Thanks Desert dog!

Yup

Have you posted close-ups of the edge elsewhere? Where? I'd like to see them. If not, will you oblige?
It's an extraordinary hat.

Very nice Lee. it looks sage on my screen, is it?

Thanjs Richard!
A shade or two darker green than sage IMO (I'm going by the herb, not a color chart), but with the chamois finish it can vary a lot depending on the light.

Oh yeah, I'd trade you in a heartbeat. I live the in the San Joaquin Valley and I hate it. I retiring to Washington (state) and every summer I escape the heat and vacation in British Columbia. The cost of living is the only redeeming quality of where I live. Nowhere near as nice, or as expensive, as Palo Alto.

LOL, my dad sold our house in 1987... surefire way to drive my dad, a man of few words, crazy is to say "doncha wish you held on to that house for a few more years before you sold it...!" We were in Westlake by LA before. I remember it was hot down there...

Amongst other things that's a perfect ribbon width.

Thanks, It has good proportions this one, and the felt is interesting, medium thick but light.

C'est l'automne, le temps du diplomatique

Antonin France Chapeau del Luxe

Today fog and some cold, the right time for a homburg made in France probably in the forties

Soft felt in a very delicate nuance of brown, without lining, only a patch into the crown

Buon giovedì
Many, many thanks for all the likes on the Borsalino "Corteccia"

FANTASTIC! You really impressed the heck out of me with this one, Daniele! A perfect Homburg!

In honor of Matt's triumphant return to the fold, I decided to brave the rain today in the Mallory Ten homburg he sent my way.

A fitting tribute, to be sure!

Why thank you.

really nice hat, similar colour to a Panizza i have perhaps, I like the understated mono look, and with that nice stitching and wind lassoo, really nice.

Thanks Karl! I was quite pleased with the color, it looked browner in the sellers pics.

Yup

Well then thanks Bob!

Thanks mmb!
I posted in the Lee thread but I'll post one here in a bit.

Wow that a way cool hat. Have you worn anything post WWII recently?

Not recently, I only own around 3 Post-WWII Hats if I remember correctly

As promised.

Out if all my felted edge hats, this one is by far the lowest profile welt. So slight of a bump that when I first pulled it out of the shipping box it looked to me (with my poor vision) like someone had removed a brim binding. It was only when I felt it that I realized what it was.

is that a felted edge or a ghost stitch welt ?

No, thank YOU!

Yes sir.
Now to find a Gold Label...

I can't feel any evidence of stitching, so I think it's felted.

So many great hats today. For me, the ambiguous Wormser shown in some different lights. If the brim on this were any stiffer, Odd Job could have used it.

Running errands in the NW Hats conversion western-> Outback. Cold, wet, rainy, high of 58F today.

I got a call from the manager today offering me the position. Looks like I'll have the responsibility for all the required paperwork on firearms transfers for a huge Cabelas store... plus an employee discount, hehehe. Kid in a candy store... yikes!

Looks great, Richard.

Scott has worked on several of my hats. He does a great job.
