It's easy to see why that one is a favorite.Unexpected mtg. this afternoon had me leaving in a different costume. My jacket needed a coordinating vtg.Stetson Playboy. This 1940's unlined brown hat is a fav.
Best, Eric -
Beauty Alan, and from the looks of that liner you may be the first person to wear it.A simple hat with good blood lines. $7.50 at Buffalo's The Kleinhans sometime in the later 1930s. Note the very flat flange (not homburgian) and the fixed wind cord button, which serves only to hold the cord looped to attach to a jacket button.
You're getting very European lately John, very nice HuckelHey folks!

Thanks Matt. You have pulled off a couple of stellar examples of the hat trade today.Thanks Charlie.
Me too. I absolutely love the subtle curve of the brim. I was thinking about that a little while ago and it occurred to me that the brim curve is just about the same as the curve of the Mona Lisa's smile. I then looked at some images of the painting. Sure enough....
I wonder if that's why I like it so much.
I have now passed into the "hat psychosis" phase of my hat problem.
That's a killer straw.
"ROSEBUD..."
Yeah... That'un deserves more head time. Wonderful.
Groovy hat. Fantastic photo of the sun shining through.
Dang...
All three rock.
Yes... HANDICAPPED HATS MATTER!
I am blue with envy.
Boy oh boy...
Gorgeous wool.
Thanks Mike.
I pulled it off quite well until I opened my mouth.
Welcome back.
You've got yourself one heck of a Borsalino Brotherhood there.
Yeah... That is a fantastic overwelt. I don't know if I have ever seen its like.
Wicked hat.
As one venerable member told me when I first came around... Most of it is "hatitude."
BE the hat... Have fun...
And remember...
I like that paisley pug Red. I have a couple of hats that could use new pugs, and I have some similar looking paisley fabric. May have to try my hand at one.
Awesome.
Tried my hand today at reshaping a brim on a western for the first time.
Happy Birthday, Esther!
Thanks Richard!
That makes it even more interesting to me. I bet it is nice felt too.Thanks fellas! It is indeed a Resistol in Pilgrim clothing.
Formease was trademarked by Byer-Rolnick in 1942.
I think you're the first person I've known of who smiled at the thought of Walmart and frowned at the thought of playing with the kids.Stopping by Walmart on the way home for the wife

That is an impressive hat by any standard, Matt. Imperial indeed.Heck of a day of hats in Loungeland. Good stuff...
