The Dobbs Diner...

[Blare]

I have a Guild Edge Dobbs coming. It looks like it’s a bit of a mess. Maybe sun damage? Worth a try for the $10 entry fee. And it comes with a Dobbs box. The box alone is worth $10.

Looks like it may need a replacement band. Not sure where to get that… View attachment 341816 View attachment 341817

Gives it some nice character.

Hmmm, Cement color, don't think I've seen that before.

Today my Dobb's came in. It's a Dobb's fifteen. Decent hat with a nice grey color called 'zement'. The felt is pretty stiff, but not hard. Anyone with more information about date etc..? And has anyone seen that white stitchin in de hatband before? Is it original or not? ]

Dobbs Twenty. Mid to light grey felt and a purple ribbon. Some light moth damage, but this is a hat that deserves the effort to bring it back to its full glory.

I’ve always liked that color combination.

Super looking Dobbs, Brent. Great colour combos.
We may hate moths, but you've got to hand it to them. They love hats almost as much as we do ;-)

I’ve long wanted both a wide brim Gamebird and a wide brim Rainbow, but this isn’t it. It was erroneously listed as a 1960s hat. After months of watching it I decided to rescue it. 2 5/8” brim and 5 3/4” open crown.

No moth damage and a soft supple sweatband, just too bloody small so off to eBay.

Quite a nice hat

 

[deadlyhandsome]

Quite a nice hat

Thanks, Joe. I’m thinking 1940s or very early 1950s. I’m sure I’ll recoup my money on eBay, but as you know these sizes usually go pretty cheap. This was a rescue.

Going through boxes looking for different felts and this turned up. I remember buying it some time ago but forgot about it.

Don't you just love it when that happens

Nice looking Dobbs' straw, Greg. Remember it next year, if you can't wear it this.

He's in Alabama. He should be able to hold out for a bit.

It is like getting a new hat in and that’s fun but it does make me wonder about cognitive function and that’s not.

He's in Alabama. He should be able to hold out for a bit.

I think Fall is scheduled for after Thanksgiving this year. It should see some head time.

Seems like one to remember. Nice hat Greg

Thanks, Joe.

These size 7 people have all the luck, don't they?
