As a Yooper I don't mind the cold winters, in fact, I welcome them. Wish we had more cold and snow. It's good for you, builds character.
Here we are a week later and the snow is all but gone already after having inches of rain this week. (It's actually raining again right now after the...
Sorry for the tardy response, B. Been spending more time over in the Outerwear portion of the forum lately.
They're both great hats but fairly different. My Averla Gorasgu felt is definitely thinner and lighter weight, 100g vs 135g for the Mac . The Gorasgu is more conducive for a sharper...
Only two dimensions shown. P2P was ~22", but there appeared to be some slack so I'm thinking more like 21-21.5". Sleeve was 23.75" measured straight down.
So this is what happens when you're scrolling on your cellphone when at yet another birthday party for one of your kid's schoolmates:
Maybe I'll wear it to the next party.
I don't know about a specific name but you might have some success if you look into law enforcement style jackets.
Given your location you could probably check out Johnson Leathers in San Francisco.
For named models with a wide brim with wide(r) brim binding and wide(r) ribbon you could search for the Stetson Whippet or the Dobbs Hanover Square. Most hats, however, didn't have a model name on the sweatband and/or lining. If you limit yourself to a Whippet or Hanover Square be prepared to...
Been hunkered down for the past week as winter finally decided to show up. Transitioned from rain to sleet to snow to sub-zero temperatures. Air temps -15F with windchills -30F called for the balaclava or seal fur headwear. Today warmed up to a balmy 25F, so I celebrated the heatwave in my...
Maybe check out the What Jacket Are You Wearing Today thread for some inspiration?
@Yamahana is looking like a boss in this recently posted Montgomery Wards that might fit the bill if you're OK with used/vintage:
Half-belts are pretty conservative and would work well for business casual. I think it's interesting that if you look at the old Sears catalogs, however, you'll see plenty of illustrations of aviator and crosszip motorcycle jackets being worn with button down shirt and tie.
As has been mentioned it's a derby hat produced by Stetson and sold at the CC Filson store. Records indicate Filson was at the 1011 First Ave address from 1902-1924. This time frame matches well with details of the hat.
Thanks, Panos! I had a pretty nice hot streak for a couple months this past fall. Been playing catch up ever since. The pace will slow down for hats at least, but I do have several more that I need to document and add.
In addition to hats I was busy buying a bunch of other vintage stuff too...
