Post New Hats Here!

[Mr. Paladin]

Also a greenish-brown Mallory with a red ribbon and gold edge binding...the felt is paper thin and extremely soft. This one may end up on the classifieds because it's a 7-1/4. The stitching on the sweat is about 2/3 gone so I will probably try to fix it before I post it...unless someone wants it now. I may keep it if I decide a fixed-and-then-stuffed sweatband makes it look good on me.

Great color combos on the felt, ribbon, and binding. If you can make it fit, it would look great!

 

[Mr. Paladin]

It has already been shrunk to the point where I only have to put some pads in the sides and wear it for in!!!

That is amazing! I will now eat crow.........

I've got to join in this chorus. That Mallory is beautiful, Chiliarches!

Couple of Stetsons

Just got these 2 Stetsons in the mail. An older Stetson Twenty with a great color contrast and a much newer Stetson thin ribbon.

I'm no hat forensics expert, but I suspect a sweat replacement on the Twenty.

Stetson Thin

Here are a couple more of the thin ribbon.

The newer one is much newer. It's got the same liner as the 90s (1996) Saxon I once owned.

Um, yep. Glaringly obvious, ain't it? Great hat otherwise!

Love that "Twenty", buler!

Here are three of the five new homburgs I have acquired this week:

Dobbs-looks like a bowler with a dent; fits well but looks tiny.

Hall & Hall-Deep midnight blue; hard to distinguish from black except side by side.

Royal DeLuxe Stetson St. Regis-This one is superb; mint in every way. My favorite so far...

That's my favourite.

Mr. P, the Stetson looks light gray to me from here. Looks fantastic. I'm gonna have to find one as nice as that.

[High Pockets]

Nice hats Mr. Paladin!

Love the mantle clock!

 

[High Pockets]

Three,......not one, not two but three hats arrived at my house today!!

Man,...I live for days like this!!

This Moonstone Fed IV Deluxe just got back from the local hatter and has a new ribbon!!

Old ribbon:

New ribbon:

This old Resistol "western" (brim narrowed drastically and crown/brim reshaped by me), just came back with a wider ribbon and bound edge:

It was the hat on the right just the other day:

 

[High Pockets]

And last but not least, my Borsalino came back from Optimo looking like new!

 

[BobC]

Congrats, HP, all of those look real fine. And a three hat day to boot. You can't beat that.

 

[memphislawyer]

(envious of Mr. Pockets)
Love the look of less contrast on the Fed, but that Resistol, makes me want something like that for summer

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

This one's my favorite, but they are all lookers. Mr. P., you wear a Homburg so naturally - better than anyone I've seen. :eusa_clap

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

(brim narrowed drastically...)

Oh NOOO!!! A trimmed brim!?!? How dare you!?! lol

 

[High Pockets]

Don't get me near a cowboy hat with a razor blade and bottle of beer!
