Post New Hats Here!

[Steve1857]

I love that - so much fun!

But if there is a mystery involved, please don’t tell me about it. I am not a great detective even though I love it so much!

Not so much mysterious detective work, Nathan.

More like academic nurding

Well, I might need one. Not surprisingly, the stink is not only in the liner, but also the hat and/or sweatband. I just took the Twenty-Five out for a quick shop and by the time I got home the slight smell in the hat had activated.

I have a hat that seemed fine until I brushed it and then OMG, the release of cologne scent just about knocked me out. I have vasomotor rhinitis which is a non-allergic hypersensitive immune response to, well, just about anything. Cosmetic fragrances are especially my kryptonite. Uhg :-(

The above quote makes me question your signature: Maybe not just a hat but a biological weapon...

I hope you are able to cleanse the hat

TThis stuff works great to remove strong odors from hats and many other things. I have used it to get cigarette smoke and musty smells out of hats. Belfastboy recently used it to get a strong perfume-y smell from a hat.

Pre-Stetson Mallory Twelve-Fifty

Fresh out of the box, a Stetson Royal Deluxe -- Would this be a Trilby?

Or perhaps a stingy brim fedora???

Not a new hat but a new band.

Swapped the leather on the Angler for a horse hair braid from Knot-a-tail (great quality).

I thought the contrast between hat colour and band colour may be too stark, but I think it works.

John @moehawk notified me of this Penn Craft (thank you, John). The price was right but the seller's pictures were so-so and the hat was very dusty. With all the dust and shadows on the pictures, I was apprehensive about the crown having damage, but it was worth the gamble. The good news; the felt is silky smooth - classic Penn Craft - and crown and brim are perfect with no bumps, dents or scrapes. The bad news; the sweatband has light cracking and is flaking in spots. It will have to be replaced in time, but, for now, I think it will go a few more years. I don't want to stress the sweat to get more pics, but it does have the interior size tag/handwritten reorder tag...good for provenance.

On the derby/bowler train myself as well:

Failsworth in grey.
Does someone knows the age of it?
The spots on the hat is steam which has to dry, because it was in a not so good shape.

Another wonderful Stetson-era Mallory. I don’t own any Mallories from before the take-over, but I am thrilled with each one that I have from after.

This is my second “aristocratic quality” (which is, I believe, the second best tier). The felt looks and feels like it might have some wool in it.

This boasts a very nice top-stitch fold-over brim, but the ribbon is surprisingly a touch misaligned, which is a first for me with a hat from a big-name maker.

As suspected when purchased, the sweatband is coming undone from its 1940s style stitching; but other than that and a few stains this fellow has a lot of life left in him.

Nice to add another original 1940s style “adventure” hat to my collection.

Junior Borsalino in grey. Unfortunally no label inside. It's a little dirty (some spots on it) so i will see if i can clean that.
