I started on guitar when I was 10, learned all my chords, open and barred,even some ninths, diminished, and augmenteds.I was attending some bluegrass festivals, in the early 80s, and most of the fun started at midnight. There was an abundance of guitar pickers, so I took up mandolin. No matter how crappy of a mandolin picker, you were welcome around campfires.

This one of my favorite Dobbs out there Michael. The condition is just superb.


That is the coolest label for a beret ever!!


Mission accomplished, you look great Christophe.


Justin, this is a museum piece! Did you swipe it from the Smithsonian or something?



Stunning Rodolfo! Love the owl pin.

Thanks Michael !!

Harv, Thanks! I forgot about this one but I decided to wear it yesterday. It does have a unique look.

Side note: Fritz Hückel wasn't interested in the hat business. He was an early automotive engineer (car design & production under the Hückel and Gnom) and was a pioneer of the European racing circuit (became the Grand Prix). He fled (to Bavaria) Czechoslovakia after WWII and financed a displaced Hückel workers startup in Weilheim, Germany.

Very nice Rudolfo

That is a gorgeous hat Steve, It's hard to make a black hat look that good but that ribbon does if for sure.



You guys with the Akubra's are tempting me. I only have a beatup CEO that I wear for a rain hat. May be time to expand my horizons.

Thanks Richard.

If you want to get an Akubra may I suggest that the best way to begin with might be getting a Call Pedy and a CD, why? If you buy from EA, Sam will charge almost the same for shipping one than two.

Also you can get wrong with the Coober Pedy in any color, even the black one rocks I love mine, and the CD's he's got it in Blue Grass Green, exclusive for EA, SB and Tawny.

Real nice hats, I believe this is the best you could get for that price.

Hell ya! That’s quite the hat.

Sometime you should consider a post on all your hat pins. I know it’s not everyones cup of tea, but like your hats there’s exquisite taste involved.

Thanks Fourman !!! Will do next week, at least I know my buddy @Redfokker will enjoy that post !!

I pushed out the factory "Gus" crown crease and modified the side dents into more of an early 1900s "sagebrush crown" style.

Really like what you've done there...

 

[Desert dog]

Damn I like that hat DD. Not a cattleman crease kind of guy, but this gets me closer.

Thanks Red!

When a hat looks that good on you why would you not wear it everyday? Cool to see and hear that you play the mandolin. My Dad played one all the time but, even though I tried to learn, I just don't have a musical bone in my body.

Thanks Bob, I enjoy the mandolin, although I'm not very good.

Wow! You have winter there, that ear muff hat is something I've needed here for a couple of weeks. Think I'll look for one.

So cool Steve! The history you provide of European hat makers, and now automotive pioneers is a pleasure to me. Just what I need, more research projects...oh look, a squirrel! Mmmmm, shiny object.

Great looking Snowy River Matt.

I tried to do the tapatalk thing with this image off my new phone yesterday. Ended sending it to myself. Thanks to @mmbarnes for the offer to help. When things slow down today I'm going to hit him up. Broken record hat...the Borsalino Gorascu "Angora" in Misto Grigio on the OSU campus. It is such a grand hat, even the non-hatted masses notice it!
