Everybody needs a good beater (or two). We haven't seen that one before, have we, Steve?

Beautiful colour and great shape, Greg. I'm not all that keen on cattleman creases, but that's perfect for that hat.

Thanks, Stefan. It is a well executed cattleman crease that I had nothing to do with. Don’t be afraid of the cattleman.

Thanks, Stefan. I posted it just around the summer holidays, but it's one easily forgotten despite its interesting hat industry history.

Nice hat. Almost a "western" look to it.

"Bellona" Back Bow possibly late 1920s. No company mark but definitely a German made Wool Soft Felt Hat. I have (Stefan has a couple too) a few Wool Soft Felt Hats from this source (similar paper labels) but can't figure out the company that made them.

It was Héctor, but just a short one between Elsinore, where I live, to Copenhagen where I used to live.

Everything about that one is classic, Cuz! Any more info on that jacket around here? Seriously admiring that blanket lining.

A real beauty, Alan. That felt is luxurious in both texture and color...and pairs perfectly with your coat. Stay warm up there.

Furry Bacon! That just doesn't sound right. This was a gift from Bowen, and in this case, I like furry Bacon!

New to me Banana Republic (pretty sure it is a Beaver Brand hat).

Nice find, Bob. The vents are cool....in more ways than one.

Flew my new Stratoliner on a Boeing over to Maui for a few days. Didn’t see any onions.

7 5/8 LO, Bob?
Or are you faking it?
Looking good either way.

Well, I guess I know what hat I won't be wearing today...... had just steamed and shaped it. Left in on the upstairs gameroom table then went to watch a movie in the theater room. Came out to find pup pup with a mouthful of straw. <sigh> the look on my face scared the crap out of her and she took off running, smart. I needed a few minutes to regain my composure . Guess I have a new Jed Clampet hat.

I like it a lot! I'm a sucker for short brim fedoras. I'll say 50% of my vintage stock is short brimmed hats.

It looks great and a gorgeous combination with the jacket.

Funny how an Open Road takes on a completely different character when it doesn't have the usual cattleman's crease. Great colour too, Michael.

Thanks Stefan. This one does seem to be a somewhat uncommon color for an OR. I don't much wear them with a cattleman.

My hats made it back after sitting on my hatter's bench a good year. Happy days. Reason to start wearing them one by one.
But first one I changed the ribbon on myself.

Both are woolfelt hats. They could be done right by the capable hatters of yesteryear.

Pretty fine looking wool hats. I think I've only found one wool felt that I thought looked comparable to a fur felt.

Mighty nice one, Michael!

Thanks Dale. I've been enjoying your hat show the last few days. And the family pics.

Thanks all,
Michael
