Wow @splintercellsz !! You need to pace yourself -- this is all too much for us to absorb. I really love the brim curl on the No.1!!

Idle hands are a devils playground. I agree, the curl reminds me of my 30s kettle finish. Love it for sure.

Also, if anyone ever sees me post something and they want dimensions and more photos to see if it can be replicated by a hatter, feel free to message me. I'm all about it!

Grrrrr. So much for saving up for another hat. At $50 a tire, my new hat is going to have to wait a little longer. I am trying to decide if I want the Akubra Cattleman or the Leisure Time. Color will be in Graphite Grey as soon as I decide and get over this little setback. Too many expensive hobbies.

Well with those gator skins, you won't need to buy tires anytime soon!

Circumstances favored me as today the welterweight, wider-brimmed Leon Drexler Stroller that I was waiting for came in the mail today.

The felt with a combined Angora finish and Welterweight crown, white gold silk 'galloon edge' and aqua silk ribbon. The brim is 2 1/2 inches wide, which is 1/4" wider than the standard for a Stroller.

The trim colors on this hat are bolder than my usual dour palette, but that is very much by design. The welterweight crown is very light, which when coupled with its open-weave linen liner should make it a fair warmer-weather hat. (The Angora finish slightly defeats that, I suppose, but I have my reasons)

(N.b. There are fine droplets of water on the hat in these pictures because I had been steaming it to work out an impression in the 'fur' of the angora finish by the packaging)

From more-or-less a three quarters angle. (Full size here)

From the front. (Full size here)

From the left side, displaying what Stephen Temkin (the hatter) describes as a, "stubby bow," and includes on his Skyliner model. (Full size here)

From behind. (Full size here)

From the right side. (Full size here)

From above. (Full size here)

From below, featuring the linen liner and hints of the perforated sweatband. (Full size here)

Now I need to mix up an Old Pal and settle in for the evening, because I have a 10:05 train to catch tomorrow.

I know what I'll be wearing.

Real nice! Everything about that hat looks good. Enjoy.

Hückel (Weilheim) "Chamois", 57cm, probably mid to late 1950s. Fantastic felt color / finish and easily dry creases. Great form and as usual very fine dressing work. The feather came with it and matches nicely with the felt color.

Awesome!

That's the plan, Dlaniger. I can usually push a set of tires to the 2000-2500 mile range if I rotate them every 500 or so. The last pair had 2600 on them, but they were starting to get too square and thin. Now I can ride more to keep.me sane while saving up for a new hat.

J. Hückel´s Söhne Wien "Eureka - Plume", French Point 5 1/4, 117 grams, probably early 1900s. I have never come across a "Eureka" before. The form of this Stiff Felt is really great. The black liner and gold embossing is especially striking. Same with the stylized "Eureka" on the sweatband. Also notice the 1/4 French French Point Size so 5 1/4 would equal 57.5 cm. French Point Sizing was in 1/4 intervals up to WWII. I have only come across Stiff Felts in French Point 1/4 sizes. A Hat Satchel was included but not original to the hat (Kötzschenbroda is nearby Dresden).

Here is an OR (I think) I picked up yesterday......more under the "Open Road Guild". Old 3Xer.........With it was an awesome Stetson Flagship in great unused condition....just a bit squished from poor storage but really really nice. .did not pick it up as it was a size 7. Would just be a wall hanger for me......but may go back and pick it up just to have one.......OR is a large 7 3/8......ALMOST fits.....perhaps a slight stretching is in order.......it is such a great clean hat with an unusual crown treatment (for an OR) that I really want to wear it!
Cheers,
M

Cool lookin hat. Get it.

This was in the mail today. A Champ Featherweight with taupe felt, Kashmir Finish and in excellent condition. I'm pleased as punch!

The felt is noticeably finer than my other Champ... and lighter, too, so it's not just advertising jibber jabber when they say Featherweight and Kashmir Finish!

Cool 3X.

Depending on what they're asking for the Flagship, you could probably turn it over and make a buck.
