Thanks sir. I agree with the Stetsonian comment. I have had a couple Whippets that were Royal quality to the "nth degree." Marginal felt quality, stiff and fair appointments. This brown one and a couple others differ by having excellent felt quality and better appointments. Since Stetson has made them for 80+ years I will cut them slack for having made some marginal hats with this model name.
What are "appointments," Eric?

Bama; I am chuckling with the memory of a very early hat purchase of mine. It was more than a decade a go I had purchased a Stetson Whippet from Australia. I was thrilled with the inexpensive price and the opportunity to own such a historic and iconic hat. It arrived in a flat envelope and even more shocking was the hat. A trilby Stetson Whippet licensed to make in Australia! Quite a hat.

Hat came out of the flat envelope and popped open to this.

Thanks for stirring up the humorous memory this morning.

Best, Eric -

I'm a bit scared to go for a taller crown because of my height, (6'4") however I am a fan of wider brims. I do like how this hat fits with my tweed blazer which I plan on wearing tomorrow. I just worry how grey on grey works for the outfit, my general rule so far is: brown shoes = brown hat, black shoes = grey hat.

Also i'm planning on taking better photos soon because taking mirror selfies isn't really my thing.

A tall crown can be creased down, making them somewhat adjustable. A short crown, however, cannot be creased up.

We just moved to the area from northern Ohio about a year ago. It's much bigger than what I've been used to, and it's still rapidly growing. I had prior experience here when I was younger and attended Ohio State. We like the area. I would say that as long as you don't mind winter weather, it's a nice place to live.

My wife is most comfortable in the cold. As neither one of us wants to live out the rest of our lives and die on this island, I will go where she wants to go. Except Antarctica.

More like just plain curiosity. I haven't seen you in the "hatless" thread either.

I tend to avoid stingy brims, Max. They start to feel like "little hats" to me very soon, which I don't like for myself. There are stingy brimmed hats in my collection though and pictures of me wearing them. Stay tuned.
"Hatless" I tend to avoid too, but I'll make an exception today.

I like the combo with that jacket. You wear your grumpyness well.


Loving that ribbon treatment. Maybe it is not the green hats, but florescent green shirts that hurts his color blindness?:D:)




Well, way to go for the gold when you get back into a Homburg! Still love the brim stitching on the Dattero.


I like the interesting details in that weave Brent.


Light looking indeed! You sure have some great straws sir!
Thanks, Mike. You know me too well by now; it had to be the GB Borsalino:)
