That is Gorgeous, Eric! What a color! Does the ribbon have a slight violet cast to it?Good morning. Overcast with a storm advisory hanging over my head for the afternoon, I am out and about in my vtg. Stetson Sovereign Twenty. I have to get outside chores done now as the wet snow will be immediately followed by the effects of a polar vortex. Lovely green felt.
Best, Eric -
Good to see your shining face. Hope you are feeling better. Love the pebbled texture on the hat band. Yay Esther!
Love that bash! Such a beautiful hat 40!
Violet shade - Yes it does. I have a couple of vtg. hats from this era and the ribbons have faded and have the gorgeous violet undertones. They were different colors as told by peering under the tacked down ribbon and seeing the original ribbon. I prefer this color to the original.
The arctic cold does not deter you from rocking a great shirt though!
That second detail shot really shows the great color of this Stetson. Very impressive!Good morning. Overcast with a storm advisory hanging over my head for the afternoon, I am out and about in my vtg. Stetson Sovereign Twenty.

Barbisio Titan in medium burnt brown hair
Felt of excellent quality and superb finishes for a Barbisio hat historical production
I was lucky and it came new together with some great brothers
Like all finished felts with medium and long hair the color changes depending on the position of the sun
Good first Monday, 2017 to all
And as always, thanks for your kindness in evaluating the long haired green Guerra 1855
What a nice green shade, it looks like velvet, also the blonde Hair-burgundy pullover combo is not bad at all !!
ah ... forgot about that one ... great hat indeedToday I'm wearing an almost forgotten hat I got from moon. It's gotta be a Strat clone. 2.5" brim.

I do like that ribbon on the Champ, champ! Do you think it is original to the hat. Really different.Damp and chill this morning. Hopefully the Champ will keep my head away from the cold and ice crystals.
Seems like another fine hat day here.
Enjoy.
Michael
Super Hommie Blue. Love the color and that liner logo is so cool!Vintage Locke & Co homburg, imported for Brooks Brothers:
Not sure what year... The original price tag of $25.00 and the way the lining is stitched in lead me to suspect this is 1960's. If only the monogram was an M instead of a D!!
The feeling is mutual, Anthony. Thank you!
Great color on this one Roger! It is nice enough to be in the regular rotation!Today I'm wearing an almost forgotten hat I got from moon. It's gotta be a Strat clone. 2.5" brim.
