    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I won't comment individually on today's selection, but they all look good. As a newcomer to this forum I've spent a bit of time browsing through this thread, and was surprised at how few hats didn't look good on their respective owners. Some were hats I'd never consider wearing myself, but they...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Cold, wet and windy over here - yes that's a wool coat in the middle of May! Just a cheap Christy's Wool bowler - the first bowler I bought, to see whether the style suited me. In some ways having bought it, I wish I'd put the money towards the Devon fur bowler, but this one comes in handy...

    Good luck with the cleaning - it looks god as is from the photo. Nice find.

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    Will do. I've been after a grey homburg for a while, and vintage 61s aren't exactly common.

    That's a wonderful variant!

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    Thank you. A little more googling found Wegener Homburgs in Tails & The Unexpected's end-of-line sale at a price I couldn't resist http://www.tailsandtheunexpected.com/end-of-line-15/homburg-hat-grey.html It looks a nice hat and from this description sounds like it may be made in house. Now...

    German & Austrian Hutmachers

    A great thread with some lovely hats. As someone with a large noggin (61) finding something vintage that doesn't need work seems a rarity, so I wondered what the contemporary Wegener quality was like?

    The Cap Faction

    Great work on those caps.

    Boater faction!

    That's a wonderful collection. I'm still looking for something of the same weight/rigidity as my Olney but with a slightly deeper crown. With my big-head vintage is probably out...

    Classic train movies

    If you can cope with Arthur Askey The Ghost Train is an interesting old British comedy. Not one of Ealing's best but there's The Titfield Thunderbolt. Train of Events is a more obscure Ealing drama and well worth a watch.

    Introduction

    Richard from Kent in the UK. I love caps (mainly 8 piece), bowlers, boaters and am looking to expand my small hat collection. This place is a mine of information.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Watched the Suspicions of Mr Whicher last night - great selection of Victorian hats :-)

    “Return to the Hundred Acre Wood"

    The ending of House at Pooh Corner still brings a tear to my eye.

    Porter beer?

    Meantime of Greenwich do a nice one - no idea whether they export to the US... Shepherd Neame (10 minutes walk from me) do a decent one, though getting it on draft even in winter is tricky.

    Poll - How old...?

    Late 19th Century semi, backing onto the edge of fields. Cosy until you get a North Easterly wind when you realise it's flat fields and marshes until you reach the North Sea...

    Artisanal British clothing?

    I don't know whether these are too 'fashion forward' but all produce heritage inspired goods with production wholly or largely in the UK: http://www.selectism.com/2012/07/18/studio-visit-arn-mercantile-london-a-closer-look/ Tiny company, beautiful garments http://www.cabourn.com/ Not cheap...
