Very nice Randall. Looks good on you.View attachment 227842 Two tone modern Dobbs I got last week thanks to a tip from Joe @Blare
Have a good day, FL.
Thank you again... really enjoying it.very nice! I had wanted to compare it to my '50's Dobbs twenty, but of course they're pretty much the same color, I think mine is Cordova, and the same measurements. What really endeared me to the hat was that it was from close to the home area. Glad that you are diggin' it, you wear it well.
Boxing up felt hats and moving straw hats out front. I realized I only wore this Borsalino Mimosa once since I bought it; it deserves more.

Hells Bells Jonesy.Sported a not so vintage big Stetson Western on my daily masked Corona crawl down the hill and along the coastal path. I gotta find a truly vintage big Western hat next.

Wow!Dog soiree this morning in a Champ thin ribbon big brimmed hat.
Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -
Beautiful, Greg. The way that raw edge brim is curled is an art that is all but lost.
Ken, is that you in there?Been self quarantined so not much hat wearing lately. Hope everyone is safe and virus free.... The Lonestar Dude is abiding.

I knew I was going to like this week, Steve. Another cool hat.Janyška "Parga" possibly late 1930s early 1940s. The black felt on this hat is of a heavier weight so most likely worn without side dents. This hat is from my May 2016 NOS Czech find.
This week I will highlight Janyška & Cie. from Czechoslovakia. Janyška & Cie. was started in the 1920s in Valašské Meziříčí – Krásno about 25 km from Nový Jičín (location of JHS, BB, AP). Janyška & Cie. was a Czech company based on Austrian hat tradition. Janyška & Cie. became Tonak Factory 2 post WWII and the factory was closed 1961.
Janyška & Cie. possibly 1930s.
Nice hat, Alan. Enough exercise for now; now back with the kid to learn how to make hat liners!View attachment 227737 Dragged the kid out for some exercise with me. Made it about 4 miles. Silverbelly VS went along for the ride. We saw about a half dozen cars the entire walk. That’s pretty insane considering we live in a city. Anyway, y’all stay safe.
Very nice. I don't immediately associate Pilgrim with bowlers.I decided on a Pilgrim. Morefelt bowler to wear with my quarantine facial scruff.
That one gets the stamp of approval right away, Joe.30 Days to 30 Hats - Day 14

Knox Twenty - Chocolate Brown
4 1/2 Crown as bashed
2 inch Brown Grosgrain Ribbon with back bow
2 1/4 brim with Cavanagh Edge
Oilskin liner tip
This one arrived today thanks to a much appreciated tip by fellow lounge member @georgie girl. I’ve been looking for a brown hat with similar dimensions for a bit as I love my black Dobbs very close in size to this. This one with its back bow and oilskin liner seem to point to 1950s vintage... and I think it’s manufacturer tag also supports that theory. The grosgrain ribbon appears to be a matching brown color.. though the grosgrain ribs can give it a grayish look depending on the light.
I will name this one after location of the store it was originally sold at and one of my wife’s favorite Garth Brooks songs... Tacoma
This one will climb very quickly on my favorite hats list.

Good looks will get you quite a long way, Randall!A late entry for #14
My Knox-off Strat clone. There’s nothing authentic about this hat except for its good looks.

Thanks StefanKen, is that you in there?

+1Beautiful, Greg. The way that raw edge brim is curled is an art that is all but lost.
Isn't madness just a state of mind? And thanks, the Borsalino is rating highly with me, too.Very nice hats both, Roger.
Thanks, Michael. I would have thought having this many was just one step beyond; madness really.
Going strong, Joe. The brim has some attitude on that one.
Fantastic, Steve. This is going to be a good week! Looking forward to the others.
Very nice, Perry. Wonderful combination with that mid-ribbon.
Excellent hats both!
Steadily rising to rival the blue Marathon, Michael.
Another great pair from the Collezione Inglese.Into the second week of Englsih hats with these two.

Thanks Stefan. I didn't think I'd be wearing sheepskin again this year. I'm sure the OR will see good head time.A good day to wear some cool felt and a wonderful coat, Michael.
Thanks Stefan. The hat's really nothing to write home about, in line with a modern Scala. I think Sears slapped the brand on whatever unbranded dogies landed in their rope. I have a very nice OR clone early enough to have a natural reed in the sweatband. I also had a cattleman creased Pilgrim Western of coarse wool with a yellow tip sticker featuring a bucking horse I've run across before as well as Roll-Ease Brim stamped on the faux leather sweatband. The felt is now in a bag with some others I may or may not reblock (plans change) into a line for cheapskates. I did retrieve a nice 6 ply ribbon and color matched brim binding from it at least.Very nice. I don't immediately associate Pilgrim with bowlers.
Enjoying the continuation of English week. The Attaboy is cool... but also good thing the branding is on the inside as it may also come with a swift smack on the backside. Probably incompatible with social distancing AND Me too!We're getting there with the extended English week.
