Straw hats

Thus endeth the career of the $15 Target cheapie. Assuming it's rightful place, a vintage Champ straw:

Nice hat ¡¡¡ to me, I believe wich the straw hats are special and beautiful, even more, when are hand woven, It looks fine.[huh] [huh]

Empire State Hats

Do you know anything about the empire state hat company? info on the lounge is limited (only two posts I can find reference it) I recently picked up a grey fedora that was made by them. It should be here next week I hope

I don't know anything other than the homburg I have. Mine is very nice, so I believe they were a maker of fine hats. Remember, Empire State Hats Tops 'Em All!

I look forward to seeing your pictures.

My Borsalino Grand Prix. I'd say from the mid to late 1940's. Super soft & pliable, but so dense that it makes a great winter hat.

Cheers!

I really, really like this one! Very nice hat DJ!

How would you describe the color on that one?

 

[DanielJones]

Thank you Neophyte! The color you see there in the image is surprisingly accurate. Sort of a rosy dark tan color.

Cheers!

Mallory Green and Puke

My green Mallory complete with puke colored ribbon and binding... I seriously love the color but it's rather grotesque looking.

Just like when you posted this hat in the Green Machine thread, I like it. I guess I'd have to see it in person, but the images you download make the hat look very nice!

Thank you, sir. I only notice how pukey the ribbon is when I look at it in photos. I'm considering a cleaning and reblock soon. My only drawback would be matching the ribbon/binding color.

Borsalinos are always classy hats.

Great look. You've got the guts! Fearless to blaze a new trail. Myself, I stick to traditional hats, but was wondering what else might work. So you've got a prime example.

Nice.
I've been on the look out for pliafelt in my size for a while now. The stuff is hard to come by. The only one I've handled is that lavender size 7 that's still sitting at my local antique mall, mocking me each time I visit.

My French, no wait.. American eBay purchase

my Chapeau Flechet that is "Made in the U.S.A."

for $18 shipped, I am a happy camper! (even though you can't tell by the picture)

Need a tie, but I'm satisfied with how Taupe Fawn goes with Burnt Orange, and how the latter goes with brown.

I desperately need a tan lol!
