Very interesting. Too big for me, but maybe Brent? Trying to get some hats back on the front page of the classified section. Maybe we should just call it the Leather Fetish Page?
Art Fawcett will be missed in our community for sure, but he deserves a restful retirement. This Dualist is super sweet Jonesy. The light colors are such a great choice. I always loved his name for this type of duplex.
This is another fantastic, interesting hat Stefan. l love the liner...
Day 9 of 31 Hat Parade: Since it was 85 degrees here in the Pacific Northwest today, I wore a custom Lt. Blue and Cuenca weave Straw from Mike Miller of Northwest Hats. I commissioned this bespoke hat to pay homage to the popular style of duplex, half felt, half straw, of the 1930s. To find an...
Day 8 of 31 Hat Parade: The Black Homburg. It is hard to pick one to highlight, I have so many (too many?), I blame Stefan! Another German made Homburg sold in one of the large department stores in Europe, Lodenfrey. Large stores could have their name printed in the liner and sweat bands so it...
Another interesting one Stefan. That brim looks wafer thin. Great lines and color.
Oh no! I hope you are not limping for long. The hat looks great too!
Wow! That is one interesting Borso Steve. Is it a heavy dress weight felt? That stitching really stands out.
I know the days are all...
Another Facebook post with some basic information:
Day 7 of 31 Parade of Hats. No trip through Europe would be complete without an English Bowler! I have a couple, but this Dunn & Co. in a nice gray is of note. Probably made in the 1960s, this Bowler has the classic lines of a fine men's hat...
Great looking Mallory Michael. I missed out on TAR again, I'll do better next week.
Love your crowns Perry. This one is really special.
I like your style young man! Great looking jacket and finish on that lid. Impressive!
Do what you gotta do to get through Max. I should have such...
Continuing a hat parade each day of May on other hat groups. Also including them on my regular Facebook feed. Forgive the repetitive/basic information, I am endeavoring to educate, not bloviate.
Day 6 of 31: Staying in Europe, we travel to Helsinki Finland where this Hückel Special was...
You look great in this Western Brent. I wish I could pull this look off. It suits you so well.
Two perfect Stetsons Eric. Love the vents in the Bantam.
Great name for a hat! Elekron! Sounds like a superhero, of which you are Steve.
Day 5 of 31 Hat Parade. Today we travel to Italy for one of my finest Borsalino hats. I won't be wearing this one while working on the Koi pond, so images are from the archives. This 1950s Bismuto (gray) Borsalino Homburg is in "Qualia Extra Superiore". The fine lines and felt of this dress hat...
No reason to look like a schlub while flipping burgers. Great lines on that VS. I need a hat in whiskey, love that tone. I think my mom's couch had that fabric!
So much to love about this Mayser Stefan. The contrasting binding, that wonderful liner, and a great finish. Hitting it out of...
Going out to the grocery store has become such an event that I dress in a suit and my best hat to go into the wasteland. The kid at Safeway looks for my outfits. He was confused when I went in there in jeans and a t-shirt the other day!
Day 4 of 31 hat parade. Keeping with a European theme, I take us to the British Isles. This Penn Craft from the early 1960s is an example of what hat collectors call a "stingy". Hats with brims less than 2" became very popular during this era. Think Mad Men or the Rat Pack! The Penn Craft brand...
Day 3 of 31: Beginning a series of European hats for a week. I have more than that so I'll have to be selective. Today is a German Homburg made by Mayser Milz. It is a very dark navy blue, almost black. The finish is not quite velour, feels soft and supple. The Homburg is a style that will...
