I often wonder if a gas bath would bring out more blue in this Mirtillo. Haven't been inclined to experiment so far. Maybe I'll just rename it blackberry.

Have a warm weekend folks. View attachment 311348

Just wonderful Steve, enjoy your weekend!

I have had and have a lot of black hats made in the thirties and before, many in fantastic wool blends, always in small to medium sizes.

Barbisio Rat-Gondin size 59 sold in Genoa a few years ago.
View attachment 311418
It had some signs of aging, but Fleur of Penumbra took steps to put it back in order and, today a quite warm day, I took it for a walk, strictly with the brims up, as was the custom in those years.
View attachment 311419 Rat-Gondin is the French translation of "Nutria" the felt is very thin and consistent with excellent maneuverability and then it is black or elegance.

I've always admired your Dunlap, Bob. It sure stands out in that winter landscape.

Great looking hat.. what a liner

View attachment 311408 A Dobbs made from several Dobbs.
This hat was sewn back together last night using a liner, sweatband and
felt /hatband from 3 hats that were, individually, incomplete.
Nevertheless, they came together in this one hat to make one awesome fedora. The other 2 Dobbs had suffered too much moth damage to fix. View attachment 311409
The grosgrain bow was one of those rear bow creations except it was on the side. I wasn’t a fan of that look, so I flipped the ribbon to the “new” side and made a shark gill bow with 7 pleats.
The sweatband was a size 7 that made the stretch to 7 1/4, however, I wouldn’t recommend this procedure when not knowing exactly how and what to do. I’ve shared a successful way to do this using “as new” sweats in another thread.

Hope everyone stays warm and safe in the hard hit areas.
Weird and dangerous weather out there.
We merely got more very unneeded rain last night. It’s been so wet for so long that the ground has soured. Even with the heat on (when I can stand to run it) and a dehumidifier I am fighting moisture and mold.
Not good for hat collections. View attachment 311405 View attachment 311407

Wonderful job Randall. A beautiful hat!

Thanks Panos!

I appreciate that Steve! It's like a lot of my hats. They pale in comparison to many (including your Qualitá Finissima Fu Lazzaro bowler), but I'm happy to have them.

My Alley Kat hat by Tim Mahovich. Whiskey rabbit with vintage ribbon. Color is pretty true on my monitor. I guess all this snow is good for something.

Bob, your hats pale into comparison to non of us, and are indeed an inspiration to many of us!

Notice that Brüder Böhm used he German name Neutitschein.

Thanks Panos. It's finally warming up enough to change out of the most serious sort of winter gear now and then.
