Oh my word...
Matt, Thanks! Great series of hats from you. The latest Stiff Felt Extra Quality Knox is fantastic!

Gorgeous, Steve.
Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Thank you! Great Granite Gannon from yesterday!

Damn, Steve. That's about a perfect fedora to me.
Greg, Thanks! Fantastic Stetson from yesterday. Great to see old Soft Felt Hats!

Dang, it seems like very week you come up with a hat that is my all time favorite. How can that be?

Stetson and snowboarding.
I took my metropolis to a 3200 meters hight on top of the Austrian alps.
It was amazing day!

Bravo Amos, for snowboarding in a fedora! I've been skiing a little north of there in Garmisch-Partenkirchen which is near the Austrian border with Germany. Great skiing and snowboarding in that area and the views are spectacular!

Thank you sir. And you're looking quite Westernly today. ( Making up words like Matt does).
It's not "making up words", Perry. It's using morphology to coalesce semiotic vapors into viable and comprehensible symbolic representations. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. [emoji6]


By the way, I measured the height of the crown on the derby after your later comment. I'm sure that I have done so before but have forgotten the results. It's a whopping 6 inches high!

It's almost like looking at a point in the middle of the evolution from the top hat to the lower crown derbies and bowlers of more recent decades. Thanks for prompting me to consider that.


Have a hatastic rest of the day.

My personal gift for the birthday has been investing money in factory hats.
Last year had been privileged single hatters.
This afternoon I got the presents :rolleyes:
It is always difficult to choose the hats on the photographs, this time I was super happy :)

Tonak in blue, current production
View attachment 67113

Made very well by today's standards. Lining in red
View attachment 67114
When we talk about Tonak the eye and touch are committed to appreciate the quality of the felt produced by former Huckel.
I started to unwrap my presents and for a few days we will have fun with the news for the sixty-fourth winter.

Thanks a lot for your appreciation on yesterday Flechet de Luxe
Very nice. Is Tonak the manufacturer. If not, who is?

We will expect a full report!! Will you be going to a wind tunnel to test it? ;-)
In any case, beautiful bowler with a beautiful lining.

Thank you Kuki!
Main Street of my little town was close enough to a wind tunnel to get a good idea of a bowler's stayonability. I am happy to report that I am still in posession of the hat, so I guess it's confirmed!:)
