I'm really very pleased with my new acquisition:

Rockel velour "Chamois"
Custom made
Charcoal grey with lighter grey ribbon

Mike,

Great hat! I especially like the sweatband. I'm assuming that is ostrich skin. How does it feel on your forehead?

Thanks Mike, it is ostrich and it feels the same to me as a smooth one but I've been accused of having a thick head and no feelings. Imagine it would help ventilate a bit better but it's too cold around here to find out now.

Thanks Tom, hato, and Rob for the comments. Bob's hats are amazing!

BR, congrats on your new VS, Blue Smoke is a great color!

Che, Manfred, and Mike; Thank you for your nice comments. I've got a number of Art's hats, but I believe that this one has the softest feel. I'm going to really enjoy this hat.

Thank you for the notes! Mike, I have but one of these. I am really a home body by nature. The only other Dunlap I own is the half fur/half straw duplex posted earlier this year.

Collins & Fairbanks silk plush top hat c.1920s

Trying to catch up with a few hats purchased over the last month. Here is a silk top hat in almost original condition.

Alan, that Dunlap is gorgeous. What a stunner, not to mention the most perfect diamond crease I've ever seen.

The topper is another winner! I'm fixated on the sweatband texture. Very cool.
