Not long ago a hat that I had commissioned from Stephen Temkin of Leon Drexler came.

It's his Stroller style in angora finish blue steel felt with a crown ribbon in a very dark grey that he calls blazer and the edge bending in a ribbon color that he calls chrome. The 2 1/4" brim is significantly narrower than is usual for me, but I was quite taken with the Stroller style as soon as I saw it and didn't want to tamper with its proportions.

I plan for this to be my cool weather 'travel hat' to wear when I'm out of town in lieu of one of my everyday fedoras. I've been thinking of getting something to give that role for a while and the character of the Stroller just seemed very right for it.

I'm very pleased with this hat and look forward to wearing it to Thanksgiving. Maybe it'll encourage me to travel more.

I'm already on the hook for an eventual warmer weather counterpart, which will be similar, but in lighter colors with a wider brim and the welterweight finish. I have another quite interesting Leon Drexler hat, but no pictures at the moment, so that will have to be for another time.

Definitely a high end custom. I kind of like the Londoner Lord's Hat he shows on the website.

Finally I see a Leon Drexler hat photographed in a good way
I like it and I hope to see more of this in natural light
Complimenti!

New to me hat I picked up at a local vintage clothing shop in Stockholm. Through his research the guy thinks it's from the 1940's based on the importer, etc. No idea how true that is, but I really like the hat!

Now just to get rid of the musty smell. It's not overwhelming but I've never bought anything vintage before and it pretty much smells exactly like the shop itself.
