Went for my daily masked Corona crawl in what I was told is a 70s Stetson 5X. Not too sure what it really is, but I like the color.

Lovely hat and great brim dimensions for you. Cheers to #16.

Checking in, hope everyone is safe and well. The Bay Area is - knock on wood - beginning to see the fruits of our social distancing and stay at home policies. Meanwhile, plenty of time of to hand sew some face masks for essential outings. Stepped out in my Optimo Dillinger today.

Good to see your post. Glad you are safe and well. The Optimo makes my heart flutter when you post it. Love the glorious hued felt.

Well, kinda.
Conversion done a while back.
I recently successfully bleached the rust spots out of the liner. This one had the worst and most brown spotting of any hat hat I’ve ever seen. Regular cleaning wouldn’t work, so I reluctantly took out the sewn in liner and scrubbed it with bleach and a toothbrush being extra careful not to get bleach on the color logo. Once dry it was ironed then sprayed with ironing starch then left to dry draped over a plastic bowl. Then ironed again and put back in the crown.

Thanks go out to everyone today who commented and liked #15 Mallory!
If you remember, that’s the one I got on a trade from @Frunobulax

You have skills man! I will have to work on a couple of liners today using your recipe. Cheers.

Janyška Velour possibly late 1930s early 1940s. The model name is blurred on the paper label so I can't make it out. The Velour is fantastic and very much like JHS Seal Velour.

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.

Steve your Janyška Velour is very special. In a bit I am going back to see your post with the seal and other velours on the Comparison thread. Love this Czechoslovakian fedora. Classy and different.

Took the kids and my Campdraft out to the back yard today. After 3 attempts at shaping, I finally got it looking the way I like it. View attachment 228278 View attachment 228279

Campdrafts are make for walking and adventures. You look sharp.

Thanks, B. Man I’m slow. Thought it was still Monday. Dining fine, just cabin fever now.

Thank you, Randy. The Battersby is one of my favourite black Homburgs.

Wow, both of you really came up with some terrifically proportioned hats with great brim curls!

My long haired English Woodrow today. That's my youngest daughter intentionally photo-bombing behind me. She thinks my hat selfies are a hoot

I wore it as a little homage to Stefan's wonderful English hats. Actually, I bought this one from him.

 

[Hagwood]

A Champ stingy today. While researching the store it was sold from a ran across a little pocketknife on ebay with their name on it. Had to have it. It seems back in the day Belk would partner with local merchants to open stores, hence the Belk-Broome name:

Thanks, Joe. I think it is a bit older. T&W Lees did keep this colour around for a while though.

She might be posting for herself here in the future; quality hats are bound to have an effect. Good to see you and the Woodrow, Steve. Like the Battersby another example of fine English hatmaking.

The advertisement, knife and hat are truly cool! Over the years I have accumulated a few of the magazine ads. I rotate different fedora/vintage advertisements in the frames in my wardrobe. The older magazine ads are grand nostalgia. The hyperbole filled ad copy that is fun to read.

Yesterday evening I was out and about in an oldster Stetson Whippet. It has the unique offset edge ribbon treatment were the bottom ribbon is bigger than the top. The sweat is just a truly soft and maleable leather. This old Whippet has a terrific quality sweat for a Royal version. The felt is off the best. It rivals Turf Club or Custom V's of the same age. This particular hat has a brim felt stain that I need to address. How? I have no idea yet. The entire hat was white gas bathed a while back. I will have to look up a few threads to see for alternatives. The flange is curious. It has a different flange as it is much more curvaceous than more modern( 40-60's) Whippets. The flange is in the mode of the 30's Stetson Scoop that I have. Very scooped in back and big snap in front. In any case it is a great example that the Whippet model of Stetson was offered for many years and they are definitely NOT the same.

This morning my long walk-about was made wearing a VS thin ribbon in sage beaver. This was inspired by the Stetson Stratoliner (a hat of mine from the 40's). The sage green is unique and I really like it.

I included a shot of one of the eagle families. The shot was taken after the eagle picked up something from the river and flew it to the roost.

Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -
