Fantastic

Stetson Whippet - Light Brown
Milk Chocolate Felt
5 1/2 Open Crown - 4 3/4 as shaped
1 3/4 Dark Brown Grosgrain Ribbon
2 1/2 Brim with Contrasting 3/8 Binding

Thanks to a tip from @BobHufford , I picked up this brown Whippet. Because it was a dirty frumpled mess, I managed to get it for a great price… although I squeaked by within 40 cents of my bid. From the seller photos.. I knew it was rather dusty and because so I wasn’t sure what the true coloring would be. After a heavy heavy brushing releasing all that dust, this one turned out to be a lighter milk chocolate tone. Different from I think any other browns I have. I figured this one was going to need a lot of steam to get into a decent shape.. though try as I may to get around to that today… I did not. Turned out though after the brushing and sitting in the sun for a bit it managed to shape very nicely. I think will need a bit of steam to tweak out some wrinkles here and there. But that’s for another day. Thanks again Bob for the heads up.

Most days, Bob.

That's a nice one! Great crown shape to it.

I sure need one now, Bob. Wonderful colour.

Dang Bob i miss those Bars.

I don’t go to the Bars often, but when i do...i go for the Hershey’s Bar, the sand bar and my all time favorite, the crowbar.
Covers most bases.

Love this hat, Bob. Sorry the Bailey ran small.

Suits you to a T!

Wow!

 

[Blare]

Suits you to a T!

Thank you David. I think it’s a keeper. Whippets may not quite be worth all the hoopla around them… but their proportions and profile really do present a great look.

Good morning. Morning jaunter with my dog was taken under a Royal Stetson.

Morning coffee wearing a Stetson St.Regis.

I ran an errand over to the bakery and changed to a Borsolino.

Enjoy the day under your brim. Cheers, Eric -

Nice win, Joe. That Whippet should definitely be back to its original glory after some steam.

Recently arrived Rousselet.

Can't believe it snowed today!

Rousselet: now there's a brand that's missing in the collection. Perfectly fit for the weather it seems.

These are the MG files, it's fascinating watching people thumb through them.

Put the Biltmore on first thing, then decided it wasn't the weather for a straw.
View attachment 414591
Instead I swapped it for Esther's Strat-look-a-like. The MG shirt hasn't had much of an outing of late, had to put that right.

Very nice, Robert. Nice to see that you still had some sunshine while it was sleet over here!

Already nice, Joe and with some extra TLC it will only get better.

Thanks, Stefan. It is quite a nicely made hat. Sadly, not a 1930s or before version, but it's newer incarnation. I don't think anyone has found out yet who took over the name.
