Balmy 100+F on the river today. We went through a lot of water. Sunbody palm leaf hats will hold quart (in my 71/2 size with a 7" brim) of water for a while in that kind of heat. No better hat to keep you cool on these kind of days.

Just arrived. I had the steamer warming up to reshape this hat when daughter dropped by for a visit and she said she liked this hat as it is because it made me look like a cowboy. Any hat that any of the women in my life like are keepers just the way they are.

Resistol 3X Beaver Hi Sierra (reshaped) in cordova.
Great crease and great colour on that one, Brent.

The horsehair band was still damp so I removed it so not to risk any color bleeding on either the ribbon or felt. Getting ready to tie on a bandana earlier to run errands with my Ritch Rand all natural beaver Tom Mix.
A fine western and worn as it should be. Looking good, HJ.

Another day done. Another 2 dollars out of pocket! Just dropped to 85F at 8:30PM. Dang near chilly for here in August. So I broke out a Beaver hat for show and tell tonight before the sun went down

Mighty nice, Jack. The wide ribbon really compliments that style. A classic look. Even more with the horse hair, I'd imagine.

It's a Caddy....looks like a big 16 cylinder, no less.

Only thing left of my Dad's V-16 "stuff". From what I can find out it is a hubcap emblem from '30-'31. Might use it as a hat pin (to keep it on topic) -- maybe even in the position shown. Not sure what the "Cadillac" name badge is off of. He had a couple '38s (a V-16 and V-8) and several '41 V-8s in a variety of body styles.

The split bumper made me think earlier but I went with 1930-1935 because that was kind of the last gasp of the Phaeton era, the peak of the suicide doors, & because of the wire wheels. If the spare tire/continental kit wasn't gone from the running board it might tell us more.

It is a late 1920's Packard.

Kind of looks like a Goddess of Speed hood ornament for a Packard.

Went back and found the source of the photo again. They list it as a '29 Packard Deluxe.

That sounds about right.
