They're all nice Moon, but that Vitafelt Whippet is "the stuff dreams are made of"

Always cool to get a dated hat as well

I'm not so sure about that, but a nice group of hat just the same.

that whippet has my heart indeed .

I wasn't sure either until I was told by 2 different people at 2 different hat shops in NYC ... I was thinking '60s... they suggested otherwise

Put me down as a non-believer.

I couldn't care less really

not in love with the hat in all honesty ... not really my style ... just couldn't leave it for the price

it is probably late 60s as I thought ... but they insisted it was earlier ... I personally do not care in the least

The Knox is Garland, TX-made, not Hat Corporation of America in Norwalk, so it's post-1972. Probably before 1980, guessing from the price.

thank you

now I know exactly who not to trust and what hat shops to not go to

the Knox was cheap

I'm most excited about the 40s Whippet and the '59 Strat

Wow, moon, what a nice haul! I'm with the others, the Vita Felt Whippet is the star of that show. The '59 Strat and the Milan Strat aren't too shabby, either.

thank you Michael

yeah that Whippet was the focal point of my purchase for sure ... and the what sold me on the '59 was the color which is not something I see all that much.... it is kind of a blue/ grey with a touch of a greenish mint tint... very cool ... and the date tag .

that Whippet has probably quickly become the crown jewel of my modest vintage collection ... which only consists of about 7 hats

Nice, moon! Another +1 on the Whippet and Strat! Great haul.

 

[hatsRme]

Very nice *****, Moon!! Will the Vita fit you?

 

[RJR]

Wow,moon,that's a once in a lifetime haul!

thank you for the kind words gentlemen

... and yes the Whippet fits perfectly .... very comfortable piece

it most likely only get wear on special occasions.... or maybe just any random clear dry day

 

[hatophile]

Moon, great finds, especially since you're a larger size. Love the avatar too, Bogie's a legend.

thank you sir

and yes... that man could wear a hat

the crease he is wearing in that pic is one I have been chasing for years.... it's pretty much what became known as the raiders crease.... but Bogie wore it first
