Post New Hats Here!

Che, your grandkids are models for Hat wear, or they should it be, great looking kids!

Dead-stock, never-worn, still in original box, brown 3X "Fortworth" hat, sold by Gammage's Western Wear in Moultrie, GA. Nothing in the hat or on the box to indicate who made the hat for the store.

Interesting hat. Especially the way they spelled Fort Worth. Does the box say 7 3/4 ?

 

[TPD166]

The writing on the box is hard to read, but it is 7-3/8, the same as the hat is marked in two places (size tag & re-order tag under the sweat). The color is fairly accurate in the pictures, but I cannot figure out what the color written on the box is supposed to be? It is in beautiful shape & the felt is very soft and fairly lightweight. I also thought the "Fortworth" name was interesting, but the crown is not a "Fort Worth" bash.

Congratulations on that unusual score, TPD. You'll retain the crease, I assume? I've seen you wear others, and they suit you.

 

[TPD166]

Thanks. No change to the crease, but I did have to work on the brim for about an hour last night. I had to contend with reshaping 50-60 years of crown-down storage. I was please with how well it flattened out and took the re-shape.

Echter Borsalino, light brown, measures around 59cm, probably late 1950s.

Gorgeous, Steve!

Thank You!

Picked this up on ebay a few nights ago, was advertised as possibly being a Fed III, but ended up being a Fed I. It has a non-dimensional 2.5" brim and a 5" or so crown bashed, 5.5" unbashed. I love this hat!

This is my second Akubra (I have a moonstone fed IV) and I think I've found my kicking around hat!

This was the photo taken from the sale, it has a tight Indiana Jones Pinch and center dent bash

Here I changed the bash to a C-crown to compliment my head a little better, looks a little shorter and more square there

Side view, I may get it re-flanged someday to give it a more dramatic curl in the back, but for now it'll do just dandy.

So I went for a ride with SWMBO today and she talked me into visiting a vintage shop with her. I perused the goods and saw nothing of interest. While she was continuing doing what "they" do, I stepped to the counter to chat up the shopkeeper. Lo and behold, look what she was holding, having just purchased them earlier today, and had not even priced them yet.

Stetson Royal Deluxe, size 7 1/2

Borsalino Allesandria, size 7 3/8

and the bows

The Borso probably needs a little TLC. The sweat stitching is loose in a couple spots and the brim is a little wonky, but nothing that can't be easily remedied.

Great catches Scooter!

 

[randooch]

Great catches Scooter!

or are you still waiting for her prices?

 

[seabass]

Stetson, The Sovereign, mode edge

 

[scooter]

Nope, Randooch, I asked how much, she gave me a price, I said, I'll give you this, she said OK.

Oh yeah, nice Mode edge Sovereign, Seabass!!

 

[DJH]

Cool, Che. I don't recall seeing many thin ribbon hats with a felted edge brim. Looks great!

 

[m0nk]

That mode edge Stetson Sovereign is a great piece!

 

[delectans]

Stetson, The Sovereign, mode edge

Nice one, Che. I am certain it will look even better on your noggin!

 

[Chepstow]

Steve, scooter and Che, great catches, all hats looking sharp! Congrats, gentlemen!

Thanks to all for the kind words, by the way!
