Yard chores completed in a Stetson Whippet.

Mulching did not disturbe the hummingbirds from whizzing by to the feeders this morning.

AThis aternoon work shenanigans found me wearing a different "costume" and sport'n a Stetson 3X Fifteen. Vintage suit, tie, shoes and hat made up my duds.

Oh yes and a mask! I deliberately chose not to include pics of me in the mask.

Cheers, Eric -

View attachment 260238 Wish I could send this long, heavy rain to the west coast...but I wanna keep this hat. It’s my favorite...this week.
It’s the 40s/50s Royal Adam that I blocked and flanged posted a week ago. Great felt! Finally got around to sewing in a replacement Stetson sweat that I stole out of a 70s model.
It’ll be a daily go to hat, for sure.

You’re well healed...and headed today, Eric.
I’ve enjoyed seeing your fine line of Whippets. Do you happen to own one in dove gray with a silver, or black band and silver binding? I’d sure like to see it, some time, if you do.
Think if I could get my noggin under a 40s model in those colors I’d just quit looking for another hat.
Bought a mint 50s 4x Quality Supreme Champ With gills in those colors yesterday just to ease the rabid craving. May even cure it. We’ll have to see.

Hey guys, just checking in. This one belonged to my uncle, who was a mortician, and it just happened to be in my size—enjoying the hat show as always.

Resistol Byer-Rolnick - Beaver Fifteen
Kitten Finish - Silver Grey
5 3/4 Open Crown - 5 inch as shaped
2 inch black grosgrain ribbon
2 1/4 brim with wide Cavanagh edge
Wind Trolley

As excited as I am to be watching the return of NFL football tonight... I am equally excited to be wearing This 1950s Byer-Rolnick Resistol- Self Conforming Beaver Fifteen with luxurious Kitten Finish In a beautiful light silver came highly recommended by @Randall Renshaw. And boy was he correct. The texture of felt is about as soft and plush as you can get without being a velour. It molds in your hands with ease. The 2 1/4 brim definitely hits a sweet spot for me and it features a beautiful nice wide Cavanagh edge. The oil skin liner is pointing me to 1950s vintage. The sweat appears to be in nice shape and is still malleable. The proportions are fantastic with its ample brim and 2 inch ribbon. This one is in fabulous almost minty condition. It even possessed the original care pamphlet and the managers card from the store it was sold at. This is one excellent hat for sure. If I was ever forced to drop my collection to just one hat... this one would be definitely be in the running.... Both for its beauty and versatility. It hits a sweet spot for me in styling that this could be an everyday hat to wear from the most casual of casual to formal.

Here is the managers card and care pamphlet from inside the sweatband.

Good to see you, Reggie. Great Borsalino. I’m going out on a limb and saying it’s from the early 1980s.
Glad to see you looking well.

Nice hats-but you put on a suit to do yard work? New one on me.

Well, your hat knowledge is truly astounding, but make room on that limb, Brent, for I can guess the exact price Reggie’s Dad’s hat sold for in the early 80s...
