It didn’t reach the 90s today. So I pull out a vintage green Champ.

Wonderful hat, Bill. You have so many cool ones.

Manstyle glen plaid fedora with chocolate brown felt band. "Manstyle" was the men's brand for Belk Department stores in the southeast until sometime in the 1980s. Still hot here but it's after Labor Day so I have to start weening off the straws.

Early morning walk with my dog and a Borsalino marque grand luxe

A beauty, Jeff. And in my size too! Now you have me wanting to buy more hats all over again!

Nice morning for a Royal Stetson Open Road.

Off for the grocery shopping soon. In some Harris Tweed and a Pendleton. Ah, cool weather.

Nice hat and nice tweeds too, Michael. You're ready for autumn.

I now believe it's also the difference in the color with the hat being a lighter color than the ribbon. The ribbon on the Stetson blends into the hat color. "and that's the rest of the story" .

The crown on your Stetson ( did you say Chatham?) is undoubtedly more tapered than your Camp Draft. The CD has a tall, straight crown. Keep wearing it most of us have come to prefer that.

Even though it will be warm this afternoon, I went with the classic Portis "the New Slant" from the mid to late 50s today. Meeting across campus, this should be a nice hat for the walk.

That's a nice one for any occasion, Mike.

My new Whippet. I brushed, cleaned, and steamed it, but the ribbon is discolored. I will have to replace it, I guess.

Cool hat, Max. Sometimes there's nothing for it but to replace the ribbon. They tend not to clean up after a certain point.

Back to school. Capturing the colors of this hat is a tough homework assignment. Think a hat to wear with scrubs.

Whatever the colour is: I like it.

It's actually a Federation IV Deluxe and I've been forming the crown to my liking. I honestly think it's the contrast colors of the hat and the ribbon that gives it the belief it sit's high on the head. I can see the taper difference still applies to the Federation.

You are correct and that is the reason, no taper, for it looking like a stovepipe on my head.

Not quite Inspector Clouseau, but a really nice hat anyway. Do you have a trench coat to go with it?

Is all the art work Vargas?

Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

some is Vargas and some are George Petty. both are my two favorite pinup artists! I have an extensive collection of period calendar sheets and artist's proofs. the proofs are the sheets that weren't folded and stapled into Esquire and True Magazines nor did they have printing on the reverse side. these were typically sent to the boys overseas where they were taped, pinned or stapled to walls or folded up into their pockets so very few exist today in perfect condition but I was able to find a few of those.

 

[Edward Reed]

Very impressive Edward, I would love to see more of your collection. That B-2 cap is really something special. What do the insides look like? Tags?

thanks! its in really great condition. the shearling is getting a touch thin in some areas that sit snug on the head but its still all there anyway. I have a Bancroft Flighter Crusher and a lesser known company crusher as well but they are just for display. don't want to wear those out as I might get strange looks! lol!

Mayser "Torry" possibly later 1950s.

You can't beat that: longhair finish and gills too. Gorgeous.

 

[Desert dog]

What a beautiful finish! The bow is very nice also. I notice a variety of beautiful finishes on your German and Austrian hats.
