love the coloursThe unknown Strat clone is almost dry. The ribbon has a few spots showing so I may have to try the white vinegar/distilled water trick. One bug divot to fill & a small surface cut to hide. Tried a quick crease by hand just for pics, didn't take the time to brush out the felt.

You tease!The Chamois homburg finally arrived today. I'll post more when I go back home
I'm thinking c.1910s/early 20s on age.

Wow, what a find! Fantastic piece of history there! I love it!Chamois Homburg
I want to say it is an early hat, c.1910s or so. Has the "fray" markings on the sweat as well as a Stetson lot number.

Oh, I like that!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!

Magnificent Mallory Doug! I like the factory crease, buck the diamond and keep the "C". What is the liner logo like? Is it an Aristocrat? This was a great find, Ebay?This came a little while ago. Surprised I didn't hear a knock at the door. Nicer than the seller's pics conveyed, the felt on this post-Stetson acquisition Mallory is AMAZING. No kidding, I am surprised how nice it is. It's clearly a factory teardrop bash, but a simple touch here and there and it changes so easily. Buttery velvet, truly! A medium grey, I seriously dig this lid!
Yes, Aristocrat Quality. I love it! I got an email from the seller of the Champ Featherweight Kasmir finish hat saying he had another excellent condition hat on ebay... get this, IF I was interested. I was jet lagged beyond belief (may still have a nasty bacteria and/or parasites; go Cipro!), but stumbled onto ebay with 12 or 17 minutes to go and at 8 seconds, dropped a bid and Won! LOL.
That is a seriously sweet chapeau. Im having one made by Peter bros in a similar color. Can't wait for OctoberThis came a little while ago. Surprised I didn't hear a knock at the door.
