Perry, Thanks! Great looking Open Road!Great color, goes perfect with the shirt Steve.
Charlie, Thanks! I posted it here back in December 2015.EXACTLY the color I'm turning, with envy, Steve. We haven't seen this one, have we?
Michael, Thanks! Super Mouton!Wow, that is some great color. And the slightly different green of the ribbon works. Great shirt too.

Thanks! Fantastic Borsalino Stockman!Love that hat Steve! What a great color.
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!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.
Thanks! Great Homburg!The vibrance of that green is particularly striking.
Have you tried? You never know.Well, NOBODY is "holding it down" with big bounteous brims like you, sir!! You OWN that look, and nobody does it better, Joao!!!!
That's marvelous, Perry. And hat plus sweater = super-duper marvelous
