HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.

I ask Duck in another thread if he would post a pic of the pin that is on
his O R.
So, how about it everyone, what about posting some pics of pins that either came on your fedoras or that you have added yourself.

Louisiana Kingfish

By http://www.thomasmann.com/ of New Orleans.


This is on a 60's Borsalino Stingy Brim

 

[Zemke Fan]

Love those Thomas Mann pins...

Here are a couple others that might look cool on lids...

I can see this one on the midnight blue porkpie that Art's promised me for $6...

Reminds me of Cafe du Monde...

And the Kingfish himself...

Would have posted the shameless dog, but...

PS: Hey, Weegee! Your photo's backwards, dude!

 

[WEEGEE]

Backwards

Zemke Fan,


Backwards, yes... its the photobooth camera on my

MacBook. (miror image)

 

[Dixon Cannon]

Some more from Thomas Mann

Musical Notes ($40-$60, 1.5 in.)...

I like the 1/8 note (second from top on right)

 

[DOUGLAS]

This is a Stetson 50. It has the same pin as Duck's new Stetson 25

I hope his is softer than mine.

[Dinerman]

Hey Dinerman, is that Reddy Kilowatt?
How cool is that!!!!!:eusa_clap

yeah, I picked Reddy up in an antique store for 50 cents, and popped him on my hat. he's pretty tiny, but lots of people notice him.

How do you think they cast this pin?

Here's the one from my NOS Stevens Rod and Gun:

Here is a pin I ran across and have placed on my thin ribboned Penneys Marathon.
I think it keeps with the horse racing theme of Seabiscuit.

Those are some great looking pins!

 

[Duck]

My pin on my OR

The pin on my OR 25 is just like the one on Dougals' hat, except mine is black.

DC 3 pin on my Stratoliner

Resistol 737 Kitten Finish Original pin

 

[RBH]

Great pins Bud!!! That isnt all the pins you have is it?

I just cant seem to take closeups that turn out as clear as yours.[huh]

 

[Hamandbacon]

Do these pins have the button-style clasp?

I love these hat pins, guys!!!!

I would like to know how they mount up. One of the DC-3s, has a horizontal pin-type clasp that makes that style a good choice, but some of the others seem to have a post pin with a button or squeeze clasp. (hope I am using the correct terms here)

I have an Akubra with a thin leather band I would like to put a pin on it, but the clasp would seem to be a problem cutting into the side of my head???:eusa_doh:

Any ideas here? Did I miss something?

Thanks, I have seen several on here that I would like to have. Douglas cowboy pin would be a welcome addition. I have one in route now, that should be a kick. I have a few others, I will take photos as I can and add to the thread.
