Wearing this Dunn & Co Hurr1cane Grey Fedora today. It was made by one of the great Manchester hat makers, T&W Lees of Denton sometime back in the 60's.

Thanks to Stefan @steur for this one :)

You’re well healed...and headed today, Eric.
I’ve enjoyed seeing your fine line of Whippets. Do you happen to own one in dove gray with a silver, or black band and silver binding? I’d sure like to see it, some time, if you do.
Think if I could get my noggin under a 40s model in those colors I’d just quit looking for another hat.
Bought a mint 50s 4x Quality Supreme Champ With gills in those colors yesterday just to ease the rabid craving. May even cure it. We’ll have to see.

Resistol Byer-Rolnick - Beaver Fifteen
Kitten Finish - Silver Grey
5 3/4 Open Crown - 5 inch as shaped
2 inch black grosgrain ribbon
2 1/4 brim with wide Cavanagh edge
Wind Trolley

As excited as I am to be watching the return of NFL football tonight... I am equally excited to be wearing This 1950s Byer-Rolnick Resistol- Self Conforming Beaver Fifteen with luxurious Kitten Finish In a beautiful light silver came highly recommended by @Randall Renshaw. And boy was he correct. The texture of felt is about as soft and plush as you can get without being a velour. It molds in your hands with ease. The 2 1/4 brim definitely hits a sweet spot for me and it features a beautiful nice wide Cavanagh edge. The oil skin liner is pointing me to 1950s vintage. The sweat appears to be in nice shape and is still malleable. The proportions are fantastic with its ample brim and 2 inch ribbon. This one is in fabulous almost minty condition. It even possessed the original care pamphlet and the managers card from the store it was sold at. This is one excellent hat for sure. If I was ever forced to drop my collection to just one hat... this one would be definitely be in the running.... Both for its beauty and versatility. It hits a sweet spot for me in styling that this could be an everyday hat to wear from the most casual of casual to formal.
