You have got a nice one there. And yes Grasshopper, the liner shots are the bomb! Just what we need.

Great color on that Stetson. Looking good today. It appears the shoulder is improving. You look chipper!

I like the color and pattern on that soft cap Harv! You have got that "male model" look down pat!

Hey guys! I've been away on business for a week-and-a-half so I haven't been able to stop in.

Backtracking: I gave my little presentation on how to fold hats to my wife's AP English students. They were very impressed with the little bit of knowledge I had to share and they loved checking out my small (to them huge) collection of vintage lids. In the presentation, I covered different hat types, crown and rake styles, brim types, lining types, fur qualities, popular vintage brands, how to measure your hat size, and (finally) I gave a demo on how to steam, fold, and brush a hat. They loved it! They wanted to know where to find a good beginner fur hat to practice folding—I recommended both ebay and D'Aquino on Etsy (some like vintage; others prefer new). Then they asked where they should go for a good custom hat (for when they feel like they can properly appreciate a good hat)—I recommended MC Gannon based on everyone else's stellar reviews, and also because his price range isn't totally unreasonable for a college student. The kids started a group-chat to geek out about their newfound hat lust.

Anyway! Today, good ol' Lock & Co:

You are now a flag bearer for the hat world. You need to take your show on the road. Spread the word brother!

Heck yes! The next on the list for any really interested students is how to re-sew a sweatband, tack-in a liner, and refold/tack-in a ribbon.

Super, Bob! Classic center crease and great brim treatment. Like it a lot!

How are you Michael?
Have you overcome the "le vent mauvais" of the season?
As always my compliments for your attire, hats and combination!

Somewhat better today Daniele. But the ill wind is blowing a lot of very icy rain this way today.

Your French homburg today is spectacular. Those tall crowns are great and the felt looks wonderful.

Thanks,
Michael

Early morning light in my atelier and a cup of coffee makes for a happy Esther.

Happy Esther. You crack me up, lady!

Wormser today, thanks to a trade with rclark. Not sure I'll keep the cattleman crease, but the hat fits perfectly. Thanks, Rick!

Nice look, Mark. Good get.

Tasty, Perry!

Starting the week under the '50s Crofut & Knapp Forty with the guild edge.

Caught the crud from somewhere. Gonna drug myself... Crawl under my desk, now...

Happy Monday. Hope that it's crud-free.

Stealing a phrase: BEAST!
Feel better, Matt.

I always like seeing that one.

Good job, Blue. Spread the word.

This is one of my favorite hats in my collection

It is one of the few that I think comes from before the Second World War, but I'm very restrictive with the dating of ancient hats

It is a Thibet Luxe made in France

Its uniqueness is felt. Black, soft and shiny, without having a pronounced hairiness. It is probably a mixture of wool and fur, or if it's just the fur is a special mixture used to achieve a similar result

The dimensions are very similar to homburg last week marked A. France in brown, imposing

The excellent finishes are those of a world that no longer exists in the hats production

Here is the inside of the hat and the particular of the brand
A huge thanks for your likes and conversations
Buon Lunedì

Impressive, Daniele. That hat makes a statement.

Imperial Stetson Vita -Felt today.

Nice.

With that FINE hat on your head you certainly don't look ill. Of course, who's looking at you, I'm focused on the hat!

A great fedora on one's head always cranks you up at least one notch on the scale.

Can you share that on YouTube?

I think my instructions would be at an amateur level. I wouldn't mind doing it, though! Depends on the student interest, really. I actually really like this vid of the ladies at Paul's Hat Works — professionally shot, and very informative:
