I threw on my OR for a few minutes this evening. My daughter is learning to appreciate hats.

Hey Roger:
I can see how the hat’s doing.
How IS that baby girl? I’ve often wondered.
Buy the way...you are TOTALLY vunerable to the hat grab move taking selfies that way!!! You’ll see soon. Ha

Ha ha, I know it! I'm getting her used to my hats early so hopefully soon she'll be so used to them the fascination will be gone and the "hat grab reflex" (that's the medical term) will subside. She's doing great by the way. Crawling and climbing to a standing position constantly currently.

Fine effort, Richard. That's a beautiful St. Regis. I love the look of a Homburg and I think the St. Regis is about as nice as there is but I've sold every one that I've owned. They look perfect on some folks, you are one of them, but I could never get used to the look on me.

Thanks Greg, it took me a while to get the confidence to wear them well. It definitely helps to have a beauty like this one. Now if I could wear a western as well as you do I’d be an all around hat guy

Yesterday an ancient French hat of high class showed and today a French hat, younger and middle class to wear

As my friend Steve (mayserwegener) says, we understand a lot of the production by seeing and touching hats for the less well-off social classes, those that one or two hats were the maximum endowment for a few decades

The hat is branded Karson - Made in France and on the sweatband is reported "Vrai cardou feutre" and as always in those years, the seventy, "Impemeable" (Waterproof)

The felt is light and very malleable with a "peachy" type surface. The ribbon suffered for very poor stockage and the basting stitches are mostly gone. It is new as the others of the bunch

The classic proportions: 5cm. brim, 11.5 the crown and 3.5 cm. the ribbon. No lining just a tip inside the crown.

The shape with the straight sides, a nice hat to wear on Sundays
Thanks a lot for the likes on the blue Gannon.
Buona giornata

I want to register my disappointment that this thread wasn't named "Son of WHAYWT."
Or at least "WHAYWT 2 - Electric Boogaloo."
This is the first vintage hat I ever bought. Scored it at the Ft. Worth Mercantile Exchange.

We could always call it "Hat Shots - Part Deux"! Love a WAR back bow. And a Disney to boot!


A nice cool morning again finally. Seems there has been something of a run of these

Have a great Wednesday,

There has been quite a parade of Last Drop ORs over the past couple of days. This one is the cherry on top!

Sweet St. Regis Richard. I just love the rosey brim binding color on these.

One more.

Avast Lounge Mateys! To celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day the wife and I are going to enjoy the ocean. Should be a grand day at the beach, but probably windy and colder. Perfect conditions for the Stetson Royal Deluxe Pork Pie Back Bow. WAR! Or more appropriately... Waaaaarrr! Two friends from our theater were the founders of this international holiday, John "Old Chumbucket" Bauer and Mark "Captain Slappy" Summers.

Thanks Red. There have been a lot of nice last drop OR's showing up. Always fun to see. By the way, you've been wearing some really nice hats in the past few days. I sort of tired of commenting when it was taking 30 seconds to do anything in the old thread. This new one is much, much more responsive.

Edited to add: Love that back bow porkie you have on today. I may have to brush off my Piratese and see if I can dig up a suitably Piratical hat for the day.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks, Mike. For some reason, I thought I'd missed it.

PS. Keep an eye on your mailbox. Probably Friday.

I like that! Incidentally, I pulled this one out because of the discussion in the Disney Diner. According to CW, and der perfessor, after 1947, the "Mr. Disney" designation was used. I find it a dubious assertion, however, that this is a pre-1947 hat. But anything is possible, I guess.
