Nice one. Was always curious abt that style Biltmore. Before I got my first Camp Draft and liking Canadian Biltmores I was trying to find one like it. Its a hard to find Biltmore. Was that open crown from the factory and model #BLF 2001?

Bob - mine is BWF 2001.

Yes it was open crown from the factory. One hat store (I seem to recall it was called Hat's Plus) had a bunch of these after the factory closed and was selling them for about $100 each.

The quality is great for the price, at least as good, or maybe a little better) than the one Campdraft I have. I don't have any other modern retail hats to compare it with.


Cheers!

Thanks. That's the hat. I believe I wrote the letters wrong. It was Hats Plus. I bought 3 NOS Canadian Biltmores from them abt 2 or 3 years ago. They told me at the time that they purchased quite a few.

Oh, happy day...

Off to work under an old excellent quality ovalized sixteenths Knox Fifth Avenue derby. (It's much more comfortable than the hexagonalized thirteenths one.)

As I was engaged in my narcissistic hat problem ritual, a great blue heron landed on a fallen tree in the creek behind my house. So here is a picture of that, too. It's not wearing a hat, though.

Have one hell of a swell Tuesday, folks. [emoji2]

Edit... to avoid untopicification, here is the great blue heron wearing a hat (all better now).
