Lefty,I had my eyeballs on that Blue Playboy as well. Did anyone here get it?

Feraud's Whippet is the bee's knees.

It's back from the milliner for sweat reattachment. It certainly doesn't look brand new, but I'll take an imperfect, original hat over a renovated one any day - especially with this hat's incredibly thin and light sweat. It's so light, it tried to eat my Trinity.

New York Hat Stores was a chain in California with many outlets.

There was one in this hotel.

What I'd give to be able to walk into that store...

Great to have the original sweat re-attached -- that was definitely the way to go, for all sorts of reasons. Fantastic find.

Air Light Bantam - not mine - ebay photos

**It's wild to look at the Trinity now and know that it's being worn in Scotland.

Stetson Bantam (Air-Light)

more details

Sweat says Bantam but the box and the ribbon seem to say Playboy.

Beautiful.

Just fantastic... circa 1936ish I'm thinking. So glad we wear different sizes. Thanks for sharing the tag.

Drooooool....

Darned if that doesn't look exactly like the entrance to Meyer the Hatter, down here in The Swamp. Even to the glass-fronted cabinet out in the middle!

RLK, +1 again on that hat. I've never seen a brim that was just stitched through the felt. Is that for aesthetic purposes only, or does it also strengthen the brim a bit?

I'm absolutely SPEECHLESS! The most beautiful hat I have ever seen! The color is incredible, the dimensions are incredible, and the condition is incredible. I'm extremely impressed with K2r and the results. I've never seen a playboy air-light with a vented circle going around the crown tip sticker. I thought all air-lights only had the Maltese cross vents. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Very nice hats here. I saw a Dobbs that was almost identical to the white one here- one of the
lightest, softest hats I have ever held, and in like new condition. I posted about it in Classifieds, but
didn't buy it 'cause it was over $100 and not my size.

Anyway, nice to see rlk's is JtL's size.

I have one Zephyr and no Air Light hats. Sigh.

Very cool Vic. An airlight wide ribbon open road. Was this just on ebay?

carouselvic · Feb 28, 2012

No, I bought it sometime back. I've posted it here before.
