Post New Hats Here!

[Knotten]

I finally joined the Fed IV club today when the mail came. Stuck a quick diamond bash in it. It's an Imperial model, but the felt is fairly soft - softer than my CD - and is a joy to shape. I really like this hat. At these prices, I may get more soon.

I think the brim width and crown height of the Fed IV suit you very well!

Thanks, Zombie!

Picked up this Denbury fedora early this month, and am very glad that I found it. It was originally sold by Foreman & Clark, and its color most closely matches the second photograph

 

[Frunobulax]

That's a knockout, Widebrim. Good get!

View attachment 42341 View attachment 42342 View attachment 42343 View attachment 42344 My first custom hat (but not last) from Rand's Custom Hats in Billings, MT. It is a 20X beaver, western fedora in smoke, with a 3 1/4 inch brim and 5 3/4 inch crown. Wow, what a difference getting my head measured with a conformature makes, it fits perfectly. I never realized how good a hat could fit until I put this baby on my noggin. (Of course, being an extra extra long oval might have something to do about it)
I'll definitely be ordering more from Rich Rand. If you are ever in Billings Mt, I recommend you stop by Rich Rand's place, he is one heck of a hat maker and an all around nice guy.

That really does look great on you. I just got my Fed IV for Christmas, and I'm finding lots of excuses to wear it. These are amazingly comfortable hats.

I occasionally stumble upon a hat that (almost) leads me to simply throw up my hands and say "that's it! I am done." This one that came into my hands this past week is one of those. I have a "thing" for homburgs and this one simply takes my breath away (that I paid less than $40 for it helps ). The color and form... well... in my eye, they are just about perfect.

It is a Crofut & Knapp homburg that was sold through the Finchley Establishment. From what I read, that was a high end clothier headquartered in Chicago that existed from 1915 to 1963.

It fits a little snuggly so I am working to VERY gently stretch it. I intend to then put it on my head and remove it only to sleep and shower.

Happy hatting!
Edit - here are a couple pics with a pinch, too.

I wish I could wear mine to work. I have found a ton of those ties and I love em. I do wear some of them to church when I can.

That's about the only time I wear them either, Roger, and these days with a squirming 2 year old on my lap, I haven't even been wearing them then.

Thanks for the props Charlie!!


Here's another Dobbs I scooped up. Sadly, though, the sweat is in terrible shape and falling apart. I guess for what I gave for it, I would still come out good to get it replaced. The rest of the hat is in decent shape.
Anybody out there got any reccomendations?

Original price of $20. I don't have much idea of the age of this one, but I imagine it's been awhile since a new Dobbs milan was going for that.

With the registration symbol and at that price, it would have been 1978-1982, or thereabouts.

Thanks! The colors of the band definitely have the feel of that era.

Who else got the pac-man fever right now?
