[philosophy101]

Amazing choice of ribbon color to compliment the color of the hat body. Beautiful!

GREAT to see all the lids over the weekend! An excellent display, fellas!

Monday morning MALOOF. Old stock hat hoods in colors no longer readily available, and Art has an inventory ready for pickin'!

Thank you
It means a lot to me since it is a hat body I bought. My first custom hat, the first hat "made" by myself.

That's exactly the decent and cool way to wear, which you can often see here in Germany.

A rather wonderful thrift store find yesterday afternoon changed my plans for my hat wardrobe today. I had some time to kill between my youngest daughter's elementary school graduation and the rest of the work day, so I decided to get the oil changed and visit some thrift shops while I waited for the work to be done.

This beauty called to me as I rounded the corner into the stall:

Flipping it over revealed this:

And this:

The chocolate brown felt is extremely dense and is wrapped with a 2 1/4" darker brown ribbon. It still has the price stickers under the sweat:

I'm not sure who John P. Avery is, but his name is stamped in gold script on the sweat. I just know that he took VERY good care of his hat.

The 5 1/2" crown preferred to stay a center dent, but a little steam encouraged a more flattering crease for me. Tall crowns just don't look right on me.

I found a couple of other nice ones as well, but I now need to decide which ones in my collection will need to move on in order to make room for them. I hate to say it, but I might just have to many hats right now, and I can't afford a bigger house to store them.

Thank you, but all I did was slap it on my head.

Nice find, S4C!

@strapped-4-cache

I think, you really got a touch of that 30's/40's-charisma. Private eye, like Dixon Hill or similar!

That's the german kind of understatement, you know, what I mean? .

S-4-C that's a VERY nice find!! Congrats on the good luck. You are on a roll lately.

Great find, Strapped. Those Cavanaghs have such great felts. And you don't need to buy a new house, just put on an extension

We have a summer reading campaign going on at our school. I was chosen to advertise for it. Here are a few of the pics with my 40's Marathon. Notice they kept my face out of it. Good strategy. Stuff like this is why I don't ever have enough time in the day to keep up with all the incredible hats you guys have.

Those are great pics, MB! Suitable for framing.

You wrote the book on that one, MiamiBruno. Excellent!

Working-man get-up. Denim work cap by Keith. It's a repeat from a few weeks ago, but I'm really liking it!

Just incredible lids! MiamiB you own that look with the book!

Readying for the long weekend, pulled out a favorite Panama from PHD, but finished by Vince Corvelli in Maryland.
