What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[mayserwegener]

Anton Peschel Neutitschein "Peschel Kristall" possibly late 1930s early 1940s and recent arrival.

Looks like 1972 (by Koracorp -- after they had already bought Byer-Rolnick back in 1967):

Great conversion BTW!

Thanks for that Bob. I'm definitely going to read up on it.

Nice looking St.Regis. Hopefully, from today on, you'll be Sunman

Beautiful St Regis

Thanks, guys. This style of hat is really growing on me.

This is the hat that I’ve asked Michael Gannon to duplicate with my second 220g nutria in natural. Should arrive in July, but worth the wait. I love this hat, and I like the idea of having a modern version that I won’t have to pamper or worry about.

Yeah, that hat is all you! Looking forward to seeing the Gannon creation.

Wearing my latest refurb project. This is a Knox Stagecoach that a fellow Lounger gave to me. I'm wondering if Byer / Rolnick possibly bought out Knox back in the day. It has all same markings on the sweat that the Resistol Stagecoach had...and I saw Dobbs Stagecoaches too. So I'm guessing that maybe Byer / Rolnick bought them out way back when (?) Anyway, this hat sports an impressive profile with 7 inch tall open crown and a 4.5 inch brim width. You don't run across Western hats with these profiles too often these days. Except for the weaved hat band I reused everything that was original to the hat. I was able to preserve the original open crown shape and to retain the brim width and pencil curl...

Before:

Ironed out the old creases in the crown and ironed the brim:

After:

Very Cool T! I really like the way you reworked the brim and fixed the crown. You certainly got the touch.

Spring has come to Central California and the almonds are in bloom.

My in-laws planted 5 acres of eucalyptus trees 40 years ago for firewood and now they realize that 1/2 an acre would have sufficed.

Dang Brent that hat is a killer! Is that a 70's model? Love the scenery looks like spring.

Thanks, Reggie. I’m also guessing the hat is 1970s, but that’s just my guess. Yes, winter, such as it is, is over in my part of California.

I felt like doing some little kicks but figured taking a selfie with the hat in the grocery store parking lot probably drew enough attention already.

Should get a little melty here today. With 15" of snow on the ground there is room for a lot of melty. Knox Twenty will make the rounds with me.

I was home yesterday afternoon and it was warm (20'f or -6'c). I went for a walk in a new to me Dobbs.

First time I have seen a fabric covering on top of a leather sweat up close. The Dobbs brand is on the fabric and leather.

I needed to use an ice breaker on some chunks at the foot of our driveway. A change to a Warren fedora for some effort was perfect.

Roasting a chicken on the grill found me yet another fedora - Stetson Vogue.

Cheers from a warmer Minnesota USA, Eric -

Don’t see too many Magill hats here. How do you like it? Get a good deal?
Looks good on you. Nice colour as well.
