Superb, John. Wonderful colour and great shape.

Another day, another rebuild. This one started it's life as a Berger of Hollywood. At least 1940s, and maybe earlier. Even with Mike's (@Redfokker) help I couldn't t corral this one's age. By the time I got my grubby little mitts on it, it was merely a shell of it's former self. Cleaned, reblocked, new sweat/liner, and my second ever sharksgill using vintage blue ribbon. Hence, the Frunoberger.

I almost stopped to take pics in front of a Waffle House, but didn't.

Good evening. I missed the light again. Optimo “Dearborn” in Oxblood.

Have a great weekend!

I've been swamped and unable to post much lately, but wanted to take a minute and say how much I REALLY LOVE this hat, Reggie. And you look fantastic wearing it. I'm surprised I haven't seen you wearing it more. Outstanding in every respect. It looks a bit like the current "black" Black Cherry felt Winchester is producing.

Home run!

Finally decided to tie the knot, huh Bob? Great hat for the celebration!

Looking good, Bob. Maiden journey for both of you

Thanks guys! My favorite nephew was the one getting married (and he's not really my nephew). Fun was had by all. I think the hat had the most fun as it hit the floor about a dozen times (no place to put it other than the back of the chair and every kid, wide-hipped lady or wait staff that went by seemed to knock it off. Afterwards a bit of brushing and it was back to new. Wish I could say the same for myself this morning...

I like the French pronunciation
Frunoberjeur’.
Sounds so sofisterkated!!

Minnesota mild winter weather, 19'F, this morning. Filling bird feeders in a lightweight jacket and fedora. Six feeders(various types), squirrel feeder and a couple of suet feeders all needed re-fills. Our outdoor residents have been hungry.

The un-lined Knox Vagabond is very comfy on the head, but I will need a dress weight if I have chores that need me to be outside longer.

Best, Eric -

"Le Frunoberjeur" that would be, monsuer.

Yesterday the Frunoberger, today, the Frunoliner. Chosen for the purple ribbon, being the second Sunday of Advent and all.

And of course, because sunshine...

I like that color with the velour finish, picks up the light and shows it off. Nice one Stefan.

I'm sure the birds were impressed. Wonderful Eric.

Perfect choice for this advent season Jim. I have always liked the color combo on the Frunoliner.

Looking good as always Doug. The customs you have made are always very pleasing to the eye. Color combinations, profile, brim length etc.. always look great.

Stetson Royal DeLuxe Gold Medal today. Nice, thin, obedient felt. I had to put in a new sweatband.

Very nice, Reggie. I like the more straight crown on that hat. The ones Max posted have more taper to them.

Thank you, Stefan. This particular model, the Dearborn is their highest crown approximately 5 inches at the top of the crease. The Manhatten and Chicago models have their medium or standard crown which generally measure in around 4 to 4.25 inches creased.

Thanks, Tuk. Yes, I should wear it more often. You know how it is. Some hats kind of drop out of the rotation until you open that forgotten box at the bottom of the stack. The Black Cherry is similar and indeed a wonderful color. I always enjoy seeing yours too.

Home run!
