Wow. I really like that one.New in, reproduction Vintage Whippet. Sold as a Matt Deckard design for the Japanese market.
3 inch brim, 6 inch open crown with pretty soft and pliant felt, though not as fine as my 100% beaver Excellent Quality New York LE.
I like the bold styling, and bound brim.

Not having luck with vintage Panama’s lately. Some crushing during shipping and it is too small (probably a 7-1/4).
That is one super looking Bowler, Jack. Congrats.Too many new pieces to list! But had to share this piece purchased from Steve...Bowler #3...20s-30s Wilke (German)
...and one for the noggin....
This 1960s Stetson 3X was stained and in need of some attention, but there was a decent hat hiding there.
As received:
In progress: 3.5” bound brim, 6 3/4” open crown, six cord ribbon.
First outing: the Mariposa County courthouse is the oldest continually operating courthouse west of the Mississippi.

Great rescue job, Brent. A more than very decent hat was waiting for you to do your magic. Looks good on you.This 1960s Stetson 3X was stained and in need of some attention, but there was a decent hat hiding there.

Nice find, Randy. I really like that wide pug. Looks like you've found a nice complementary shirt to it, too. If I were you, I'd stick to the pug for a while and see if it grows on you. Personally, I think you suit it and it suits you.
I called them on the phone and got right through. They are open Tues to Sat. A western weight pure beaver runs $650, knock a hundred off if there's a floor model in you size. Custom runs 3 to 4 months out. I asked about their website and they said it's still under construction. I may stop by his shop later this month while visiting my daughter in Utah. Would love seeing his shop.
I hope you do stop. I would look forward to learning more from your visit & pics!
Nicely done Brent....This 1960s Stetson 3X was stained and in need of some attention, but there was a decent hat hiding there.

Hi
And i thought it was just me with the hat noise thing.
Doc, Good to see it arrived safely. Thanks!Too many new pieces to list! But had to share this piece purchased from Steve...Bowler #3...20s-30s Wilke (German)

A beautiful survivor BB! And a 5X. Has to be rare. I love that liner even without the protector. I think there have been other hats on the FL from the White House, Tucson. I'm envious of such a hat!
