Thanks Randy! The sweatbands are a problem, but not insurmountable.

Peaked my interest as well. I think I remember Alan has one similar. Definitely a bit of a historical piece. A time when they started making a felt for hats from plastic out of necessity during the war.. as opposed to the reasons of today.

Plastic was a new wonder material and wasn’t synonymous with cheapness at the time. For the price, I wanted it just to feel it, and maybe display it at some point.

I think you definitely got it right. It’s a nice little piece of history. I’m interested to know your thoughts when you have it in hand.

From the Hat Centre in Stamford Hill. High crown, 3" brim, wind trolley, in navy. First of these I've ordered. If it turns out well, there will be more!

Not a hat YET....but just purchased a beaver/chinchilla blend felt (Millineryi Warehouse/Ukraine felt.) I have a Winchester beaver/mink that I was not all that impressed with so thought I would try an upgrade to chinchilla. Stay tuned.

O’Farrell of Santa Fe pure beaver.
Scott (Kevin O’Farrell’s son and the owner of O’Farrell Hat Co.) at some point dropped the “O’” — or never had it. I had never noticed before. Maybe it was a stage name (?). I see it referenced both ways in web and magazine articles.
This video also lists Kevin as just Farrell.
Maybe Farrell Hats was too close to Feral Cats ...

I’m looking for a fun summer beater and have been eyeing the Stetson Premier Stratoliner for maybe a year now. Even though it’s not as exciting as the vintage hats, I won’t feel like I have to baby it.
It’s been on offer at Walmart for $160 with free shipping and I don’t know if that’s some kind of scam (a Walmart hat??) but they only had three left when I landed on the page yesterday so I went for it.
I am now officially three months in the red of my hat budget. If this keeps up, I’m gonna have to start selling organs.

Now that is a fluffy Sportsman, Stefan. Like you, I'm looking forward to seeing the size of this Panizza.
