That is gorgeous! Glad to see you opted for Randall's "Keep the important parts of the old headband" option!

I believe the appropriate exclamation here would be, "Schnazzy!!"

Sold my only other Disney not long ago. Was well paid, but I searched for years for one and was grieving its absence.
It was in rough shape, but restored to a decent level.

Snagged this 7 1/8 Disney “Robin Hood” Twenty last week dirt cheap! So, a solid, perfect replacement!
Love the pearl gray!
All I had to do was a reblock and upsize, and repair a few moth bites.
Started with 2 1/2 brim and now is sized up to 7 1/4+ with 2 9/16” brim, squared up crown and shaped with my half diamond, half c-crown crease. View attachment 604937 View attachment 604938 View attachment 604939 View attachment 604940 View attachment 604941

Nicely done, Randall!!

Nicely done, Randall!!

Thanks a lot, Mark!
My first Disney was okay, but the eclipse came early for me!

Thanks Voodoo, I was very thankful when Randall offered that option and it sure does look great, imo!

Great hat. I always liked that one. Yes, they are going crazy with Werstlemania here in town. I think my son and his buddies were down there today checking out the festivities

Beautiful Hat, Randall. You always have the good stuff!

Got a touch of sleet on it as I went to take the picture. A Supreme Quality Wormser homburg.

Thanks a bunch, D!
Reggie, I remember not long ago I was thinkin and sayin the same about you!

Three months ago I told you about this lobbia Barbisio, then I forgot about it.

Now, thanks to the rain cooling Northern Italy, I thought I'd complete the series.

I have my own ranking of the homburgs or lobbie produced in Italy and every time I handle one of my favorites the ranking changes

This one is one that always shuffle the cards
Good morning to you all

Yes indeed Daniele, that Homburg is in a class of its own. It’s a true head turner!

 

[Randall Renshaw]

Hey, guys.
I’ve got a question.
Has anyone here ever found and bought a vintage hat having their three initials stamped in the sweat?
I’ve been lookin for one with RWR but with no luck. Not even RR.
If any of y’all have had any luck, I’d like to hear about it.

Out this afternoon in a good old warm Royal De Luxe Stetson Firenze in navy.

That is one special Disney, Randall. It looks very much like my Lee GP clone with that slash dash pattern on the binding whipstitch. Which might make sense as I think Lee was making Disney around that time

 

[Blare]

Thanks Mark.

Thank you Reggie. Night one in the books.. heck of a crowd they had.

Looking sharp as ever in your Firenze.

Thanks for the Lee info!
I seen yours recently, I think.
Curious, Does your Lee have a unique name embossed in the sweat?
A few years ago I saw a cream colored one with the slash dash whips, don’t remember its brand, but I remember thinkin it was the coolest hat and would like to find one, but doubted I ever would.
There’s the Gay Prince, of which I’ve previously owned three, and now this Robin Hood—which I will keep.
I also have a 40s Stetson Tijuana (GP clone)
Seems this style was cloned as much as any highly copy catted hat.
