What hat are you waiting for today?

I don’t normally spend this much on hats not my size but it had to be saved from Dad’s collection.

Cool.. I had snagged some of the photos as a good example of this Twenty Five logo on a 1950s hat. If you have the chance.. when you get it.. could you post it up to the Stetson 25 thread.

Of course.
I like that it’s a three-cord ribbon and not an Open Road. It was so pristine that I just couldn’t let it go. I really hope someone here ends up with it. This may even be a Max @drmaxtejeda worthy hat.

It really is beautiful and in amazing shape.

Just an FWI if anyone is ever looking for a BIG Western hat maker, Lisa from Top Knot hats in SILVER LAKE, OR built me a solid 5.5" brim with a 6" crown on a Winchester 100% beaver blank. Most hat makers will tell you it aint possible. $500 and shipping.

Beautiful and I'm very impressed with the way the brim curve is done.

That's the reason I keep going back for more. Mike gets about as close to the old D'Orsay curl as I've seen.

Very cool! I'm going to have to find one to try on someday. Not sure how I'd look in one but I gotta find out.

Listed (somewhat) locally as an "Amish Hat".

Bon-Ton Ivy sweat band? First patented in 1904, then renewed in 1921.

Steve (@Steve1857) has identified it as possibly pre-WWI.

Gotta love the Ozarks ...

Glad you bought it, Bob. Well worth $10 plus gas money.

Love the weave.

So…is “hat” a euphemism for something else. Dead drop for a “hat?” Sure.
