Early 50’s Stratoliner in a fine morning’s light.

Good to see you again. That Strat is a looker!

Hat a great Saturday,

Good luck on the hunt. I really like that straw. Great lines. It would look super with a wild color pug.

Nice felt for a summer day Bob.

Old Marathon or modern J.C. Penny? I like the lines and pug.

Thanks Red, it’s special to me being my first vintage purchase, the one that set the hook.

I'm don't know when Penny's quit using the Marathon brand. By the style and quality it seems older. It's Toquilla woven in Equador with a thin but high quality leather sweat labeled Genuine Panama, J C Penny and company Solar Straw and New York Made. The sweat is definitely not the bonded leather so common in the 60s and 70s and I doubt Penny's was selling Toquilla any later than that. So, I really don't know, any help with dating is much appreciated.

I was going to try to wear my 50's era Playboy. But I have decided to give it up, it is now posted in the classifieds. I'm a 7 1/4 and this is a 7 1/4 Long oval so unless I wear it very high on my head it goes wonky on me when I pull it down where is should be. Art says I would need to re-block it to a 7 1/4 for it to fit right. Details posted in the classifieds.

I got one just like it in my Moonhaul. Same size, and everything.

Good Saturday all. The torrential rains have held off so far. Sporting a relatively low tier, but reasonably fashionable panama this afternoon. Have a great weekend!

Love the color of that ribbon. Very nice!

drmaxtejeda · Jul 21, 2018

My first Open Road. No wonder people like them. Soft and firm at the same time, beautiful color, supple felt. I thought it would be too"Westerny" for my taste, but it's not.

GB Borsalino with backbow. Originally sold in Acireale, Sicily. I love the large wide ribbon. I wonder about the life it once had in the old country.

Stars aligning? Terry @T Jones just said he wanted a Playboy and he’s a size 7 1/4 to 7 3/8 so this might be perfect for him.

Wish it was a 7 5/8....

Stunning! Looks great on you. Not too western at all.

The crease is what makes this beauty less of a western. The original cattleman crease they came with is much more western.

A thing of beauty Tonio. Is this Borsalino old? I know the US had a resurgence of the Back Bow style in the mid to late 1950s. It is a style from the 20s I think.

Nice color and brim on this Stetson Brent. I should look for one of these.
