Two very nice hats. I really like the Knox Forty.

What BR said, that Forty is sweet!

Another corker! And from the old Country.

Stetson Real Nutria fur Derby

 

[mayserwegener]

Everything about this one is fantastic!

Everything about this one is fantastic!

I agree... the dimensions are particularly nice and flattering on. Imagine when a picture of a nutria helped to sell a hat.
Rare and beautiful find, Robert.

+2. Very cool, very sharp looking nutria (!) bowler.

I just received this Biltmore Milan in the mail. The auction photos made it seem larger in both crown and brim, and a lighter sage color. Come to think of it, my first photo below also does the same... It seems much smaller and more emerald in person, but I think I like the combination with the brown ribbon. Doesn't appear to have been used ever, and the straw is crunchier than my other Milans. I wonder if it isn't genuine. Definitely does not have the character of the Pennys Marathon I was wearing earlier today (thanks for those comments!) and both of those pale in comparison to my Dobbs. I'll give it a chance and see how it resonates. I'll bet the wifey will appreciate the smaller stature in comparison to my other hats.

noggin:

My Milans for color/quality comparison (L to R: Biltmore, Pennys, Dobbs):

and now with my treasured Target hat that is constructed like a dish rag. There's something I like about its color and specs, though, and one day I'd love to get a "real" version made.

Whiskey Optimo I picked up from Bruce Wayne

 

[Johnny J]

I finally got my first Vtg Stetson Stratoliner in a size 7 3/8! Its like a blue/gray with a 2 5/8 brim. Love the color.

These last two picks shows that its the original box, from Shulman & Co. Norfolk, VA.

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

Great strat and for ten dollars too.

 

[B.J. Hedberg]

Been too busy to pop in lately, but the newest addition to my collection arrived yesterday, a Federation IV in moonstone, so I thought I’d share a pic. Wasn’t sure what I’d think about a dimensional, non-snap brim, but this hat is really OK.

 

[randooch]

Johnny J, that's an awesome find! Ebay? Antique shop in unnamed town? Wow.

B.J., that hat looks great on you.
