So here’s the story. I was helping my daughter design her wedding invitation and was explaining how to incorporate designs into letters. I drew up the capital F with the fedora as part of it for an example. I kinda liked it so I made this graphic.

I wanted to have it stitched on a polo but my wife said I have too many polos. So I choose some colors and and had it embroidered on a tee.

I’m not completely satisfied as it is. I think it should be a tad larger and if I do another I will most likely put it on a polo.

Here are a few others I’ve done.

Working on another idea for a logo this morning. Any suggestions?

Fantastic color on the Lees, but the Attaboy has to take the day on name alone.

That Idorsca is gorgeous Michael.
Thanks. It is a fine hat. Glad it came my way.

Great cap, Fabio. And fantastic coat. That is a gem.

More nice ones Stefan. I'm seeing brands I've never heard of.

More to add to the search list (My Wife will Thank You).
Thanks, Tim. I think it's best for me to not be home when your wife comes to "thank" me in person!

Good to see it out in the sunshine, Tim.

Stefan, Thanks! Great to see your English Hat series going strong!
Thank you, Steve. Almost there.

Janyška "Parga" possibly late 1930s early 1940s. A very nice shade of brown with a Chamois like felt finish. The hat has a unique narrow sweatband. Unfortunately the gold dye must have a high concentration of copper which has oxidized with wear. Unfortunately this is not uncommon for the time period. 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.

It didn't work for me either! Still hanging on to it though; you never know. Very nice, Randall.
