Heading out to have a few with a buddy. The Frunoliner is getting to be a regular thing. Like moe, my other hats are getting jealous!

Sent directly from my mind to yours.
That is certainly one for the rest to envy, with it's nice lines and cool ribbon.

Great color, goes perfect with the shirt Steve.
Perry, Thanks! Great looking Open Road!

EXACTLY the color I'm turning, with envy, Steve. We haven't seen this one, have we?
Charlie, Thanks! I posted it here back in December 2015.

Your VS Oxblood is fantastic!

Wow, that is some great color. And the slightly different green of the ribbon works. Great shirt too.

Michael, Thanks! Super Mouton!

Love that hat Steve! What a great color.
Thanks! Fantastic Borsalino Stockman!

Great looking hat, Steve.

Do you know if Tonak used lower quality felt blends for the USSR market? Just curious about whether there were any implications because they were going there.

Off the top of my head, it seems reasonable that a manufacturer could expect to get less for items marketed in the USSR. Of course, I could be way off base...

Regardless... it's beautiful.
Matt, Thanks! The felt is very high quality especially for the time period. Tonak was behind the Iron Curtain so the Soviet Union was a major customer. Tonak used better components for hats they exported to the West. My guess is this hat is from the late 1950s early 1960s. Superb 1946 Vita-Felt Royal Stetsonian!

The vibrance of that green is particularly striking.
Thanks! Great Homburg!
