The Green Machine

[Daniele Tanto]

Oh!Oh! this is a game for the best green in town.
Both are faboulous!

Daniele, Thank you.

Side note: The brim binding was added to give some extra brim width. The brim had been cut down to under 2 inches. My guess is it was at least 2 1/2 inches. Very sad situation.

Stellar Steve and Alan. Maybe the title of this thread should be "Green with Envy"

Been a long time wanting a green hat. Finally found one. Mid 60s, felted edge, vita-felt Stetson. Looks brown to me in the pic, but its a really deep forest green.

Congrats Dale, my greens seemed to multiply rapidly once I scored my first

That hat's been waiting for you, Dale. What a sweetheart!!!

+1!

My rarely worn Wormser is similar, and has a similar feather but with a bound edge.

Vintage Appleby in olive, my other 2 are current CD in bluegrass and a sage Excellent.




It was a wrinkled mess when I got , the ribbon actually matches the hat but shows up a strange color in the photo.

Dale, that's a sweet hat, i really like that shade of green.

Joey, that olive color looks great, but I see what you mean about the ribbon, it almost looks purple in the photo. I have a hard time getting the actual color to show up in my photos.

My coober pedy in moss green.

Thanks Lt. That's a mighty fine moss color you've got as well.
And JoeyC, that Appleby is a fantastic shade. I'd really like to nab a lighter one along those lines.

Jeff, Charlie, and Mike....many thanks as well guys.

OPS Royal Bantam (*******)

Photos shows gray, but it is far more green.

 

[Rogera]

Very, very nice!

 

[Frunobulax]

I like that alot!

 

[mikespens]

Another spectacular find Vic and no doubt about the dating of it.

 

[RJR]

Very nice.

Lovely color... Is there really no difference between a Bantam and a *******? Just curiuos

 

[alanfgag]

Different as night and knight. Both were mid-ribbon styles, but this Bantam has some ******* chops around the ribbon and the brim edge. A great color, which I'm guessing looks somewhat like this one:

Thanks Alan, Sometimes even the tiniest of differences make enough of a difference! I will continue my search for a Bantam. Yours is a beauty!

I like those hats.

As this isn't by a big name comany, here's a good place to put this one.

John Batterson, Fifth Avenue.

Strong Alpine influence on this one. Soft, velvety feeling green felt, hard to resist petting it like a cat...my guess is 50's on the age.
