A great quattro, Stefan. As usual with your posts, I'm pointing at each hat saying, I want that one and that one and that one, oh, and that one

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

We'll take Italian week into 2021.

Happy New Year, my dear fellow Loungers! I have truly enjoyed our exchanges; and all of your wonderful hat postings throughout this past year. They were a pleasant diversion from the stress, heartache, and pressures of a turbulent deadly 2020.

A new experiment with winter white.

Enjoying the first measurable snow in 5 years here in my part of Central Texas. Two to three inch coverage overnight. After noon now and at 39F, most of it is already gone. The first snow on New Years day anyone around here can remember. Wearing my blue grey Sovereign Twenty to check out things around the house.

That Sovereign sure goes good with snow Randy. Though I’m sure it goes well with just about anything. Looking great. Happy New Year.

Super experiment, Reggie. Love the t-shirt.

Happy New and better Year to you and yours.

Thank you, gents, my snow won't last long...thank goodness! We usually get ice, so only snow is actually a treat!

Super Sovereign, Randy. I can't say the same about the snow. Stay warm, my friend.

Not to let a good snow go to waste, I had to break out the 1930-stamped Knox bowler for a stroll around the fence line.

I can now see the meaning of the snowfall in Texas, Randy. It really brings out the beauty of that Knox Bowler.

Feeding cows and letting the dogs play this morning. Maddie (a Pyrenees) and Fergus (a black Lab) having fun in the snow as I watch their antics in my workhorse Beaver Brand OR clone in Adobe.

Man, Randy, snow in central Texas.
And I had to check to see if I left the heater on last night because I was so hot. Hadn’t been on for a day or two.
No joke.
Nice Twenty and Work Horse and Knox!

The Whippet vs. Hanover Square comparo that I promised:
These hats are more alike than different. The composition of the fur and the hand seem to be exactly alike. The only differences being the Dobbs has a 2” ribbon and the Stetson 1 3/4”.
The bow on the Dobbs is doubled up on the trailing end and of course, the brown colors are lighter and also sports a wind trolley. Other than that—same in every way.
I imagine this Whippet will end up with a matching wind trolley sewn on in a week or so. Don’t want the Stetson to suffer wind trolley envy.

You may see a newly transplanted young pecan tree behind me in the Dobbs pic. While shaving my dirt road, the county grader operator ran it over with the blade where it was in the front yard.
Maybe it’ll make it, but I kinda doubt it.

Couple of beautiful hats Randall.

New Year... New Stetson....
Stephen L Stetson - Never Connected in ANY Way

Stephen L Stetson - Olympic Quality - Graphic
4 1/2 crown as shaped (about 5 1/4 open)
1 inch black grosgrain ribbon
2 1/4 brim with 1/8 grosgrain binding

Stetson.. Stephen L Stetson. I’ve had a hankering for one of these SLS hats since I believe I saw @Redfokker post about his and the Stephen L Stetson story. @Randall Renshaw alerted me to this one a few weeks back and I couldn’t pass it up. A lot for me to like about this hat. Proportions work great... the felt feels very good in hand and responds very well. It includes the Never Connected in Any Way liner disclaimer and also features the unique Carter Trademark Detachable leather sweat system. The manufacturing tag lists the model or color as Graphic.... I couldn’t get a good photo of the whole tag as it is pinned in under the Carter detachable sweat buttons. Taking a guess at 1950s on this one with plastic liner tip protector.

 

[Randall Renshaw]

Awesome!! Looks great on you, Joe!

I like that one a lot @Dlaniger. What model Stetson is that?

A great pair of hats, Randall.

Looks GREAT Gary! I REALLY like this one on you!

Thanks, Joe.
As I mentioned in the New Hats thread, I was a little surprised by the size of the crown. I may well have asked for it to be reduced by a centimetre (as my wife did for hers) had I realised how big it was. I’m glad I didn’t. I’m very happy with it as it is. I’ll probably be wearing it again today.

Hatsumode (the first visit to a shrine in the New Year) in our new hats.

Saying goodbye to the year of the rat...

...and welcoming the year of the ox.

And back home for some more photos...

More photographic proof that these hats are perfect for the two if you. As if they were made for you :snicker:
