Fascinating—thanks!

David, Thank you! Sorry about the rough translation.

Here is an early 20th century Stetson No.1 quality with pencil roll brim and modest overall dimensions. Note the silver foil store imprint, a material that never seemed to adhere well - also a less common vertical inkless No.1 shield. The retail store was lost to fire in 1925.

Another dazzler!!!

New to me 1940s long hair green Royal De Luxe Stetson. This was listed as gray, but seemed like a pale green online.

This one's been seen on the Western thread, but I didn't think that should prevent it from being shown doing daily duty. Serratelli Catt2 Gus, on another grey-and-gloomy Idaho winter day.

Switched to something a little “fancier” to head over to my daughter’s for dinner.

The homburg makes you look more elegant and sophisticated! That's my feeble rationale, at least

Same thing happens to me with bowlers. I'll get compliments 10:1 over any other hat style I wear.

Vented lightweight bowler in Steel from Northwest Hats.

Out and about today in the Knox Superfine homburg.

Interesting how neighbors’ reactions change when I wear a homburg as opposed to a fedora. For whatever reason, they seem more receptive to the homburg.

That one is terrific, love the color and the long hair felt.

Thanks, Joe.

One beautiful hat, Randy.

Cap day!

 

[Randall Renshaw]

Love the colors on that one, Bob!
And it’s certainly doing a great job of depleting limited amounts of Xs we have this planet.

Gonna have to change that to 11:1 now, Randy!
Awesome vented bowler!

After what seems to have been at least a month of it being cold enough for a ushanka or otherwise too windy for a fedora, a much enjoyed run out for Big Blue on Tuesday:

Bumped into Johnny Ramone on the way into the office, he seemed to like it...

Dreary day. I’m hanging at the house with probably my best hat: near mint 1940s Royal Stetson Deluxe homburg.

Two peas in a pod: new-to-me Borsa on the left. Fantastic lids.

Early 40s melusine Stetson and a 1978 Case trapper knife that I added a scale/handle yesterday.
I recently bought the knife for $28 missing a handle on one side and figured I could make one out of JB Weld. I did the “jigging” using the side of a Dremel tool and small round bit.
Then dyed it brown with Rit dye and sealed with lacquer.
Oddly, as far as a cursory research, Case has commemorated every thing, famous person, company and historical event that ever existed—except Stetson hats; which I found puzzling.
So, I took the matter upon myself and embedded this gold Stetson hat pin.
In the last photo you can see the factory handle for comparison
