Thanks Red. I can't wait for the return of felt weather.I'm loving that Marathon Michael. Won't it be grand this winter/fall when true felt weather returns!
Thanks Jim. Should be some fun music. It's a big Steely Dan cover band with horns, female backup and the whole shebang. They've brought out one of the biggest crowds of the summer free concert series in years past. I suspect they will again.Nice. Enjoy the show.

The new Mode Edge
Whilst this hat is not as old or as nice as others on the Lounge
Working from home today so no need to suit up. The new Mode Edge is perhaps a little too formal without a suit so went for a guayavera. I need to stitch the sweatbinding properly referring to @humanshoes helpful link.
Whilst this hat is not as old or as nice as others I have seen in the Lounge, it is the nicest old one I have as to condition, missing just the liner and needing to fix the sweat.
For some reason, it reminds me of when my grandfather from Bordeaux opened a bottle of early 60's wine he had been saving on his 80th (35 year old wine). In a flash, I discovered what "real" wine tastes like. Now I understand a little better about pre60's hats [emoji846]; all part of the pleasure of discovering new old things in life.
The classic Harv smirk! I'd have the same look when wearing such a super Dobbs.Dobbs 15 Mode Edge
All set for a day in the sun Perry. Great shirt too.

This Playboy is close to the hat Mike Miller is building for me right now. What is the brim width on this one? Nice.Nice shirt, great straw, Perry.
Also, nice piece of chocolate, Harv (@1mach1).

Stetson Panama OR today.
A bit cooler today than yesterday's humid 92. I realized this morning that I haven't had coffee with the Whippet for a long time,

There will be some good local music at the downtown concert tonight. Will have to see if I can get my bike to drag me down there.
Have a fine Friday
Michael

Mike, Thanks! I agree the feather in this case is a nice touch.This one is another favorite. Cute feather, that is one I would leave in the hat, it does a lot for it.
Thank you! I believe this my first Hückel Weilheim "Chamois" which is surprising.I love my one and only Huckel!!

Fantastic hat, Bob. Love the brim binding (and everything else for that matter).Schobel. Early 50's vintage.

I think this is the brim I'm going with based on a 1935 image. Hollywood curl, I'll see if I can pull that off.Thanks. Don't have a tape measure right now, but I want to say 2 3/8".

Thank you. Narrow brim binding for sure.Fantastic hat, Bob. Love the brim binding (and everything else for that matter).

SHARP!!Again, I didn't have the time for a post of my hat from yesterday's performance of our play. Not quite a black one (saving the big guns for closing night), but my Barbisio nutria got a wearing in summer. This is my true "mullet-berg", business on the brim and party crown.

Nice one, Mike. Even when worn less formal it still knocks it out of the park.Again, I didn't have the time for a post of my hat from yesterday's performance of our play.
