nice color.
That is VERY good-looking, Alan!! Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the informative history, as well!WWII era Royal Stetson sold from a tailor/haberdashery located next door to now famous Vidler's 5 & 10 (still there) in the historic town of East Aurora twenty miles southeast of Buffalo. Menashe Kadet, an immigrant who settled in Western NY and died in 1961 followed a familiar path for Jews from eastern Europe to America at the dawn of the 20th century. My family was on that boat too.

YAY!!! I finally get to participate in Whippet Wednesday! Scored this mid-50s beauty just before the movers arrived, and haven't had a chance to show it off yet, but I'll be wearing it proudly today!

I have quite a bit of Stetson advertising... Only Problem is that If I find an attractive framed print, I just HAVE to go find that hat!~ lol
The Whippet is iconic. Not always the best vintage hat, but its profile and characteristics make it easily recognizable. I have a couple of the Stetson Whippet advertisements hung in my wardrobe. I am confident that many other hat fans have the same on their walls.
What a great compliment. It not only made my day, it made Colin's day too, https://www.colinjohnsonshoes.com/ Colin Johnson is the Cordwainer who made the shoes.With that tie? Those burgundy shoes are ::chef's kiss::
A Whippet, leaning on a whippet, in front of a Whippet. That is a trifecta of pure awesomeness, Eric! Kudos!!

Wow! Colin's prices are REMARKABLY reasonable for such nice footwear!What a great compliment. It not only made my day, it made Colin's day too, https://www.colinjohnsonshoes.com/ Colin Johnson is the Cordwainer who made the shoes.
I can see why…. Nice hat David. Goes great with the corduroy jacket.Whippet-ish homburg conversion from @Randall Renshaw that is still one of my favorite hats.
