Wow that is some hat Steve!I'm waiting for a bit of sunshine or at least lighter skies to be able to post some hats I recently acquired from Panos @PanosChris.
In the meantime, I'll post this fluffy, green giant of a Fléchet. It's definitely not a stingy. I'm sure I'll never dare to wear it outdoors. Well, maybe on St. Patrick's Day
Like it's previous owner in Oslo, I can't stop petting this one. View attachment 290576 View attachment 290577 View attachment 290578 View attachment 290579
Thanks, Daniele!Molto bello. I like blue homburg, this is an elegant one
I should also mention that's a beautiful hat, Steve. Please tell me you'll wear it out at least once, and not just on March 17.

I certainly don’t have so many that I can forget such a super nice Gorusgu; yellow tag, or no. Though that’d be a nice problem to have, Alan! @alanfgag

Here’s a dark blue, mint 40s Wormser burg that I probably won’t forget:

It was only a matter of time until Mike broke out his Stingy Brim back bows... and did it in style! Merry StingyMas!On the fifth day of Stingymas, my true love gave to me (or more accurately, let me have, but I digress)... Five Stingy Back Bows
Oh darn, I only have 4 of this style! Have to remedy that soon. I do have an affinity for these late 1950s slim brim hats. I like that they can be dated to the period 1955-1959. The list includes, two Lee hats, a brown Jet model and gray Smart Lee. A Stetson Royal Deluxe pork pie style, and a Mallory Aristocrat. Since all major makers produced this style in the late 50s a suitable Portis, Knox or Dobbs should not be hard to find. The five golden rings!

Thanks, Steve!A beautiful blue Wormser, Randall. You can really rock those stiff felts, my friend.
Thanks Jim. I have no ideas where the "Alexander" was made, but it seems far from English manufacturers. If you have some pictures of the Alexander US made please show, so I can make a confontation
What, did it cool down to 75 deg.?50s OR today, because it definitely isn't straw hat weather anymore
