Picked this up from @Jesse John around the first of the year. Life's circumstances and lack of motivation have kept me from posting it. Fine hat. 3 X 5 3/4. It will be left OC

Willoughby Hatter Paris - Consul I
Black Medium Hair - Satin Finish
5 1/2 open crown - Just under 5 as shaped
1 1/4 mid ribbon
1 7/8 brim with rolled overwelt

Came across this Willoughby Consul I and quickly threw in an offer that was accepted by the seller. My first experience with Willoughby… but I had heard great things. This one a dark black velour like medium hair felt which is very soft to the touch and extremely malleable. The black is deep.. but there does seem to be a tiny bit of lighter fibers heathered in here and there. The finish is referred to on the liner as Satin Finish. As soft as it is though it seems to hold shape very well. With its short brim it does seem to prefer this the up brim shape.. but certainly works either way. The size is indicated at 7 1/8 on the manufacturing sticker.. but also has a hand written 7. I’d say it fits closer to 7. The sweat is stitched directly to the felt and has a oil skin liner behind it. Haven’t really any idea on age as there is my first Willoughby hat. Been wearing it the last couple days and enjoying the feel of it.

Really nice hat Joe! I can't decide if it looks better on you with the brim up or down, so I guess the correct answer is "both".

Fabulous hat, Joe. And a very nice find; they're not all that common. The description of the felt is spot on.
