Panos, Thank you! I will try.Two Dream hats Steve! We need to see those more often!

This morning has been "Bowler Sunday" in my neighborhood.
I have 2 vintage Stetson bowlers. They are different, although my wife disputed that when I set them out to wear this morning.
A dog soirée was taken in the bowler without a crown marking. It has clever vent holes in the top.
Morning coffee and a jaunt through the yard in the other bowler. Tip marker and a smaller ribbon make this bowler different.
Here are a few comparison pics.
See they are different.
BTW: The black bowlers are showing dust spots. They both need a thorough brushing.
Thanks Stefan. I picked this one up via Facebook Market Place. It's made under license in England, so a Failsworth product. Originally sold at Petitgas in Copenhagen. So all the boxes were ticked for me
I'll keep an eye out for one in your size.
Thanks, Steve.Nobody can rain on that wonderful parade, Stefan. Particularly like the Wehrmeier Antilope and the Wegener Seal.
Nice to see them side by side. For some reason the narrower ribbon is more fitting for a bowler to my eye.This morning has been "Bowler Sunday" in my neighborhood.

Very nice!It is spectacular weather here in NYC today—a sunny, mild autumn day—perfect for an unlined and relatively wide-brim (2 5/8) Flechet Essor. Enjoy the day and Happy Halloween.

Thanks, Ken. Not as fine a hand as other Barbisio hats, but suits the style well.That Misto Montana is fabulous Stephan.
Your friend is all smiles with his Champ! Nice!Standard Hat Works, Waco, TX

My friend is wearing a Champ.
Can't be too certain: it's a very big country. Nice hat though (I'll skip the fact that it's green).This Akubra Fed IV Deluxe is probably the only one in Russia.
Though many hats are made of hare…. This cover was hair.
Happy Halloween from Napoleon Dynamite and Deb… we hope all your wildest dreams came true.

Looks perfect, Gary. Glad you like it and have this itch scratched (for now). Etsuko looking great in her Maxim as well. And the food pics are killing me!My bowler arrived this morning from @steur. Out of the box and on to my head, where it stayed the whole day.

Being my first bowler, I was concerned that I might look comical. Pleased to say I don’t think I looked any more comical than usual.
Etsuko wore a Maxim.

Thursday was a day for a Gannon in Granite and a dog walk.

One of the first days in a while with sunshine. Thangs had been looking more like this.

I don't know what happened to Friday, but as Halloween approched on Saturday, I of course let the Demon out to play.

Very sharp, Ken.Recent Borso addition. 2-3/4" brim / 5-1/2" crown. Not sure of age but appears as unworn. Johnny Carson fedora tie.
