C & K "Eiderdown". I think Anthony said it was 1930s, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, it is one of my faves. Light as air.

View attachment 326183 View attachment 326182 View attachment 326184 Just got home from picking this one up at an estate sale.

$35 unknown Stetson from jjhat

appears to be rabbit leather band is very dry but not cracked (yet)


Great start!
Unless you’re prepared to replace the sweatband I’d not manipulate it, steam it, or perspire much on it. Stetson’s sweatbands of the period are not very good...I’ve had several shrivel like cheap bacon when exposed to moisture.

welcome onboard!

Give Gannon and Wolfbrae a look too. Wolfbrae is great as his hats are a bargain since he’s just starting out. Gannon...I don’t think you can do much better even if you’re willing to pay four times his price.

After the weather in Tampa last night delivered the first severe weather delay in WrestleMania’s 37 year history. Tonight the weather threaten to be no better but let up in time. With WrestleMania taking place at Raymond James Stadium the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the appropriate hat it seems would be @Short Balding Guy Stetson Buccaneer. However without Eric’s fine hat in my collection I went to the next best thing. Stetson Musketeer. Cheers!

Thin ribbon Sunday continues at my house.

Raking around some shrubs found me wearing a vintage Stetson Stratoliner with a 2 1/2" brim. This hat shows some patina on the felt and has a bit more "sahara" hue to it. Hard, sweaty work and I dried the sweat, treated it and brushed the hat. It is sitting on a block drying out.

Holy moly it was breakfast time. I grilled buffalo for tacos and caramelized some pears and topped with ricotta cheese. I switched to a vintage Stetson Stratoliner for my grill work. I am staying with silverbelly felt hues for breakfast.

My wife remarked that the hats are the same. I nodded and said they are only a bit different. This was an avoidance of the question of how come I need 2 hats that are "nearly" the same. Once the breakfast tacos and carmelized pears were on the table all discussions of hats evaporated. The meal was terrific.

Cheers on a thin ribbon Sunday, Eric -

I enjoy hearing about the menus almost as much as seeing the hats. You are truly living your best life Eric! (We need more Horatio pics though)
