Trotting out the 1942 Rose Bowl NW Hats custom. This was my first bespoke hat from Mike Miller. Got me hooked. This hat is a work horse, works in all situations.

Great pattern on that Monsvias cap Harv. Good to see on the news that you guys are on the upswing temp wise.


Very nice, is that one Sage green? I sure like my Strat in this color.


The Frunoberger really turned out nice Jim. Its Monday, you are allowed to look confused.


Nice brim on that Borsalino Richard. Is it a 1950s example?
Thank you Red!

The hat is a Carlton made in Germany, or so it seems. I have others with the same brand made in France

Antelope finish and very low ribbon
Qualitat Wildleder. Trier is another indication in the paper label

It is a hat that has some difficulty in staying fit and the wind of today has not helped it

Here in the east Italy temperatures rose above average suddenly. We hope everything will come back to normal.

Giving the newly rebuilt Berger of Hollywood (AKA The Frunoberger - thanks, moe) it's maiden voyage on a sloppy, wet Monday morning. The good thing is, it's above freezing for the first time in two weeks!

And brim up for Bob, in case he's checking in.

So here is my latest attempt at reshaping my Campdrafts. Used a lot of distilled water and a rope. Saw the rope idea from another lounger and thought it was a great idea. Worked pretty well, so far I'm pleased with how these turned out. Maybe a little fine tuning sometime in the future. I tried doing a video of the process but having a hard time uploading. Would like to have gotten some feed back from you guys, things I did right, things I should do differently. That kind of thing. Can't really see by the picture but in the BGG there is still a noticeable sharp crease in the front. That's for another day.

First, I'm sorry for not responding to the nice comments for the last couple of days, and of not commenting on the fine headwear on display by all. I've been bedeviled by a persistent headache that has come on about mid morning. So thanks all, and great hats all around.

A nice enough winter day today. If the headache doesn't reappear I may do a little bus/walk to the library and around downtown today for a fresh dvd supply and some exercise. Will be wearing this deerstalker while I'm out.

And going all in the the British theme with a cape, Norfolk jacket and fair isle sweater vest to go along with it.

Michael, perfect combo the cap and the "montone" as we call your coat.
Thanks Daniele. The montone was nice and warm.

I really like the felt and ribbon combo on this hat Daniele. It's a winner. Hope your infection is cleared now.

Thanks,
Michael

Sunday Borsalino melusine finish. Color camel. It warmed up to 18 F. I think things are on the upswing.

Fabulous cloth in that cap Harv.

Great rebuild Fruno. Really nice ribbon work. Too much Devo this weekend?

That hat will stand the test of time Red. Will still look good at the 2042 Rose Bowl.
