That Racine looks very nice. I had one ordered from Sterling, but apparently they couldn't get it. May reconsider ordering it somewhere else. Couldn't beat the price, though.

This one had been in my hands briefly a couple of weeks ago, but I sent it to Art for cleaning and blocking. Stains and discoloration have been reduced, but it still has some character.

Box just opened:

Placed on the hat stand at my desk, with the repro Strat pin in place:

Thanks, Art!

Whats the difference between the Racine and open crown Whippet? Contrasting ribbon on the finished brim and brim size? Crown height?

Brim is 2 5/8, and the Crown is 5 1/2 . and a double bow on the Racine Bob.
Brim is 2 1/2, and the Crown is 5 1/4 on the Whippet. Not sure about the ribbon/bow/edge binding combo's possibility's. Info is limited on the color combos. The rust color ribbon really isn't me...lol..........but a C crease might help it some. I like the Racine better. Both are nice felt.

Thank you. +1 on the Racine.

Today arrived this vintage gray Cury - special edition "4º Centenário" (Meaning the 400 years anniversary of the city of São Paulo - Brazil in 1954.

Brand new, never used, with tags still attached to the sweat...
