The Bowler or Derby Hat

I don't think I ever posted this Adam Bowler I acquired from Randall:

Very nice, Doug. I wish all bowlers had those pleated liners.

I do love the pleated liners. But I also like my Stetson with the aeration "snowflake" in the crown.

That's gorgeous. I love the ribbon treatment on the sweatband.

Doug, Thank you! This is an older one. Probably WWI era.

Fantastic !

Panos, Thank you!

Side Note: This JHS Stiff Felt has a removable liner and crown tip patch. I probably should have been more clear.

Trying to capture that brown Sepia tone vintage look.

Much love for bowlers lately gents. Trully excellent examples!
I don't have this one anymore in my possession (neither I have better pics of it I am afraid), but I own it to this thread.
Christys' London, hairy in brown

What a wonderful Christys' Bowler, Panos. I hope it wasn't my size

I'll join in Jack's St. Patrick's Day challenge by posting this L'Hiver Bowler with a refurb by Fleur of Penumbra Hats.

This was the best sepia I could get on my phone.

Indeed St. Patty's Day makes for a perfect Derby Day!

The combination of the texture & shade of brown/exposure make for an excellent pic.

Last yr I wore my Derby & carried a Victorian walking cane several times starting around March 1st to a new Irish pub that had just recently opened. I bought a ticket to an Irish Whiskey & Irish Beerfest they were having on Sat 3/14 & was looking to arrive for an early seat at the bar on the 17th. Unfortunately several days before the 14th is when everything was cancelled & we went into lockdown soon after.

I hear you. It's still too risky this year but I have big plans for the Celtic/Irish festivals next spring.

My most recent Woodrow derby.

You would have known first if it was Steve , unfortunately too tight even for me. Luckily it went to a local bowler-only collector! Btw this refurbed wide ribbon L'Hiver bowler is amazing !

@Steve1857

You have the Derby & the jacket. You need a box of Victorian shirt collars.

Must be Steve's grandpa!?
