Wore my trusty Stetson Premier for a weekend in Copenhagen. Finally managed to take some photos on the way back home to Elsinore this evening.

This light at the station nicely catches the colour of the hat:

This one catches the green of the ribbon:

Felt season is definitely upon us at last.
Fabulous hat and brilliant coloring.

First of all it is my duty to greet and congratulate all the loungers who have kept alive the thread dedicated to hats worn daily. They have been deserving for continuing in their daily work. Thanks and bravi.

Today, after the start of yesterday, it is the turn of another hat recently arrived in my collection.

Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore, French size 6 1/2 or 60 cm. o 7 1/2 in the USA

Sold in Merano by "Matthias Hutter" of which I have a large representation in my collection.

The color of the felt is "Caffè - Coffee" and the finish leaves a light fur on display. The ribbon is in the same color as the felt of the hat. Very well preserved, it has a special feeling for the early autumn period.
Happy Monday to you all.

Some more touristy snaps in the hats abroad thread.
Some wonderful hats on display here the past couple of weeks. Too many to comment on, but glad to see the high standard firmly in place.
Beautiful hats in wonderful locations…. Or vice versa.

Black hats matter! I am pleased to be able to showcase a 30's Dobbs I recieved from Brent. Thanks Brent it is truly a grand hat!

The black felted Dobbs, Leisure Light fedora. The 30's ribbon work is dynamite. What is not to like about the oldster frayed ribbon. Seriousely, the brim edge is tops!

This Dobbs Leisure Light is indeed a light weight felt. Takes a crease, easily makes another and yet holds. It has all the desirable characteristics of felt, IMO. Black hats matter!

Thanks again Brent.

I did an errand and a couple of yard tasks in a cap.

Teaser; Brent did procure and provide me a hat I have never handled before. My first Stetson 100x. I have had the 100X in a white gas bath this morning and it is headed off for some spot cleaning and steam. Cool beans! More to come.

(The hat above spent 15 minutes in a Coleman White Gas bath being brushed with an old toothbrush. The silverbelly felt saturated with white gas is drying on a post. It appears gray but it will air dry within an hour. After the hour it will have no residual fuels smell. More spot cleaning and steam is in it's future today.)

I tip the brim of my hat in Brent's direction this morning.

Cheers to all, Eric -
PERFECT landing spot for this old beauty. I am glad you and Brent were able to work this out. Can’t think of a better caretaker for this one. Oh the adventures it will get to go on!

Wow.. amazing that is same hat and jacket. While I love the colors in the top one…. I can’t help but think that photo is giving off serious noir vibes
