What hat are you waiting for today?

[MikeinRome]

Dobbs Golden Coach Fifty. Brim said to be
2 5/8 inches. The sweatband says the brim has a Guild Edge version of a Cavanagh type edge, but the brim is bound, so I don't know if the sweatband is wrong or if there's binding on top of the Guild Edge. Brad Bowers says Golden Coach began in 1962, so I suspect this hat dates not long after that. Some would call this a Dobbs Fifty Western, but this hat doesn't say Western on the sweatband, although it's basically the very same as a Western.

Another size 7 1/4 newsboy. Was supposed to come as a bundle but the other one sold as the seller was accepting my offers.

A gift from a friend.

Stetson Number 1 Quality with about a 4 1/2 inch bound brim. Has condition issues and have to send it to be cleaned, etc. Probably some Lounge members were watching this on eBay.

I’ve been hard on a couple of straws this spring/summer, so when these showed up in my size I though I should stock up on the end-of-season deals.

And had them toss this one in as well.

Sometimes a hat you definitely do not need just shows up and has your name on it. In this case, very close to literally. A Julius Garfinckel from the Washington DC store was up on eBay and, even though I did pay more than I wanted to, I am waiting on a fine hat and hatbox with a great name attached. I guess this is how folks named Stetsin must feel looking at hats?

The custom, pure beaver felt Hornskov Diamond is finally on its way. Just in time for felt season, too.

Can't wait.

Thanks, Stefan.

It arrived yesterday, and I must say, it is very nice indeed.

I'll post more in the Hornskov thread later.

Great shape to it and I really like the rust colour. The stitched brim edge is a neat finishing touch; really sets it apart.

Thanks Gary. I saw the Facebook one. I'm not on Insta. The photos capture it well.

Thanks for introducing me to Hornskov

Stetson Number 1 Quality. This is a Boss of the Plains style hat. It has "Stanford 28" on the leather hatband, which I assume is for 1928. I don't need this hat, but mainly bought it to help date Stetsons of this period by Lot Number because the late 20's Lot Numbers are sort of murky and I want to clarify the situation with a hat that's dated.

I like the hat, but I'd guess that leather hatband adds some uncomfortable weight to it.
