Post New Hats Here!

Mr.P, You do have a head designed for hats sir.
BoB, You and that Whippet are a great match.

Thanks, Tom. This whippet feels really good on.

I think that hat really works on you. It might not get worn often (I have similar issue with my light hats), but maybe you can relish those times when you do.

New ebay-victory arrived. I took some artistic liberty and aged the photo a bit.. I think it's a difficult hat to combine with the general attire I have in my closet. We'll see how much it get's worn. I like the hat, but it's not instant love.. As with my FedIV Also the colour is tan, and pretty vulnerable to dirt (I should've realised that before taking the plunge ) But this could be said for all the lightcoloured hatwear I have.. lol

I'm going to join the happy throng and say that your hat looks really great. Definitely one of the best hat-owner matches I've seen on the Lounge...and I've spent far too many hours looking, lately.

Thank you very much NB13, I think you're right, and wow Chilliarches, that's a big compliment, thank you sir!

Love Habig! I would say down. It has some Trachten elements. Looking forward to more pics.

Mallory Lightweight

The felt is very much like that of the typical Borsalino Alessandria. Light and soft and wrinkles a bit when crushed. 2-7/8" brim. Unreeded sweat, Color is a bit darker and greener than appears in upper photos. Any date estimates?

Up or down either way, RLK, that's a very nice hat!

You're on quite the roll, rlk. Great taste in hats and a knack for landing them. :eusa_clap

Yep. No doubt.

A new, old Whippet arrived at my house today fresh from the bay. This one looks pretty good except for what looks like a couple of pin holes in the ribbon near the bow. Anybody have any thoughts on how to get those out? A good brushing will improve it quite a bit, I think.

It's black, kind of a rare color I'm told. And it's '50's I believe JtL said. Right, Jim?

Very nice Bob. The Whippet is a classic and the black color is really nice. Looks to be in great condition.

Very sharp homburg, Mr.Paladin, and you wear it well. If it weren't for the smile, you could pass for a Swiss banker.

lol lol lol Thank you sir!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Mr. P, if you haven't experienced Resistol's self conforming sweat, I can tell you that you are going to like it. I have one, and it makes the hat feel great on. I've been curious about how I'd look in a homberg. Yours looks fantastic on you and is making me want to try one.

I have another vintage Resistol with the self-conforming band and I agree, it is super comfortable. Give one a try, they seem to go for very little on e-Bay. Three of my four come from there; each less than $26 including shipping. I enjoy wearing them out for dress occasions and may try one for court one day soon.
