Let's see your mechanical watches
I had a nice vintage Speedmaster because every watch collector “has” to have one. It didn’t get a lot of wear, and I finally sold it. I don’t miss it. My Daytona fills the chrono need, and I may add a Dato Perpetual at some point. Nice collection you have!- MtnBob

Wearing a Day-Date today. I really love the ivory pyramid dial on this one, along with the classic case dimensions.- MtnBob

@M Hatman I like those cases too. Patek Philippe has a line called “Gondolo” which use a similar case style that I really like. Also, the JLC Reverso is a great, classic, rectangular case. It’s also worth checking out Vacheron Constantin’s 1921 cases. A very cool modern watch with classic roots.- MtnBob

That’s a great hat for a sunny or rainy day. How wide is the brim? -

Great Datejust, Eric. If you’re gonna have just one watch, that’s a great way to do it!- MtnBob

Boar bristle brush for hats?
Clean horsehair shoe brush. Cheap, safe, easy to find. -

Ask a question, get an answer
Brand new ORs are stiffer than vintage, and machine-creased. It takes some serious work to eliminate the factory bash and redo. Vintage are easy. I’ve done that on a few. -

New Member to the Hat Forum
Welcome from another new guy! if you’re only doing it for fashion/because you love hats, just pick what looks good to you. I’m not a fan of stingy brims, as I think it eliminates one of the most functional parts of the hat, protecting from sun, rain, snow, etc. Have you considered western... -

Western, anyone?
Had to run some errands today, and the 7X CB got the nod. This is a great, light, fairly compact western. One of my favorites, for sure, and a little darker in color than my ORs, but lighter than my Nutria. The size tag was torn off at some point, but with a smidge of time on a hat jack, it... -

That’s a great hat, and the brim up style suits you well. -

Thanks for this very helpful additional info. So, you’d agree this hat is late 40s or early 50s? -

Thanks for all the kind comments, gents! This was a fortunate find on eBay, where the seller was asking $325, but accepted an offer for less. I am enjoying the hat and definitely feel good about the deal. -

Western, anyone?
Thanks, Bowen! I keep trying to buy boots to be beat ‘em up working boots, and then I just think they’re too nice to get all messed up. I am really hooked on Black Jack boots like I’m getting hooked on vintage western hats. -

Western, anyone?
Thanks, Bob! That’s what I was thinking, but oddly, the liner crest also has the stars. Perhaps there were some transitional hats where the stars crest and plastic liner protectors overlapped? In any case, it’s a very nice hat. I’m enjoying it a bunch. The Open Road and it’s lookalikes are...
