Post New Hats Here!

[Mr. Paladin]

Found this box and 2 hats, Trimble on left and Marathon on right at one of the malls.

Nice finds, buler!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

I fished this off the bay a few weeks ago. It's a Stetson 25 open road and is the typical greenish gray silverbelly color. It's in very nice shape and easily one of my favorite hats.

Thin ribbons suit you, sir; that one is a great looking hat!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Fritz Hückel Hutmacher Zephyr Seal Velour probably mid to late 50s and out of Weilheim, Bavaria. This doesn't match the amazing velour finishes as pre 1940 Hückels but the overall quality is super high (unfortunately some moth damage). More details in the German - Austrian thread.

mayserwegener, you are really amassing a fine velour collection. Your photos are showing them off very well.

Wade, Thanks! Now I need some cold weather!

Herbert Johnson thinnish ribbon

Beautiful very lightweight finely finished felt. 2-1/2" raw edge brim all around. Sold in Switzerland and sent from France. Perfect condition.

Looks similar to the Mossant De Luxe I sold to Sue. Well done, Robert :eusa_clap

Thanks Garrett. The felt is very much like the two Mossant DeLuxe I have. I don't know if they outsourced bodies at the time.[huh]

 

[Mr. Paladin]

I like the color and ribbon on that HJ, Robert!

Great one! Nice ribbon, too!

Jimmy, I thought you preferred the hats with a tall crown and wide brim[huh]

 

[mayserwegener]

Great one! Nice ribbon, too!

Thanks!

 

[CRH]

Very nice felt, similar to the Cavanagh standard. 2" overwelt brim.

I've got a soft spot for flat tops. Looks great! :eusa_clap

Needs more brim though... I mean... You know what I mean.

 

[mayserwegener]

I think the brim width looks fine. Overall nice fit! :eusa_clap

My first straw panama...

This came in the mail and I ran home at lunch to check it out. Thanks Panama Bob!

My first. I have some fine tuning to do on the brim and I don't really know what I'm doing but anyway...

Very nice!

Great-looking hat! I was torn between the Caballero and the Rio Plata when I was buying mine - I went with the Rio, but based on your hat, I can see I couldn't go wrong either way. It looks very nice as a dress hat.

I can't presume to give advice on the brim, but there are plenty of knowledgable folks here who'll be able to help you.

Cheers!

Your brim looks better than my Rio Plata does out of the box. I'm hoping to get some life into it this week when I have some time to devote to it.

Thanks! I'm very excited to put it to use. I can tell this is going to be a problem. I'm already thinking about my first fur-felt fedora. I have a very addictive personality.

You may be in the wroooooong place, Rodkins. We're no help whatsoever at breaking the hat addiction.

Still, welcome to the Lounge!
