Mallory fedora, about 1947. When I first posted it, I called it the Monster fedora, because the brim is so wide. It might be a zoot suit fedora.

It's hats of the week time again. Very strong winds (and persistent cold temps) this week called for homburgs (most of the time). Let's see.

Excellent all the way through. I imagine any week starting with that Stetson 3X Homburg and rolls through to that Brummels is going to be a great week.

The choice gets tougher every week, but I do rather like the Morreton Prestige Navy. As well as the shape and style, the navy colour is a great balance. Most Navy Blues tend to be so dark that the blue hue is hidden.

As I posted yesterday in the hats in restaurants thread, Tina and I are off to lunch at The Drovers, and my bespoke Gamble & Gunn has been requested by my lady. Who am I to argue?

Nice choice she made.

I got home from work shenanigans yesterday and attempted some yard chores. It is hard as the grounds are still damp and there are pockets of snow hiding. I did enjoy being outside under the brim of a Stetson Whippet.

Later a walkabout under a Stetson homburg.

Cheers, Eric -
That is one fine Whippet, Eric.

Beautiful hat! I really should wear mine more often.

All great hats, Stefan. I just have to go for the Hückel, though, as I know how wonderful they are. The colour of yours makes it extra special.

Super find!
Thanks, Steve. It's one of those hats you just have to buy. no matter how many you already have.
Fantastic!

There is some real estate there to work with, Mike. Excellent.

Thank you, Joe. It's nice to have a choice!

Wearing another of my conversions. This was a too small 7 1/8 Bradford Saddler Western that I sized up and converted to a thin ribbon fedora. Except for the new sweat, everything original to the hat was reused. The picture of me wearing the hat is from a different day.
