Sure thing, Max:
There are photos of the labels/stickers back in the No. 1 thread...a year or two ago?

That’s the right hat for your weather, Reggie. I really like the longer hair finishes, and Biltmore made some great ones.

And also with youFinally got round to joining in the Stingymas festivities by wearing this Borsalino tiglio. Brim is 1.7 inches approx., so stingy indeed.
May the Stinge be with youView attachment 291210 View attachment 291211

Thank you, Brent! I have been looking for a vintage Stetson in that shape for a while.
It is the only one I am pining for right now

Thanks, guys. Yeah, It is warm. I was wearing it while shoveling snow and had to take it off a couple of times because I started sweating. LOL!

And this midnight blue late 40s Stetson also helps fend off the blues.
Hope everyone is well!

Amazon points occasionally are really useful...

That's a Stetson beauty, Randall. From the colour, to the shape, to the dimensions, it's a winner.

Sorry for being slow, but you didn't buy that in Amazon, did you?

On the 7th Day of StingyMas...
1950s Stetson 3X Beaver Quality - Steel Grey
6 inch open crown - rakish 5 to 4 inch as shaped
1 7/8 Black Grosgrain Ribbon with Boxcar Bow treatment.
2 1/8 brim with 1/8 accented bound edge
The 2 1/8 brim on this 1950s Stetson 3X Beaver Quality may be stingy... but the crown at about 6 inches open certainly is not! With these proportions the crown was looking a bit stovepipe like. It seems whenever I pick this one up I’m working the crown wider and down a bit. It has a cool boxcar bow ribbon treatment. The steel grey felt has some blue tones to it and is a similar feel to my same period whippet.

It's a new modern hat. Bought it on Amazon Prime, the vendor is DelMonico Hatter. It is always hit or miss what hats are available at a given time (especially when I have built up enough points to get one) but no vintage hats that I have ever seen. There are some new Borsalinos and other makes availble if you search for them.

My vote goes to that one Joe, I love it!
That has a lot of interesting, contradictory complementary features to it, Joe. Short brim contra high crown, box car type back bow bow, the blue in the grey and the grey in the blue. Not to mention the contrasting brim binding, which highlights the whole ensemble. A lot of thought has gone into the design of that Stetson.
A great addition to StingyMas.

Wearing my latest hat project. I completely reworked this Melton. The hat sports a taller straight crown with a 2 5/8 bound snap brim. It's creased in my preferred Teardrop with a tight pinch.
I sewed on a new brim binding with a black 1 1/2 ribbon and bow. I gave the bow a slight upward swoop.
