Touche sir.

J, the hat market is a crazy place. Throughout the years I've been buying hats online, I think I've bought one U S made hat out of Canada and I've never owned a Canadian made hat of any sort. My last two have come from Canada. Two different sellers. One made here and one made there. Both great hats but the one your countrymen made is a hat of the highest order. JMO. I am partial to a 7X CB. Thanks for putting up with me poking at you.

Wow, I've never seen straw mixed with felt like that. That's a surprisingly awesome combination. What does VS stand for? That hat is really cool.

Ah it's all good fun - I'm a man who enjoys good banter and a friendly bit of poking and am often on the dealing end. It's definitely a beautiful lid. Was it from the bay or a secret marketplace only you veterans are privy to? I definitely didn't see it although I have been pretty busy as of late.

Great hat, Jonesy! I like the mild contrast between crown and brim.

Art chose the specs, and I am very pleased.

Mallory Ten, picked up at a massive antique barn in a town of 3500... only real hat in the place, though.

Indoor, poor lighting pics of a Beaver Hats off the bay. Should make a good foul weather hat. Nice, sturdy felt... not as good as my Stratton, but not as cardboard-like as some I've seen over the years. It arrived wonky and dirty but a little brushing and steam brought it into a workable shape.

Thanks DH, I really didn’t know what I was going to get, but I like Art’s sensibilities.

Sometimes, rarely, even some old hat is my size

"Lobbia" Barbisio REX size 59, black felt
View attachment 184449
Sold in Berlin at the Max Eckard store
View attachment 184450
The interest for this Barbisio is the fact that inside the sweat band there is stamped the origin of the skin: Paris - France and a date that I cannot decipher the month and day, but the year is 1939 (for a clear picture I have to use professional equipment)
View attachment 184451
The felt is very soft and silky, in its composition there is fur and also wool
View attachment 184452
These are the dimensions: 5.5 curled brims, 14 cm open crown. the finishes are first class

A eighty years old hat from Sagliano Micca will worth some thrilling in delivery

That is an example of Barbisio at its best, Daniele. Just look at that crown: fabulous.

The United States Post Office delivered the Penman homburg that I had commissioned last summer. A grey homburg like this has been part of my 'hat inventory' scheme since its earliest conceptions in 2008 or 2009, so I'm pleased to at last realize it.

He has a bunch of videos posted on YouTube also

I've watched them all now. I like what he is doing & how he is doing it. I'd like to have a couple of those horsehair duster brushes they make.

 

[Wyldkarma]

Yes, I saw those too. Might have to pick a couple up while I'm there.

New in, reproduction Vintage Whippet. Sold as a Matt Deckard design for the Japanese market.

3 inch brim, 6 inch open crown with pretty soft and pliant felt, though not as fine as my 100% beaver Excellent Quality New York LE.

I like the bold styling, and bound brim.

It only took 21 days but this one finely made it. Dusty and dirty but no real issues. Vacuumed, steamed, sponged and brushed it opened up to a 6" crown with a 3" brim. Simple 3 cord ribbon with short tailing ends. I tried to show the brim edge where, to me, this brim was trimmed with scissors and not one of @humanshoes rounding jacks. Every couple of inches there is a slight scallop to the edge. I thought I was seeing things while I was ironing it out but I called on the kid for assistance and she agreed it was wavy gravy. Makes me like it even more . Slight evidence left of a cellophane tip protector with the wine colored liner. No price visible on the small white sales tag but the printed words "ceiling price" are visible at the top of it. Now to shape it. More info in the Rolnick thread.

Love it!! Congrats Greg.

Simple is simply the best, Part II.

New to me Dobbs Cross Country. Unlined, shallow teardrop crease, no pinch, super light weight, brown on brown. I would compare the felt to my 50's OR and Strat, it is really amazing and so light I hardly know I have it on.
