^ That hat looks great! When Johnny first posted those it was on my list of must haves. Then the more I looked at it the less sure I was. Now I wish I would have bid on one of 'em. :eusa_doh:

So that went to you Jimmy! Good score on that one.

And all the Whippet entries are making me Green (Gene) With Envy!

*Sigh* Thanks guys, now I need to go find a green hat to supplement my brown, black, tan and blue ones. It never ends does it?

Now I wish I would have bid on one of 'em.

Bidding does not equal winning. Trust me on this.

Oh I know! But I didn't even try! :rage:

True, there is something to be said for the pursuit, struggling mightily in the arena and all that. Personally I'm a bigger fan of opening that big box and putting a snazzy new hat on my head! But I guess I'm not alone in that as this entire forum's existence attests.

Here's the last of my green lids, just in from johnnyphi -- a Royal Stetson in a gorgeous shade of green. The felt and the ribbon change color depending on the lighting:

Jimmy, that is one gorgeous hat. I think it is my favorite of your green lids.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Late to the party

Just found this thread - love the green hats, especially that Whippet. For those of you out there like me with big noggins, who have little chance of ever finding a vintage lid your size (much less a green one), the Stetson Chatham in Sage green is a nice option. I find the felt to be quite buttery - the crown is a little stiff out of the box, but softens with time. Someday I may even steam a diamond bash into the crown following Gene's example.

I had a forest green Tyrolean hat(with feathers naturally) a few years ago. Sadly it was exposed to too much "wetness" and shrunk, so I gave it to a friend who wears a smaller size.

This is a Great Thread.....

I'm glad you started it Jimmy. I can't even compare with you, Gene and the rest of the Fella's, but here's what I have regardless. [huh]

Probably the 2nd Stingiest Lid in my collection, my Lucien de Barbant. (Black Velour Ribbon & Trim)

Richman Brothers.....

Kevin McAndrew.....

Dobbs Loden....that I swapped the cording with a custom ribbon.

 

[bolthead]

I also have this woolie.....

Akubra Airstream

Sovereign....."Olive"

I no longer have this Newsboy, but it sure was a beauty. I think I sold it to Duck if I'm not mistaken?

 

[bolthead]

Do Straws Count?

I have a Berg.....

...and a Dunlap.

I know it looks a bit Brown, it's not a very good pic....but it's a deep Green.

Hey Bolty, great entries - and lots of 'em!

You and Jimmy would be tied for first place if it were up to me.

I got lucky to just get two good greenies a while back and I quit while I was ahead!

You have to use a url that ends in ".jpg". What you give above would work as a link to the hats.

Or simply copy and paste the IMG Code Photobucket provides:

Bolt! That Berg is a great looking lid! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
