That's great, Joe. Congrats!
Lovely! The nap is slightly longer, isn't it?
Nice catch, Joe. A classic looking well made hat: love it.

And since we could get another hat without paying more postage, I ordered a Milan Stratoliner. View attachment 384788 View attachment 384787
A wise move getting that extra hat in, Gary Love the plane on the ribbon.
Etsuko's hats look very stylish indeed.

Very cool. Love the ribbon design with the long hair “Rauh” finish.Hückel Weilheim "Hückel's Clipper" "Melé", 58 cm possibly late 1950s early 1960s. The Felt is a Mix (Melé) with a Rough (Rauh) finish and very soft hand. I have a couple other "Hückel's Clipper" Hats.
Great, Marcel! You are on a roll!Echter Mayser in black.

Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'Great, Marcel! You are on a roll!
Quite beautiful. Congratulations GaryMy Hornskovs arrived yesterday. Etsuko hid the Christmas one away before I got home from work. I’m really happy with the Mogul. My first Hornskov (the wool one) was a 59 and I felt it was just a little tight. My second, a Broker, was 59 1/2 and after wearing it a while, I decided the 59 was actually the better fit (as it should be - my head measures about 58.7) and I’ve put a little padding under the sweat band of the Broker. This time, I went back to size 59, but told him I was a long oval. Bingo! Clearly my best fitting hat - just perfect! The beaver, bunny blend felt is excellent - a little softer than my 100% beaver and beautiful to the touch. And the hatband is grosgrain.
Bring on Christmas!
The head shots are closer to the true colour.

Gawd, I don’t know about that! But thanks anyway, Steve.Gary, you are the perfect model for Hornskov hats. Still can't quite understand why I don't own one. Kick me off the lounge if I still haven't ordered one by this time next year
Gawd, I don’t know about that! But thanks anyway, Steve.
I do love the hats, though and I know if I lived where you do, I’d have been in there getting the fit done in-store and checking out their showroom.
This just arrived. I’m not really a bowler guy, but I couldn’t pass this up at the price. View attachment 385959 View attachment 385960
There are some issues with the reed and the sweat stitching has separated in places, but the sweat itself is pretty soft and pliable. I’ll post more pics in the bowler thread.
That is a pretty bow, and I love the contrasting greys.
Really cool hat
