Post New Hats Here!

I’ve long admired Gary’s @The Shoe Custom V so happily grabbed this one, but suspect they don’t share much except a name. It’s an unusual hat—my first real heathered felt and very thick and soft and wooly, like a cross between a fedora and a blanket. It’s in very good condition and a handsome bluish gray felt. It took a lot of steam to get anything like a real crease in it and the brim definitely has a mind of its own. Seems like the kind of hat you’d put under the tree for dad along with a new pipe and some slippers—cozy and casual.
Cheers,

David

Congratulations on the find. I do recall you saying it was your favourite of my hats. It’s certainly up there for me, too. Probably first equal with my Borsalino Debrosan.
Not a lot in common between them, although the dimensions may be the same.. Mine’s a thin felt with a bound brim. Same liner, though yours is much cleaner. Either way, it looks great.

That is one super nice find, David.

It suits you, and I'm sure you'll appreciate it more as time goes by.
