That brim treatment is so nice, especially combined with the matching ribbon, I really like that!



Now that's a beautifully made cap. I might start getting into flat caps...


I'm glad you seem to be recovering from the flu. Keep yourself warm & dry - and keep postimg your great pictures of course ;)


Loving the ribbon on that first hat. I hope you had a nice time with your relatives. Such a shame about the school being abandoned and seemingly left to fall apart, it looks like it was once a beautiful building.


It 's good for you to take a break and show us your nice hats ;)
Thank you for the kind words Celia.

Resistol Beaver 25. This is one of two I have but some verdigris had nearly destroyed the hat before I got it. I was able to salvage the sweat but the ribbon and wind trolley were rotted. Decided to go with a contrasting setup I got from Scott. The boots, mid 60's TL's I snuck in for Mr. Hemingway.

Hard to sneak around in those nice boots Bama. They look in great condition for 50+ years old.

Hey all!
Spent a lazy afternoon trying to make a Sears hat look different than it's Montgomery Ward twin by changing the ribbon and bow to one inspired by a J. C. Penney hat.
Pilgrim, customized.

I went from a 1" ribbon to a 1 1/2", with a bow inspired by my 20's Marathon. Might get some minor tweaking before all is said and done.
Have a great day!

Sent from thin air using electricity and other wizardry.
Looks great. Nice work.

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
Thanks Michael, your "western" hat is a goodie on your combo;)
I hope to see you more springy!

Impressive, Daniele. That hat makes a statement.
Thanks Fruno, your homburg is a proper hat for a serious day
That hat hurts my brain.
Stupendous.
Matt Thanks, your hat (impossible name brand for a Latin) has a fantastic color

Wow, I can see why this would be a favourite. What a beauty and in superb condition for it's age!
Thank Sergej. I was lucky it arrived new in a capsule of time with a bunch of French hats

And another beautiful homburg! Your choice of hats never disappoints Daniele!
Grazie Celia, this homburg is so beautiful that make me happy each time I wear it!
