Cavanagh Bowler - Derby
Tobacco Brown - Fawn Felt
5 1/4 crown
1 inch reddish brown grosgrain ribbon
Approx 2 inch brim with d’Orsay curl
2 inch to front 2 inch to curl on sides 2 1/2 to edge

@BobHufford pointed out this brown Cavanagh bowler to me some weeks back. The asking price at the time was more than I was wanting to go. A bit of patience paid off when after a few weeks it hadn’t sold, I sent the seller a modest offer. After a small counter offer the hat was on its way. @steur half jokingly, raised the concern hoping it was in fact brown and not just bad photography. I can happily confirm for Stefan it is indeed brown in color… more so a lighter tobacco brown… or being that the last two letters on the torn price tag are wn.. maybe Fawn? Speaking of the torn price tag it ends in 5.00… I’m guessing maybe original price of $15 on what I’d estimate to be a mid to later 50s Cavanagh that was sold at Meyer’s of Lexington, KY. Sadly the golden size 7 size tag that was shown unattached in the sellers photos did not appear to have made the journey with the hat. This hat makes a fine addition to my derby stable. Thanks again Bob for the tip off.

Last night we trundled the couple of blocks over to the Masonic Temple (home of the lampposts Steve is fond of) to catch a free performance by The Navy Sea Chanters. My choice for the evening was this old Marathon.

We enjoyed an excellent show by this vocal chorus, who performed everything from sea shanties to opera, and of course many patriotic songs.

Wow. If I ever succumb to the lure of a derby, it’ll be brown. Great color.
For all my commitment to trilbies and stingies ( that sixties look, with which I honor my old man ), my one “true” fedora is probably my best-looking hat, and I wear it exclusively with my brown leather flight jacket (which has become “vintage” in its own right). 13103728-A6DA-483B-8280-04BEBB95E6EA.jpeg 111ED24E-8471-4476-8654-E72DAC88D127.jpeg
Rose Selentino—not “too” vintage, from 2008. Got a great deal on it because the color is a bit faded on the front edge of the brim. Just gives it a little character.

Thanks.. bowlers have definitely grown on me…. I have a feeling the brown might be fairly versatile.

looking sharp in the Selentino.
