Once again. It's traditional and customary to identify your nice hats. Thx. I'd like to know.

Where'd you get that suit?

Today, I am test driving a hat that I bought several years ago but have had in a box for that time for reasons I will likely detail in the Homburg Nation thread.

The felt on this (what I believe to be a '40s creation) exceeds the quality of my similar vintage Vita-Felts. I have no idea which maker Julius Garfinckel & Co. contracted for their store branded hats, but whoever it was... they did one hell of a job.

Garfinkel's was a high-end department store in DC. I remember it being quite the place, even when I grew up in the area in the '80s. For a long time, it was the parent company of Brooks Brothers. And Mr. Garfinkel, was a much admired, largely solitary but very kind-hearted man. He died in 1936 and the store collapsed into bankruptcy in 1990. A link about the store and another about Mr. Garfinkel are at the end of my post.

Spending my STRATurday at home and a little under the weather.

Wearing my 40s Premier Stratoliner and my favorite Pendleton board shirt to help me feel better!

Hats are the best medicine. The more vintage and special, the more potent the cure! Feel better friend, and that Strat, Day-um.

Between illness, snow days and spotty internet service I've not been able to keep up!

So many great lids posted by so many great FL'rs here lately. Sun is out, but it'a around 23F right now. Daughter has some martial arts classes this morning then we'll get lunch and see that Rogue One (Star Wars) movie with the Regal tickets my baby sis sent for Christmas. Happy Days!

Around the house I wear a little felt and it helps me keep the electric heaters down a bit.

Love the pic. Where did all those leaves come from?

Resistol kitten finish. My favorite hat. Paired up with some Harris tweed.
And my nephew in a very small 50s "custom" fedora I scooped up for a dollar.

Love the look, on both of you!!! Start them young, instill the civility of fine men's hats to the next generation! We will win in the end.

A very interesting combination, animal themes...all you need now is lizard skin boots. Love the Dobbs color with that contrast on the ribbon. Covet!!

 

[Redfokker]

Thanks Daniele. You are very kind.

I am definitely going to be taking you up on your kind offer once I am in the buying market again. Right now... I am under a self-imposed moratorium. I am hopeful that my soon to be up-and-running US dollar counterfeiting business will help end the purchasing drought. [emoji6]

+1 Me too! Can you email me a few hundred? I can print them out here at home.

 

[Redfokker]

Stetson 25 OR....

Nice OR I just love the images of your studio, its the details that draw me to them...
