I had assumed that the "Coast to Coast" meant their sales area lol
My liner is the only thing not perfect in that it had the oilskin and that has broken down. No plastic cover on this one and mine is actually tan coloured or does the picture just show yours more grey than it really is?
Washing the liner is the only major task on this and I am scared that I might ruin it:eusa_doh:

Did you see my thread about fixing the whippet?
The liner of my this hat was stained by a sweat mark!. Granted it was already detached but just remove it and lightly wash it with woolite in lukewarm water. They let it air dry. don't twist it or anything because it'll wrinkle. Just let it sit and the sew it back when dry!

I have the liner out, it had been glued.
I haven't seen that thread on the whippet but I'll look for it[huh]

Yeah, I think the model is coast to coast. 50s probably...not 100% sure though. Ask Jimmy, or Dinerman, they are the dating gurus!

Looks like the model was around for a while...
6th Apr 1944 - Price $7.50...

My guess is a little later than the ads pictured.

You can see the price tag on mine there, but I think it was probably added at the store in IN (Jones?lol)

Looks great Woody!:eusa_clap

How did you do the re-block so quickly, where did you get the block?
Not really a re-block but I am not sure what else to call it. I have come up with a method of doing a hot block using the oven, kettle and a sizing block.
This hat was basically NOS so there wasn't a lot of work to be done.
