Hatbox Homage

[M Hatman]

Here are a few I have been meaning to post.....acquisitions over the past year or more.....

Love the image.....

I guess this belongs here. I bought my Stetson 100 and case years ago and since the case was missing the Lexan insert, I’ve searched for one ever since. That proved fruitless but the complete cases occasionally show up. I assumed all of these Stetson suitcases were the same but this case is considerably larger and has a cushioned roll across the top to hold the hat in place.

Seems to happen a lot. "I swear the eBay ad said the Stetson 7X was new in the box. How was I to know they would ship a MHT 7X?"

I tried searching the thread for this version of a Dobbs box with a beach scene, but didn't see anything. Forgive me if it is a repeat. Not mine ...

And a Biltmore. Again not mine.

Forgot to ad this Langenburg Hat Box....color is fantastic on this one. It had all the insides too.....so i store my "Lion Hats" therein.

Basic Black.....good sturdy box..not sure it is worth the $70 they charge for them.

 

[BobHufford]

Simplicity. Not mine ...

What I'm assuming is a Dobbs Rainbow box. Not mine ...
