I've been wanting to get a Whippet for some time now and I finally found one on OFAS over the weekend at a great price, (I think). I only wish that it were a different color other than gray and maybe a size 7 instead of a 6 7/8. I may have to give it a bit of a stretch. It seems that Stetson's run a tad small for me. I have a Sovereign in a 7 and it fits like a glove. Anyway, here's the link, I'll post pics when it arrives. Whippet

bolthead, You got that beautiful example of a legendary "Whippet" for a grand total of $39.15? You are either loving right, or you have just experienced a mighty big dose of GRACE! Congrats!

Johnnysan is a good old member here who loves Whippets and really knows how to wear them.

I wonder if he is still around.

That is a nice hat . You got it for that price because of the hatsize. If it were a 7 1/4 or bigger , it would have gone for 3 times that price.

Beautiful hat, and you'll grow to like the color. Well worth buying a stretcher and a few weeks of patience while easing it out.

And even notoriously tight-fisted tonyb would gladly pay it.

Looks to have kept its grey colour better than mine, although it is probably my favourite hat.

Yes, you got a good deal. Mine cost me twice that, and I still think I got a bargain.

Good going.
