Great look, Ken. I haven't heard of that film but will definitely check it out. Edward Norton is a favourite of mine.This cold wet morning it's a vintage Playboy & Peacoat. In honor or my favorite film of the year..."Motherless Brooklyn". Written and produced by Edward Norton, an excellent gumshoe movie that is all about the hat. If you've seen it you'll understand and if you haven't you're missing an awesome film noir movie.

Had to dust off my #810 flange and do a third reflanging on my Bark Brown Stagecoach conversion. I wasn't quite satisfied with the looks of the other two different flanges for the brim style I was trying to accomplish on this hat. Third time's a charm, I always heard. After this one I'm going to have to take a break from doing conversions for the next several weeks until I get my back straightened around with more PT that I have scheduled.
This hat sports a very tall and vertical crown in a longhair finish...
The back shows how straight sided this hat is.
A better look at the bow work...(1 1/2 black ribbon)

What a wonderful surprise today! Our good friend in the Netherlands, Stefan Steur sent me a "get well" hat. My first Top Hat! This topper is made of silk and linen with a luster finish. Not sure of who made it, I assume it is Continental in origin. The liner is not much help, with no other markings. Fits like a glove. Made my day for sure!

Barbisio Qualità Extra. Too dull, damp and dark outside again today, so inside photos yet again.

Yet another great 30s Hückel, Steve. Standout velour and super ribbon treatment and contrast. You wear it well.Johann Hückel´s Söhne Standard "Crystall Velour" possibly mid to later 1930s.
You're too kind, my friend. Thank you [emoji145]You are quite the handsome man, Steve, and the hat makes the package complete. Very nice, sir.
Thank you, Joe!Looks great Terry!
Best,
Joe
