Definitely one of my favorites in your massive collection Doug. Nice shirt too. It will be sunny for the next few days, straws?Seeing as I posted this in the wrong thread earlier.... here's the Knox 15 I wore out grocery shopping today.
Kind if a Whisky colored felt with a dark copper ribbon and the Knox Custom edge, aka he Cavanagh Edge.

You are a true Lounger Samuel. Wearing your hats while laying around the house is a sign of our addiction, beware!
Congratulations on your anniversary David. You celebrate with a style we all aspire to. Great pictures, keep them coming.Thank you to everyone who commented and liked my Borsalino from yesterday.
This is my go to travel hat because I can roll it and bring it in the triangular box.
For those that asked, this hat is greenish or bluish grey, depending on the light.
Today is our 23rd wedding anniversary and we are celebrating in Venice with family.
During the day, I’ve been wearing my Cordova cap
Cheers! David
Wow! That is a true beauty TJ, love everything about this one. Yay!Great looking lids everyone. It's 48 degrees here in the Central part of Ohio. Fall is definitely making an entrance.
Wearing a very rare late '40s Imperial in Suede Finish this A.M. Very soft finish. I've only seen two more like it and no one so far has been able to find a model name for it. There's a Lounger who has one that gives a little more information on it as far as year and price. It seems to have been a $16.50 hat from 1949, pre dating the Stetson Tijuana.
This is the actual color of the hat, Greyish Blue
Poor lighting doesn't give the actual color in the pictures
Unfortunately, it's a bit snug on me.
Some old Rock and Roll!

Super nice Alessandria Christophe, it looks so light and comfy.Borsalino "Alessandria". I just realised I was wearing it and can't remember when I put it on... It's a kind of blue - gray colour, which the camera is not quite capturing.

Such a great finish. Love this one Karl.
Cool! And it looks like a Brim up for Bob as well. Way to represent.My lid from yesterday. A Dobbs in inky black. I'm in a classic rock and blues band and it's one of my band hats. We had a show last night so the Dobbs got the call...
Here's the whole band for your viewing pleasure. I'm hiding in the back left corner. Our male singer in front is just getting into hats. That's a new Mayser felt on his noggin:

Two great hats Eric. Love the whiskey color. Beer with breakfast? You go girl!Dog walk in a Gannon (whiskey beaver felt) in the light rain.
Grocery shopping in a vtg. Stetson Playboy. Baking corn muffins and some salmon for breakfast. Cheers!
Best, Eric -
I do love that Stetson Michael, perfect look with that cool leather coat.Another glorious autumn morning. It can keep this up for 6 months as far as I'm concerned. A '50s Royal Deluxe fedora of unknown model name today.

cheers red, it is a hat you can just stroke, soft hair but a stiffer hat than you'd think.
That is really good looking and unique.Can you stretch it enough to fit?Great looking lids everyone. It's 48 degrees here in the Central part of Ohio. Fall is definitely making an entrance.

Thanks, Red. Unless it gets hot, I'm pretty much into felts at this point. Loving the lower temps, but MrsFed is already cold. She says we should go to Ecuador during the fall and winter.

I thought about that. It's a roomy 7 1/8 but I'm in between sizes, 7 1/4 - 73/8.
Thank you Desert dog.
Thanks Michael. If it were my Champ I would leave it original. It looks nice the way it is and it's not see easy to find these days.
Thank you Red.
