Good morning Bob,

I like the looks of a Whippet more and more. You know if it was mine I would just wear it some and see what it did. If it didn't start feeling right after a bit then scare it into behaving with a steaming. It may feel like its sitting low but it looks good!

I believe that's Walter Brennan, Deputy. Also starred in "The Real McCoys," if I recollect -- always calling for "Luke!" :D

The Director

The one hat that I regret not buying above all else is Walter Brennan's Borsalino. It sold on ebay many years back. I let it go because it was one size larger than I normally wear. It went for a song....and we call them dumb animals.

I worked on my newest vintage fedora today, a Stetson Whippet. What do you think? It's a tad big, but when I padded it it didn't feel right. Should I steam the sweat a bit to see if that snugs it up?

Before trying steam, I would leave it on the seat of a closed car, for several hours on a hot day. That should bring it down about 1/2 size. :)

Thanks, JT. A half size might just do it.

Thanks, Ken and Rusty. I've been waiting for a Whippet to come along. Couldn't pass this one up.

It's 7 3/8 (59), Cookie. Close!

Here is a pic of his vintage Bond Imperial Ten. He's wearing the first of his two (so far) vintage suits, bought with the hat. The vintage DB suit has an inside label marked "Rowles Mack Co. Good Clothes", the coordinating vintage tie has the label "TOWNCRAFT CRAVATS".

Mrs.C and I are having dinner tonight to celebrate our 11th anniversary. A special occasion calls for a special hat. Mike Moore's The Black works every time.
