I've got my eye on a Stratoliner in brown on Facebook Market Place. Sadly, it's lost its pin, so I'm in two minds.
The pin is the making of that hat. I have a Strat-a-like clone but wouldn't dream of putting the Stratoliner pin on it.
When I'm out and about in the vintage MG I have a pin that often gets comments. It's actually a lapel pin.

SBCD for some grocery shopping. The shirt is a Pendleton. Like many others here, I’ve long admired Perry’s collection of shirts, so when I came across a Pendleton shirt here in Japan, I snapped it up. It helped that it was really cheap. One of those shops that sells well known brands cheaply, but where you’ll never find the same thing twice. Fortunately, they had one in my size. I got this and a pair of Clarks Wallabees for less than a hundred bucks.

Followed by another Akubra, my Cattleman for making home cured bacon and grilling some chicken.

"NEUHEIT" "SPITZENKLASSE" "EXTRA FEIN" possibly mid 1930s. Fantastic (color, finish) light weight Velour with a very unique Liner. Haven't been able to find out the company that made it.

That is a jawdropper of a hat. Spectacular!

Great looking hat and coat, Matt. You seem to have left the mustache at home?

Wednesday, the one day they let me out of the house.

A great Caxton Ten I picked up from Brent last year. Basic black.

The Stetson Sovereign is the perfect hat to compliment Tina's handiwork. She made the trousers, waistcoat/vest and shirt.
Nothing wrong with being a clothes horse, Robert! You get to pocket the compliments.

Twofer time!
Another gorgeous day here and have two to share. One for keeps and one to move.
The Wormser OR clone I’ve had for a year and have finally taken the time to shape. Was a wrinkled mess, but steamed out nicely. Will be my only gray OR styled hat.
I like Wormsers as much as Adams.

The Dobbs Cross Country is in a sage green color that I have too many of so it’s gonna be sold BIN. Should keep it since I have no other Cross Countries and a collectible piece, but as said many times, I’m not really a collector as much as a vintage hat wearer.

You can be both, Randall. Two lovely hats there.

Nice! Don't see enough Lee hats here.

Hi from Germany.
I just found this antique German hat, but It has been hard for me to find any info about the Hatmaker or any info. The color is amazing, and compared with some Stetsons and Mayser I have (new ones) the felt is super smooth and with a velvet kind of Quality.
Welcome to the lounge. The hat looks great and likely has a suede finish. In Germany the term Wildleder was generally used for that. There are several contenders who could have made this hat, but nearly impossible to tell which one actually did. Regardless it's a great find and wonderful hat.

I can just about feel that velour on my fingertips! Looks great, Brent.
