    I probably won't keep this one, but I couldnt resist the opportunity to see how one of these looks on me. Labeled as depression era which I'm inclined to believe, cool pattern on this one.

    1900's Green Bowler

    I figured that might be the case, only I thought it might have originally been a brown one. Either way, the color its taken on now is really nice, not too mention that delightful tall crown and swoopy brim.

    1900's Green Bowler

    I've never done a complete one myself, i've just done the occasional stitch or two on a loose one. A full replacement would require a bit of skill to put it lightly, if you have the sewing aptitude, the link below has instructions on how to do it yourself. If not i'm sure theres a hatmaker who'd...

    It's a 7 1/8. After trying on the Knox Homburg it became pretty readily apparent that while i'm a 7 1/8 for a Bowler, in a soft felt hat i'm an even 7. I'll give it a shot, but the Knox already ends up resting a bit more on my ears than i'd like at times. But I put up with it cause I love that...

    Stetson Royal Deluxe Vita-felt I already know this one will be a bit too big for me, so i'll more than likely put it on the classifieds. But I couldnt pass up a chance to see the difference in felt quality between the Vitafelt and the Knox in Black Cherry I have.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Sweet looking hats worn by all today. SBG great pictures as usual, its always nice to be able to get a sense of the true color of a hat when you have such a natural contrast available. Chepstow, I wish I could wear a Homburg with as much authority as you pull off. Splinter, one of my all...

    Modern fur felt Bowlers

    Patey Hunting Bowler. This ones an odd bird. I changed out the ribbon because it had a slight discoloration and because along with the brim bindings appears to be made out of the same material they use for straps on backpacks. Bottom of the brim is a different material, it looks like the...

    Modern fur felt Bowlers

    The hunting and dressage bowlers have their purpose, but I agree that it makes no sense to have a city bowler with the same features. My Stetson standard is my lightest and by far most comfortable for a full days wear. I havent had a chance to feel the weight of one of the superlight melones but...

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Yea its unfortunate that while manufacturing exhibited a far higher level of standard of quality in earlier times, accuracy in advertising however I guess will forever remain unchanged.

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    So far the lightest bowler I have has been 130 grams. I think you're correct on american makers not being able to get theirs much lighter than that. I did see an interesting article concerning Woodrow bowlers advertising a 3oz model. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/84200717

    Them fedoras are a beaut Mr. Durand. Thats a diamond in the rough Justin, that looks like it'll clean up nice. I almost sent you a link to those velours Mayser, but I figured you were already well appraised of the situation.
