    Nice Douglas. Not an easy hat to come upon. I had one once but condition was pretty bad so it went away..

    I'm a fan of the ribbon width on the grey colored hat in the first pic...

    I like it...

    You asked for it. The 1930s pink!





    But one of the best things about portis was their boxes. Along with "Adam", i think they made the most interesting of the 30s hatboxes.

    Thanks for that image, DOUGLAS. Another one for the archive.

    Here my two most recent Portis acquisitions. This first one is dark brown, I liked the ribbon treatment. 1" bronw ribbon, with a matching bound brim.
    2 5/8" brim.





    This second one is tough to describe the color. It's not gray and it's not a very light brown???? It has a 2 5/8 brim.





    I'm very pleased with them. Now if I could only find a light gray one!

    The whip stitched edge binding on the brim on the first one is unique! Both hats are terrific, Razzman. Great pictures, too!
