Heathered? Cool looking blue and what a great crease.

Thanks WK! Yes, heathered with a stitched underwelt.

Hey folks!
Thanks for all the likes and kind words. Much appreciated.
It might not have the acreage of yesterday's Collins & Fairbanks, but this 40' Adam Premier Quality still casts a shadow.

Have a great day!

Stellar! Dig that ribbon. What happened to the pointed toes on your boots?

This Royal Stetson served its purpose today.

Wearing this '50s era refurbed Dobbs Fifth Avenue with an over welted brim that a fellow Lounger, who wishes to remain anonymous, gave me...I have more in the Conversion Corral.

As received...

After I refurbished it...

Nice job. The ribbon is great.

Despite my tired look, I wanted to get this new addition on top of my head as soon as possible, to show you guys. 40's Dobbs Rainbow, go to the Dobbs Diner thread for more of this. Happy Thursday fellas.

Hey, I've read that Pilgrims are a mix of hare and rabbit. I bought a hat with such a mix, and to me the felt was a little rough and did not want to obey instructions.
How is a Pilgrim's felt? I have been thinking of buying one, just to know I have one. Are they worth it? Wouldn't a hare/rabbit mix felt get wonky if it got wet?

Max, probably 90% or more of the vintage hats you see here are hare, rabbit or a mix. There just was not a commercial supply of beaver available in that time period. Just like with the hats today the difference in quality had more to do with the maker’s skill than with material. As for getting wonky, I bet that most of the really fine vintage (rabbit or hare) hats we love so much have gotten soaked at least a few times. We probably baby them more than necessary.

Feeling bossy today. The first public sighting of the new-to-me Mallory Ten "Commander."

Y'all on the coast take care and check your sump pumps!

Everyone should have a blue hat. Astor Hats...

Everyone should have a blue hat as nice as that one. If that’s not possible then I should have one

Damn...

Me likes very very much.

Very much appreciated from you, Matt, the Meister of classy lids!

Home run, Max! Right out of the park!

Steller conversion as always, Terry!

Stetson 6X

Love the brim and colors, Brent.

When it gets windy or rainy, I tend to reach for the Akubra Campdraft due to its indestructability or at least, the fact that it can be replaced.

Homage to Bob

Great for the rain, great homage to Bob.

It's a Pecan VS kinda day, I really like the finish on this hat....But starting to sprinkle out so might switch to the Akubra

Wow, what a show stopper. Vents, and no brim stitching? Inconceivable!

You sure are putting together a great collection, Mondo!

Another fine Champ, Richard.

Almost! There are handwritten notes under the sweat indicating this one was cleaned, and trimmed down to 2-1/2", although I measure it at 2-9/16!
