Tom, I neglected to mention your Roadmaster. Is it gray as it looks in the photo or more of a tan color?

No worries Perry....I'm used to neglect...but enough about my love life....
It is not gray but "natural". HatCo's attempt at undyed felt. Put a gray hat next to it & it looks brown, put a brown hat next to it & it looks gray.
I have a Buckaroo custom made from Winchester dress weight 100% undyed beaver & it is in that neighborhood. Sorry you asked???

First, Perry, you rock these ORs. Fantastic choice today!

Alan, I am in awe. Not only is that hat magnificent, I really dig that photo, and I can't even put my finger on exactly why.

rlk, with all of these hats not in your size, I continue to be amazed that every single one you post appears to be a perfect fit. Those Italians really have something going there.

Josh-- nice wide brimmed tar there. This style completely transforms your usual 30s thing-- looks very nice! When am I going to get to see that new pencil rolled Buckaroo again!?
gdc-- looks like a very good and functional outdoor lid! Got some style and attitude too.
Gin N' Tonics-- the hat is a winner (kind and generous indeed!), and the ensemble works really well, but I think my favorite part is the pairing of your facial expression with those pups and the cradle behind you! Cool photo.

Sorry to post this number again, but I'm really enjoying this Falcon Park black cherry this week-- couldn't help myself!

Jeff, that Falcon Park is a winner, one of my favorite Hats from you!

I had the Christy tan linen flat cap on today, too hot and humid for anything else!

This is a Cool Cap !

Back in town from a spot of traveling and business. This morning enjoying the dog walk and appreciating the summer rose blossoms. The temps here in Minnesota, USA are just reaching into the 60'F. Wearing my VS bluesmoke.

Totally knackered and needing a spot of coffee,
Best, Eric -

Good show this morning, fellows! D-man, love the mule-kick. We have similar McKinley monuments here, celebrating sadder events.

Great hats all around but I love this pic, D.

Trying on helmets with the guys from space... Josh, they liked this Knox 20.

 

[Brando11]

Boy you've got me liking those Knoxes! Could you tell me the crown and binding ribbon widths, Alan? Such a great look-

Trying on helmets with the guys from space... Josh, they liked this Knox 20.

 

[alanfgag]

These 1950s Knoxes are big, rugged, heavy felters that carved a strong profile. 2 3/4" brim, 5 3/4" open crown, Custom (Cavanagh) brim edge are featured on the Knox 20s and 40s that I have seen. The felt on the 40s was more sophisticated and more easily formable and both were very nicely crafted hats, but you can't help but notice a downward drift in felt character from a decade earlier. It seems there was more subtlety and diversity in European felts from this era.
