Stetson Whippet 7 3/8 LO

[Lefty]

You know what it is, and you know that it's on that short list of hats you've got to own. The Strat, OR, Playboy, and Whippet are icons (at least among hat nerds) and are usually pretty hard to find in larger sizes. Plus, if you're a long-oval, you know how hard it is to get that proper fit.

Well, here's your chance.

There are no nibbles or any other problems with the felt. The sweat is supple and can be easily turned out. This is a pretty fantastic hat.

Here are some measurements, all taken to the best of my meager ability.

Brim: 2 1/4 to 2 5/16
Crown: just over 6" open
Binding: 3/8"
Ribbon: 1 13/16

$260 + actual shipping to wherever you are

What is the length and width of opening?

 

[Lefty]

8 1/4 x a hair under 6 1/2 (maybe 6 7/16)

That's including a tip, of course.

7 1/2 and you might've had me!

Is there plastic covering the logo on the lining?

 

[Lefty]

Yes. This is the quintessential 50s hat.

Thanks! Since I live in Seattle I'm looking forward to taking this hat back to Bernie Utz to show it off.
