    At the Dog Track... The Whippets

    Feraud is correct in saying that the "style" or "type" is simply a fedora.....a name given to hats that resemble the style first worn by a character in the 19th Century play of the same name, however the definition has evolved over the years. The Whippet is a model name given by Stetson to...

    At the Dog Track... The Whippets

    It looks like to me that a wider portion of the ribbon is showing on the top side of the brim than is showing on the underneath part of the brim.....or is that just an optical delusion?

    At the Dog Track... The Whippets

    That's because the edge ribbon is asymmetrical on the gray one.....I think.

    I'll Be in Atlanta

    Yeah......it ain't much, but it's the only thing going for now. The owner is nice. He doesn't know a lot about vintage hats, but he does carry a lot of the current stuff, if you dont mind tapered crowns. Has a lot of straws, too. One word of caution....it's in the middle of Downtown Atlanta...

    1) Black, just like in the photo on their website. 2) I don't have mine with me, but I'd say about 16-19 ligne. You can look at mine until yours arrives: ;) Randy

    I'm pretty sure this Dusty Rose is Pecan: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=13616&page=11 I had a similar hat made, which is definitely Pecan: Hope this helps. Randy

    Musicians?

    I've played guitar, bass, sax, keys, oboe and harmonica over the years. Styles include jazz, blues, folk, rock, pop, country and orchestral music. Currently, I play bass at my church in Atlanta. We have a pretty cool church and I get to wear my hats. Here's me & my Panama Bob/Art Fawcett...

    The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

    We all know how many engines the Strat had. The debate is whether the original hat pin had 2 or 4 engines. From old photos, we know the airplane pin is flying from right to left. The most abundant pins that can be found in existence are the TWA pins, but they only have 2 engines...

    Looks great on you!!!! Actually, my hat from Casey had the pug seam on the customary left side. You could switch it if you don't like it. Congrats on your first Panama.....most likely not your last. ;)

    The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

    Guilty.....I was bidding against you. :o 3 things: 1) I like the idea of a repro, but are you sure you want to do a push-pin back? I bought a repro fly-hook-pin with a push-pin-back for my Dobbs Rainbow, but the back was too big and it dug into the side of my head. I finally bought...

    Panama Hat Thread

    Dunno.....you might ask Graham. Perhaps the "Optimo" name is generic, since it's a style of hat. But I agree with carouselvic............yikes :eek: !!! I doubt anyone would confuse this company with Graham's, once the products are compared. It's a long way from Arizona to Chicago. ;)
