Arno Weiske opera hat... modeling for my students again.

This 3X whippet is very special, It's a bit like 2018 Stetson whippet.
Crown is not that good when I get it, but now it's perfect, after I reblocked it.

 

[Rmccamey]

I like your style, Reggie.

Another hat formed by machines as theme of the week

This is a wonderful example of preformed and fairly well finished felt with a "suede" finish from the historic Panizza - Ghiffa factory on Lago Maggiore.

They are, like the others presented in the theme of the week, facing hats that are the production of the waning Italian industry.

The linings, beautiful, are glued, the sweatbands of medium quality, the felt is often of excellent quality.

This Panizza De Luxe size 60 cm. or 7 1/2 US is in medium gray felt with a very malleable suede finish and with tone on tone ribbon and raw brim.

I wish you a happy Thursday.
Thanks for the likes and congratulations to all of you for the variety and quality of your hats.

I like your style, Reggie.

Thank you, Randy!

An absolutely perfect example of white tie attire, Fabio.

Another of my thin ribbon conversions. This was originally a red liner Bradford Western, possibly late '50s - early 60s era.

Also featured is a neighborhood cat that adopted me.

...and a little Rock a Billy from Johnny Cash with Luther Perkins on the Fender Esquire

Welcome, Huang. That is a fantastic looking Whippet. I like the reddish-brown color contrast of the ribbon and brim binding to the brown felt and, of course, the complimentary accent feather for the finishing touch. Well done.

Akubra Campdraft Deluxe today, and I must say, the binding of the CD matches the color of this ATF First Pattern Tanker jacket.

Indeed they do match excellent pairing, and welcome to the Lounge.

Nice one, Bob! Excellent shirt, too!

Thank you, You got the detail, I choose this wine red feather to match the wine red ribbon.

Happy thanksgiving!
Late 40s 3X Stetson Tijuana. Learned the name of this hat from @rclark .
Thanks!
Super light malleable felt on this one.
Got it for less than the new asking price.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

I was avoiding the delicious smells filling our house with the Thanksgiving foods being cooked and went for a stroll through the nearby woods. I wore the Gannon Wanderer in silvermist with charcoal trimmings for my walkabout.

Cheers fellows.

Best, Eric -

I agree with Reggie: this is how white tie is done. I don’t appreciate modern spins or reinterpretations of formal attire. Simple, elegant, and in complete harmony. I wish I had opportunity to occasionally wear formal attire.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
