What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Daniele Tanto]

During my absence, tons of fine hats have appeared, mentioning them all is a difficult undertaking, so applauding all the loungers

For the series dedicated to the French hats producers today a Meer made by Thibet that almost certainly was made before the second world war

The hat manufacturer is Thibet and I have several hats from this brand in my French collection and they are among my favourites
Almost always they were made of wool or a mixture of wool and fur

Without lining it has only an insert with the name of the Meer hats shop on the bottom of the crown
The wool is very malleable and of excellent quality. The proportions are those of forms in vogue in the twenties and thirties

I can not give you any further information because the sweatband is very dry to watch at the paper label

Have a nice day!

Good white late winter morning here in Minnesota.

Dog walk in my vtg. Lee Desert Tones.

Snow blowing and shoveling snow in my warm parka and a Stormy Kromer cap. This cap is a real working wool cap at my house.

Filled bird feeders and checked on the boathouse in the hat that has involved in the western expansion in the early US - a bowler. 1910 Stetson bowler. Love the crown vent and tall crown. It is nice and toasty on a cold snowy morning.

Best, Eric -

Nice bowler Eric.

Looks good with that tan jacket.

Thanks Mike. This hat's "Diggitude" stock just keeps rising in my book. Thou art da man.

You have really made this hat your own, Matt, and it looks right at home on your noggin. @Redfokker was so generous to send this one off to you... a Cavanagh, to start with, and the felt looks yummy. Cavanagh has the most elegant liners, too. I would have sent it off to a hatter for a new ribbon and orders to make it look like a 50s Bogart fedora. But this one just fits so well as is, in your stable. Wonderful!

Thanks Tuk. At first, the thought crossed my mind to do away with the band. But it passed quickly. Groovy beats tacky.

Beautiful hat.

I'm so impressed by what European makers were able to do with wool. The impression that I get (perhaps erroneously) is that on this side of the pond, the development of techniques for creating highly refined, soft, high wool content felts was something that lagged far behind you guys.

Great hats.

I love the derby. I understand your uneasiness about public derby use. But, it's a great look for you.

Excellent Quality Stetson

Fantastic hat. The ribbon and binding color just leap off of the screen.

Whippet Wednesday with the Deckard JP Modern Whippet. Heading up for the first class of Spring Term. Taking a graduate seminar on Russian history, just because I'm a geek.

I like your hat.

But I covet your life. Graduate seminar in Russian history sounds like the best fun ever. I hope that you may explore Peter the Great's beard tax. It's one of my favorite examples of his attempts to "Europeanize" Russian culture.

I'm trading Justin one kidney for the Eakle he wore yesterday.

I'll give you my other kidney in exchange for that hat.

Boy... I adore that thing!!!

It may have just been the nature of the environment. When settling this great, sprawling land, we were awash in beavers. So much so they were hunted mercilessly to provide material for hats. With such a supply of what is a superior material to wool, there was likely little incentive to develop or maintain the techniques used in Europe.

You and Mike appear to be twins.

Gannon in natural beaver and slate ribbon

Zounds! Great combination of colors!

Yeah, I like both of those.

That was my initial thought, too. But then I was thinking about the large amount of imported fur that (from stuff I read) seems to have predominated in the 20th century industry. And it makes me wonder what other factors may have come into play. Interesting...

Hmmm.... I think that the kidney would be a lot easier to part with.

 

[Richard Morgan]

Sweet! Is yours a Whippet, too? Similar to @Redfokker 's modern Whippet in color, at least.

Thanks, it doesn’t say Whippet anywhere and there is no mfg tag, but I think it is. It’s an outlet hat so I’m not concerned with missing tags. I should ask Mike if his says Whippet on the sweat or liner.

Yesterday was the Konsul chamois.
Today was the Seton Hall (a very cool hat Mike found for me).

Both are great!

Finger numbing this morning under The Sovereign Stetson Twenty

Have a good Wednesday,
Michael

Entire look is sharp as can be. Just awesome

The Cavanagh "Huggy Bear" lord's hat continues to exert it's irresistible will by forcing me to wear it again.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

I'm loving the brim profile on that. Now I'm tempted to dig out an upbrim hat too for today. Thanks for the inspiration!

Stetson

Great choice, my friend!

Mid-week, mid-ribbon. Stetson Royal DeLuxe heather.

Loving the two tone felt. Such a sleek contrast

You've done it again, Eric.... I like all of them, but the derby is the icing on the cake!

I thought I'd read it was the other way - we were sending fur (beaver) to Europe.

There's hope for you yet. I may be in the market for a new liver some day.
