something else caught my eye. The car's paintwork, the two-tone stripe is nothing new, but it is still very effective.
Thanks, Robert. You and Tina were having a great day out by the looks of it. Wonderful!View attachment 522823
What a fabulous couple, love the hats and something else caught my eye. The car's paintwork, the two-tone stripe is nothing new, but it is still very effective.

The Borsalino Nembo, love the clean lines, the colour and the sharp appearance. Compliments to you Stefan.

Today was the 2023 MG run through The New Forest. You can just make out the two-tone stripe similar to that in Bob's photo. MG types are getting used to us, but we still got photographed more than the car. Both Tina's hat and mine are bespoke. There's a lady at church who is very talented at making straw hats, she it was who made Tina's. Mine came from Gamble & Gunn, made to measure and to compliment the trousers.
Stefan, Thank you! As usual a really fantastic array of hats from you. The brim work on the Borsalino "Faunosca" is beyond outstanding. All around Superb!Fabulous hat, Steve and great backstory as well.
Love the natural looking crease!
Love the natural looking crease!
very Nice, Stefan. Is the binding wider on the underside of the Faunosca…. Or is it a few rows of decorative stitching. Nembo looking quite fresh… and the Stetsonian is a standout!The hats of the week. Here we go.

Thanks Stefan.. it really is… and also interesting the properties of different felts and how they will react. And the of course there is that steamed felt smell.There's a lot to love!
Very nice, Joe. Always fun to see a hat come back to life under a good dose of steam.
Thank you David. I agree. My guess is that was one of his “go to town“ kinda hats. I do not know if the ribbon is original or not. If memory serves when I was inspecting under the sweat there was a small tear/whole in the felt on the bow side covered up by this wider ribbon. But I didn’t see any evidence of a previous ribbon… not sure I necessarily would though.Such an interesting hat—kind of a crossover. Looks great!
Mayser "Stella Steif Federlicht / Stiff Feather Light" made for Huthase / Hat Hare possibly later 1920s to early 1930s. This is a really fantastic Fur Felt (Haar.filz) Stiff Felt made by Mayser Ulm. I really like the dimensions and form. The sweatband leather is especially comfortable. Huthase had stores in Dresden, Chemnitz, and Leipzig. I found this Stiff Felt back in 2019.
HutHase (Hat Hare) Dresden Chemnitz Leipzig, H. Pohl Leipzig W-31 "Silka Carton D.R.G.N.". This Carton was made for a Stiff Felt or Silk Top Hat so perfect for Mayser "Stella Steif Federlicht", Huthase Stiff Felt. I have a few similar style Cartons so popular in the time period. I found the Carton back in 2017.
Classic - Love it.Muse’s Panama for my nieces high school graduation celebration brunch.
