The Dobbs Diner...

[Asmo]

Last night I had one (or three) too many, stumbled in here, misread a post, and behaved poorly. I apologize.

My hat is off to you, Asmo! Who among us hasn't been there?! Now very funny at this point, my friend. :grouphug: :cheers1:

No offense taken Asmo. I certainly have my moods as well.

Dobbs Explorer

If you could post photos of the hat exterior and interior, that should provide the answer. There is a contemporary Dobbs hat called the Explorer - I am not familiar with a vintage hat of the same name.

Unless the sweat band has been changed out i don't see how it could be older than 1987 since that is when Hats Plus started business. Of course i have figured that out since i bought it. :eusa_doh:
The hat was listed as vintage from the 1960s.

But would like your opinions. Thanks

Regardless of age, it's a darn nice looking hat!

It is a nice looking hat, but i purchased it with the understanding that it was an older hat in nearly mint condition. The seller listed it as vintage from the 1960s. If it is a recent production then i want to return it to the seller for a refund. I am comfortable with the price i paid if it is a 1960s or earlier hat, but if it is a recent production then i may have overpaid. I suspect that it is a recent production based on the Hats Plus logo and from what I have learned on this forum since i purchased it. Bottom line is i thought i was buying an old hat in very good condition which is what i wanted. I was hoping some vintage Dobbs owners on the forum could tell me definitively one way or the other.

Thanks for your help

I think that the question about the sweatband is the key.If its original,then the hat is 80s or later.

It is a modern hat.

I'm amazed at the fur quality of my Dobbs Twenty. It blows both of my Stetson Twenties (Sovereign, 3x) out of the water. It's crazy.

I've had the same experience,clintfisher.
