I like everything about this , Perry. Topped off with a GREAT hat!

We got a couple inches of snow yesterday afternoon. Red got freezing rain just south of my gps cord's. No precip here today so I picked my still new Penman custom steel fedora. Love this baby.

Yes, the entire valley is paralyzed by 1" of snow. I know most of you Mid-West folks are probably spitting out your breakfast in fit of laughter! We had about a 1/4" of frozen rain glazing everything though. I just sat here watching the Portland Bumper Car Championships on TV. I still love that bow treatment Dennis, keep posting this hat I love it.

1930s Bergen Hatters. One of the more unique hats that hangs out at my place.

Out and about wearing my green tube hat made of wool braid sewn on a straw hat sewing machine. The first pic with my friend Nina and the second with a chubby admiror.

A stop at Barcelona's oldest hat establiment "Sombrerería Mil" www.sombrereriamil.com

And adding this Borsalino umbrella to my wishlist...

Congratulations everyone on your choice of hats today!

Loving that Biskup, Perry. Another new name on me!

Getting this in early today

Stetson Sovereign Twenty Mode Edge

I so liked Moon's center dent on his I went with it on mine

Such a beauty, Tommy. Your bashing skills are unmatched.

It warmed up above 0'F and the dogs and I have been out for a walk. A Cordova Cap went with under my down hood.

Best, Eric -

I've wanted one of these caps for some time now. Looks really good on you Eric!

OK You really have got me going with this one! This hat, besides being a significant historical artifact in your collection, is perhaps the best hat for a public "head turner" anyone could own. This cool one makes even a greater impact that a classic bowler when out in public among the unhatted masses. Not one of them could let this hat pass without at least a look of wonder. I again, doff my humble chapeau to this beauty!

Everyone's looking great!
D'Aquino mull-burg today. Gonna rock my ewok ears tonight for the Star Wars premiere =)

They seem to be coming from under the woodwork, there was a time when it was very difficult to get a block made... I stick to vintage blocks from eBay Germany, it's my undoing... Having said that, I've heard bad things about the Spanish guy, mostly because if you tell him to copy somebody elses signature hat shape he has no compunction doing so... ah well...


Beautiful hat @Celia I know the feeling, some felts just beg to be stroked! From what I see on their website Mühlbauer has been making hats since 1903, but I get the feeling it was women's hats, which explains why @mayserwegener cannot find them on the trade guide from the twenties. I wonder what the date is on yours.

Here is an interesting video (2001 but some parts seem older and in German) from Mayser (see below). I am not sure if they still have this department in Lindenberg (they moved production to Slovakia in 2011) but it's interesting to see the process plus making metal machine forms (this is for women's hats). Wood Blocks used by machines had to made to a different standard. Now most Felt Hats are machined formed. I know someone that can tell me more about the current situation.

I don't recall coming across any Mühlbauer men's vintage hats. I have some copies of "Österreichisch Hutmacher Zeitung" so I will take look through them.

Thanks guys for the comments and likes on yesterday's Stetson 100.

I get so far behind that I just can't keep up with all the posts. Nice to see some new faces taking part though.

BSHW for me this morning.

Cheers!
David

Great color David

Biskup liner

Not only is that liner pristine, it has a very unique and unusual branding for us all to enjoy. Impressive Perry!

Windy and cold

This hat suits you well Harv! Looks like it will keep the wind off!

I do like this hat. It is a classic look.

Neat to see... I'm guessing you've found the Lounge link to some other examples.

Is there some provenance that leads you believe it is from the 1930s?

 

[Redfokker]

Woohoo, it's zoomed up to 0.5 degrees. For the moment Resistol

Testing it to see if it's enough hat for my trips today.

The pained expression on my face seems to indicate that it is not faring well.

Not at all sure why I gave my brother-in-law my Tilley Winter hat when he was on his way to a month and a half in Florida.

So many fine hats today. Enjoy.

Even if that wonderful hat doesn't keep you warm, everything else you are wearing should. Man up.

The fur hats are from the barber for a trim the weekly growth and apologize.
They have promised that they will show next week
I take my cue from Steve and wearing an old homburg in wool

It was manufactured by Cappellificio Monzese in the capital of wool in Italy: Monza

It certainly has a consistency and quality in wool felt unobtainable today

For all lovers of homburg here's a product that still has life in spite of the wool and probably seventy years and still going strong

Thanks for your warm appreciations on fur Italian hats, now at rest in the barbershop

Spectacular, Dan!!! Love to see what could be done with wool. That's a genuinely beautiful example, right there!
Since your fuzzy pets are at the groomer, I hauled out my cold weather special, also in need of a trim!

Great hat, a real head turner! I think we all want Santa to bring us one of those umbrellas! Really cool!
