Post New Hats Here!

[Boomerang]

I've had this new black Bogart from Hufvud for a week, but the rainy weather put this post on hold. This is my 4th Hufvud, and I really like Mikael's new liner. Terrific addition to my small collection.

I actually got this Hufvud Cagney (whiskey, is the color) last December, but I never got around to posting it. And the hat still feels new to me, so here goes. I like the red brim-binding on this one, and the subtle extra flair it gives the hat.

Two very nice examples of Mikael's skills. Good looking hats!

Arrived last week but I only took pictures of it yesterday.

Borsalino extra Lusso fedora in black. Size 56 with the raw edge brim at 7cm and the crown at 10,5 cm at the center dent. Bit of an oddity this one. No label behind the unreeded sweatband and the liner is not a Borsalino liner, so I'm thinking it is a replacement. Still sewn in, so an early replacement. The size label on the sweatband is the same as the ones we find on the earlier Borsalinos separates from the main label. The Borsalino logo is the smaller one we also see sometimes on earlier Borsalinos. The has me thinking this is likely from the late thirties or early forties.

Not a new hat but a repurposed old beater Stetson Roadrunner. This version will see time on the river for the rest of the summer. I’m still trying to find (or create) the perfect summer fly fishing hat and this one, I hope, is moving in the right direction.

Features include:
- custom fur felt hat band for holding flies
- vented crown in a fishing style
- 3 1/4” brim for sun protection
- anti-reflective brim underside (for reading water and sighting fish)
- trout hat pin
- Bryantcote finish that provides some protection against inevitable dump in the river

Here are the before pics:

My first Morreton. Morreton "Cocktail softline imperméable". Great felt on this one. Also have to stretch it a bit to perfect fit. Nice french hat this is.

Beautiful hat you got yourself !! I ordered a Bogart Fedora from Mikael this morning and I'm curious about the crown on this hat...is it easily shaped by hand or is it "molded" that way from Hufvud ? Not that I want to change the bash...just curious is all.

I sent Mikael at Hufvud a message to ask him and he replied that the crown shape was set with steam and would require steam to reshape. Just thought I would post his reply.

A long hair Stetson 3X ME. I don't think I'll be wearing this until at least the Fall,

Thanks for the compliment on the black Bogart I obtained from Mikael! My gray 50x beaver Bogart allowed me to deepen the side dents without moisture, but my whiskey rabbit/hare Cagney required a light spritz of distilled water to do the same thing.

Arrived just now:
Pilgrim "Westerner" (not sure if name for just this hat or their whole western line)
4 5/8 at the pinch, 3 1/2 brim.
Nice dark taupe with contrast binding and 3 cord. Hard to get the color right in the photo as usual.
From Fellow Lounger Scott of "Fine Vintage Fedoras".
VERY PLEASED.

Found a little Stetson Roadster B in walnut for a "I couldnt help myself" price LOL . (Hadnt heard of this model till I started looking up) Looks basically new with original box. Royal Deluxe from 2015. Should be a nice little knock around hat. Nice smooth feel with a little body, but still comfortably soft. Kind of an "indy-ish" vibe. Bound 2 1/2" brim. Leather hatbands a bit loose but its most likely coming off for maybe a 1" ribbon replacement anyway. Time for a little bit of brushing and steaming

Love the smooth curve of a bound brim. And I definitely agree on the Indie-ish vibe. On this hat it works well. Nice find!

As we say here in East Texas, It was too hot to fish today, so I went ahead and pulled out my ribbon box and just stayed under the cover of air conditioning till I had a nice 1- 1/2" grosgrain ribbon and bow whipped up.

Not sure why that little leather hatband was loose because it had a solid bead of glue underneath all the way around. Ive made head gaskets on engines with less adhesive. I may be doing some glue spot remediation for a while ( a few little spots peeking out from under the ribbon... thanks to 2015 stetson staff on that one lol.) But its all done and sewn in...looks way better than the skinny 1/4" leather band it came with. May get its first public run to the coffee shop in the morning before it gets too warm. Just need to finish up a tad bit of steaming and shaping tonight

There was just something didnt look quite right the way last nights ribbon was sitting (think I had it a bit too snug).

SO ...got up early and removed it. Thought Id try somethng a bit different and try some khaki I had... I kinda like it. Totally changes the look with a lighter color. Ive also got a slightly darker taupe I may try while Im at it. ( just wrapped a piece around to show the color)

May very well end up going back to a dark brown. before Im through, but Ill make my decision BEFORE sewing it on this time lol.. Is there such a thing as too many choices?

I might try too

Brand new Ponte. Got a lot of compliments for it at work.

They all look good. But I do really like the dark taupe on there.
