Thank you. I believe this was produced in 2015 as part of Stetson's 150th anniversary collection.

Sheez Bob...i think you’ve found more embroidered Last Drops than anyone ever.
Another fine one and unusual.
Is this the technique you use??

Ps: Willow and I were looking at phone pics yesterday. Took awhile. I laughed like a fool cause everytime we hit one with me and that beard i had she’d pipe up “Uncle Bob”!!
Funny part was she’d argue with me about it. I lost, she won, i’m jealous. Lol
We were looking for pics of her Paul Bond “Kabob” boots you pointed me too.
Funny kid!!

Ha,ha ... that technique is a bit too formal. I just use old locally sourced sticks and it doesn't hurt to wear a similar hat to what I'm trying to locate.
Give Willow a big "howdy-howdy" (as my Dad used to say) from me.

The first new hat I've bought in a while.
This antique boater was $10.00 at a local flea-market. Another $10.00 was spent in getting a new sweatband put in. It's got one or two minor dents, but no major damage, and is perfectly wearable!
I was told it was from about 1900-1920...

I must of missed the Fortune and Glory; however, I did score a full beaver Stetson Bogie in the same tobacco color for a terrific price.

A classic!There is no doubt that this type of finish has a particular charm and it is increasingly rare to find specimens in good condition. Steve has the best collection seen so far.

Huckel "Prima" size 5 or 57 cm.
View attachment 208018
In excellent condition and ready to be worn by those who have a head of this size
View attachment 208019
The velour is magnificent, thick and very well preserved, and the hat has an unimaginable lightness.
View attachment 208020
Built in Czechoslovakia and imported into France in Poitiers exactly some time after the Second World War
View attachment 208021
For exact dating Steve will be kind enough to provide it

These are the measures: the brim are 6.5 cm, the crown 13 and the ribbon is 5 cm high.

I know I promised to let hats not of my size be avoided, but beautiful ones are hard to let go of

I sure wish I wore a smaller size so I could find these beautiful hats. The ones I find are more like $500.

Thread hijack!!
I remember the Dowsers’ conventions on the Danville (VT) village green back in the 1960s!

Introducing the Musketeer Lite from Phoenix Hats
The back story:
Some time back, Rick @humanshoes started playing with a variety of ribbon combinations which got this whole thing started. Most of my felt hats are 2 ½ to 2 ¾ inch brims with a 4 ½ to 5 inch finished crown and 1 ¼ to 1 ¾ ribbon (westerns, derby’s and thin ribbons being the exceptions). I have one black short hair trilby (1 7/8 brim) that is a great grab-n-go hat. While I’m not heavy into trilby’s myself, I thought, why not build a sporty, grab-n-go, 50’s patterned short brim model with some unique features that breaks away from my “norm”. And so the new hat started to take shape (pun intended)! Recently, a post was made of a Stetson Musketeer and, to be honest, I was surprised at the similarities. While there are obvious differences, this one certainly makes its mark as a Lite version of the Stetson Musketeer.
The Hat:
The hat is a Natural felt which tends toward gray/brown. The first and most obvious difference from the norm is the twin ribbon configuration using stacked ½ inch Saddle color and ½ inch tan color ribbons. The original plan was to make a pork pie, flat top crown but the final version turned into more of a telescope crown which, to me, suits the hat better. It maintains the Fedora look without drifting too far towards a Gambler. Sides are mostly straight but, to give it the sporty look, Rick added a rake from 4 ½ in front to an even 4 inches in the rear. The brim is 2 ¼ raw edge with a light flange and incorporates triple-stitching with the contrasting tan thread. I love the final outcome but there are a lot of earth tones going on with this hat so I thought I would add a splash of color. What do you think?
Fit and finish are spot-on as we have come to expect. Hats I get from Rick just keep getting better and better and I am mighty proud to add this “keeper” to my collection. Thank you, Rick.
[The hat has more brown tones than is evident in these pics.]
