Fathom or Phantom?

I like it, Alan. I think we could use a Plastic Felt thread with the Mallory and now two Stetson examples.

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks... I had the same thought. I will get that going with some additional photos shortly.

Though it didn't say "Plastic Felt," I did own a Dobbs from the same era as your Plastic Felt Stetson with the same type of round concentric stiching and recycled wool content. I wasn't going to add it to the thread, but wanted to get yours and Lefty's opinion first. This hat was most likely Hat Corp of America's version of Plastic Felt.

Neat Josh... I think you should add it.

Thats 100% wool, no synthetic content. Lots of caps made that way at the time and probably lots of cheap hats that didn't survive. Nothing to do with plastic. Could go in the Wool Hat Thread.

Hats with Casein(usually wool) mention that content as woolens required labeling unlike fur felts.

Today was a grey day here in New England and my daughter and I went to the movies this is what hat I wore, grey for a
grey day.

I just got that hat last week for $40.00 S&H included.

All the Best ,Fashion Frank

Gary Oldman might be the most versatile actor ever, from Dracula to Zerg to Drexl Spivey to Commissioner Gordon and so on.

He's fantastic.

Great hats everyone! I have some detailed perusal yet to do for the past few days. Alan and Josh those are super! Al, wonderful as always.

Manfred, I hope you are feeling better!!!

A Dobbs with a wide dark cherry or burgundy wide ribbon, for WAR Weds. This is a thick, plush felt, perfect for a cold, windy day on which I saw my first snow ever, in Mesa, AZ.

And by the way, who is that wrinkled old man wearing that hat? Jeez, how did that happen? I feel your pain on the unflattering picture front, Eric!

I can't wait to see that wedding hat, Rusty!... .

Thanks again Perry.
Art was kind enough to send Mike some ribbon for my hat.
BUT... my daughter has changed her mind on how she wants her colors...
so...
I will get with Mike on what we will do next!

Thanks again Art!

Its not made yet...
she may change her mind again.

Great Sedona pics, hatophile!

 

[Blackthorn]

Thanks. Yes, its my Akubra stylemaster. Its a wonderful hat and I love how it feels. I only had a wool felt before and didn't realize what a good hat was like.

I have Stylemasters in 3 different colors, and they are my favorite non-custom hats.

Hey, Rusty. Thanks for the pics from your trip to Mike's. I love his new sign, and I'm real interested in seeing your finished wedding hat.
