Inky blue homburg morning.

Cheers, Eric -

That is a fabulous color! What a hat!

 

[Steve1857]

Wow, that inky blue is just rinky dinky doo, Eric. Love the ribbon and brim binding contrast, too.

Inky blue homburg morning.

The felt sort of tells you what it wants.[/QUOTE]

That is so true, Brent. It's like the Zen of hats. You can go against the flow, but it's best to feel the Force

Cheers, Eric -

Very nice color, with that ribbon it almost looks like black cherry on my screen.

Good morning folks. I started out for a dog soirée before the sun rose wearing a Borsolino Misto. The lack of quality light to showcase the hat does not stop me from posting as this fedora is a favorite.

Thanks for taking a look at my Misto in the new day's light. A flock of crows are in the top of some nearby trees making a huge noise this early morning. Shhhh, the neighborhood is sleeping.

Best wishes, Eric -

A Borsalino Misto hat: no serious hat collection can do without one. That's a prime example there, Eric.

Very nice, Gary. The Habig especially.

Thanks, Stefan. They weren’t popular, but I like them shaggy.

You'd expect them to be more popular!

Lovely parade there, Jim. It would be unfair to pick a favourite.

Warm enough yet for straw. Out creek doggin’ with the “kids” and granddogs.

Apparently there are burl rustlers in these parts.

Other than the odd nicer day it's pretty much fall over here. Nice to be still wearing a straw, Bob.

Getting a little cool and windy this morning.

Champ Long Hair Black Heather
4 7/8 Crown as shaped
3/4 silver grosgrain mid ribbon
2 inch under welt brim

This medium/long hair black heather Champ came to me in a care package from our lounge friend Randy @Rmccamey It is an unusual but beautiful very soft and petable black felt with hints of white, blue, green, yellow and red heathered into the mix. Randy had Rick at Phoenix hats replace the ribbon with this silver mid ribbon. I think it was an excellent choice as it really makes it pop. Thank you to Randy for this Very cool hat.

Fabulous brim curve there, Perry.

To "celebrate" the hats made in wool today I wear a French product of the Seventies, rigorously made in wool.
View attachment 265321
I have a series of French hats from the 20s / 30s up to the 60s in pure wool
View attachment 265322
This comes from one of the centers of French headwear: Chazelles sur Lyon. It was built by "Chapeaux Renommes - Bouteille" a subcontractor who at the end of the hat-box industry in France branded his own products.
View attachment 265323
The shape is called "Luc" but it is an "alpine shape" with a very raised rear brim and a very typical shape of hats made on the Alps from whatever side they are seen
View attachment 265324
The wool allows the hatter
to make a beautiful heathered felt that varies from white to black with a series of grays in between
View attachment 265325 It is a low level hat with average finishes arrived new until these days.
Thanks a lot for the appreciation on "Morreton Liclon"
Have anice Monday

Some very nice things were done in wool in the past, Daniele. A nice heather and a cool ribbon on that one.

Good morning. Out and about this morning in a vintage Stetson Whippet (light gray).

Cheers on a brisk morning. Best, Eric -

It doesn't get much more classic than that. Love it.

Admiring some of my collection today (although my photography skills are somewhat lacking). On the left, a Jos. Mauerer bowler with a 5 1/2 crown, and on the right, a 1930's Knox bowler with a 4 3/4 crown.

View attachment 265334

Looks like the bowlers are beginning to stack up slowly but surely, Randy.

Light rain this morning so I put on my Cattleman in Fawn.

With it turning cooler I broke out my Snowy River in Sandtone Fawn

I keep forgetting how much I love the Sandtone Fawn. When I got this hat it was the most Australian hat I had ever seen. From the style to the colour. Nowadays the style is more universal western then Australian but I still love the way it looks.

Yes, this is an older one. The felt is pretty nice. I only paid @ $5 for it.

Some great US hats there, Stefan. I particularly love the green colours on the Adams.
