Fantastic find. Really like that 8 ribbed ribbon and the triple stitched brim binding.

Cool find, Jeff. I wonder if the cord button wasn't done that way on purpose and the cord was meant to sit on the brim break, like with this Brent hat.
Can't go wrong for $20, Dave. Nice find.

Why would you need to ask, Stefan? I started the theead, but it isn't mine...Thanks, Jim. I'll ask Max
Thanks, Joe.
A project hat maybe, Brent? Who knows what could be conjured up from it?
Thanks, Max.
That's a gorgeous hat, Max. And a stroke of luck that it firs you so well.
It was a jest on my side, Max. Apart from it being a Borsalino I didn't think it all that unusual. But because it is so uncommon I'll put it there, sure.

Cavanagh Fifty Silgrey with Park Ave. at 47th St. address.
The "Fifty" is not marked on the sweatband, but the price was fifty dollars. Wonderful felt, with an excellent hand. It is only slightly thicker than the Stetson Ermine's.
The verdigris stain is the strongest I've seen. Ignacio will take care of it.

Just figured out this is where these go. Recent Akubras. What you all think?

That is super cool, Stefan! I tried different configuraions, but the cord is elastic, and too short to sit around the brim break. Oh well, I can try fixing it on a little lower sometime.

I think all 3 look good. But that gray Cattleman stands out. Just my opinion.

From the angles provided, I like the last hat best. Good call on going with Akubra.

Thanks! I love the Cattleman, and the Coober Pedy feels really good to wear.

Here's a real hat mystery. I obtained two new Stetson Saxons to add to my 1950's style hat collection. The first was ordered from JJ Hat Center in Midnight (Navy). The second was ordered from DelMonico Hatter in Cordova (Dark Brown). The strange part is that while both of these hats are Stetson Saxons, they shipped with completely different hat bands.
The Navy Saxon has a 1 1/8" black band without the Stetson pin (the feather is mine, one was not included). The Cordova Saxon has the as-advertised 1 3/4" brown band with the Stetson pin and feather.
Each of these hats has an identical center crease and an underwelted 2" brim.
Both hats have Stetson liners with Royal Quality branding, so I'm sure that I was shipped the same hat twice.
Here's the sticker from the Navy Saxon. Still, the mismatched hat bands is perplexing.

Knox Premier arrived today and looks much better than expected -- basically new condition with the exception of some wrinkles in the ribbon. It's a beautiful, lightweight hat. Also the first Long Oval I've ever tried on and it fits beautifully. At some point I'll probably revert to my usual brim-down diamond-bash, but for a long time I've wanted to try doing a kind of FDR bash and this seemed like the perfect hat for it. Hard to tell in the photos but the ribbon is a beautiful dark green. One of my new favorites.
