What hat are you waiting for today?

[J Williams]

This one is on it's way. I couldn't pass up another Canadian No 1 Quality. This one apparently belonged to the Mayor of Calgary Don Mackay. He was mayor between 1949 - 1959 so if the provenance is true it's certainly a 50's hat. I'm betting it was made in the Brockville plant in Ontario. More details to come when it arrives!

Okay. So. First, finding a black Knox fro the 30s a few weeks ago. Now...I found this gem of a piece that is forthcoming. I know one cannot hurry love...But a Knox 40? Be swift, snail mail! Did I say I love vintage Knox pieces? Oh yeah. I did.

Way to go, Doc! There were a few of us looking at that beauty. I’m glad it found the right home.

Navy blue.

In the pic, it looks like midnight. Dark as an old US Navy peacoat.

It’s hard to capture accurate colors of felt. I hope it’s dark, but I want it light enough to not look black. I hope to know for myself next week.

since Tapatalk stopped playing nice with this forum, I haven't figured out how to post pics.

For my daily 5 mile morning hike in the woods, it's always my Akubra Heritage Fawn Banjo Patterson.

For just about everything else, I wear my converted Stetson Roadster in Walnut. I posted pics of the conversion in the Roadster section of the forum. My darker colored felt hats are waiting for cooler weather to reappear.. LOL
