Post New Hats Here!

Received this Open Road XXX yesterday morning, open crowned and flat brimmed. Hot stretched it (check "Ask a question" thread) and threw a really quick bash into. Going to wear it into shape in short order:

Now please excuse me, seems I need to dust in here:eusa_doh: (especially the stereo)

Hi,

That's the spirit! Wear that puppy to get it into shape! That's my favorite approach as well.

Bee Cloth Fedora

I go this yesterday, but the photos I had taken were pretty shoddy.

I had been wanting a cloth fedora, and this one was at a price I couldn't pass up. Needs some spot cleaning and bash work, the seller had packed in in the box completely flat...

My son's first vintage lids

My 18 year old son has begun to show some interest in fedoras, so I bought him an Akubra Bogart for Christmas and it's rarely off his head.
This week I picked him up a couple of 60's stingies to begin his vintage collection.

STETSON GUN CLUB long-hair - Charcoal grey with silver grey ribbon.

CHAMP CUSTOM SUEDE - Taupe with green/grey ribbon. grey brim binding 2" brim

The above Champ oriiginally came out of the box looking like this. Love that feather! Actually, it's mostly badger hair. I should shave with it. I guess it did cover the moth nibbles.

Almost forgot!

Hat given to me by a coworker which she got for 50cents at her local thrift store.

I call it the "Brown Beater" and is a nice no worries lid. I am guessing it`s from the 80`s? Is this what is called a "bucket" style hat?

Looks like the modern corduroy fedora/beater I had until my nephew adopted it:

I'll chime in and say that's a good looking Borsalino. Great color!

No need to fret, it's STILL a nice Borso!

This is my new Champ returned from Optimo. It needed a good cleaning, re-blocking to proper size with replaced sweatband, and a new ribbon. They duplicated the old ribbon well, and sent me back the original sweat, which they said could not be saved in the re-block. The work was very well done. It has a cavanaugh-type edge called Hand-felted on the old sweat.:

Wasting away...

This shelf is directly across from me as I type this and yet there are hats on it I have never even posted much less worn out of the house. Really must rotate somewhat more in what I wear...

ps if you follow the link the pic is tagged...

Miller/Biltmore Pork Pie

I just got my grey Biltmore pork pie from Miller today. And I know it's labeled Miller, but I'm going to call it a Biltmore because that's who makes it. I'm really impressed with the felt, especially considering the price ($90); it's got a good weight and is nice and pliable. The leather sweat band is also excellent for this price point; it feels like leather, not that plastic-feeling crap. I ordered it in size 7 3/4 and the fit was perfect right out of the box. If anyone from Miller Hats reads this: Thanks, guys! I'll be doing business with you again.
