Some bad news (now getting better!)
Take it easy... Art, No one is happier with your custom hats and "reworks" than I am but not all of them put together is worth your health or one bad day for you. I noticed this thread and could not believe all the responses on just one day. It is a testament to what people think of you... -

Why is the Stetson Whippet so prized?
Whippet popularity I think the hat had a lot of things going for it: a very good advertising campaign, a moderate design which fit most any face and head shape, the Stetson brand and a catchy name. It along with the Stratoliner, a Cavanaugh and a vintage Borsalino make up the backbone of any... -

Is there a resurgence in Hats or...
Hat resurgence It's real! Mostly due to movies and musical entertainers. I see plenty of both and the movement is very real, albeit in its infancy. Look at the Indiana Jones movies, the fedora worn by Harrison Ford has taken on a life of its own. Johnny Depp, Keith Richards and many... -

Deon Sander's Hat
Deon's hat I thought he looked good for a change in that hat. It appeared to have an overwelt brim but I can't say what vintage. It's probably a new lid... jeboat:) :) :) -

Please help assess my hats......
Wider brims I think you should have wider brims than shown. You have a full face and a 2 1/2 inch or wider brim will look better. jeboat:) :) :) -

Request feedback from members on hat
Art is right! I have to agree with the master. Art has the same tastes(eyesight) as moi. You have a large head and face and therefore wider brims and taller crowns are always goona look better on you. jeboat:) :) :) -
