Another relatively inexpensive, but very good looking, 4X wool, added the the stable a couple of weeks ago. Resistol Hooey Day Money (now THERE'S a hat name for you!), in chocolate.

Some mighty nice hats today, gentlemen.


Another Dobbs curl brim for me today - this one a full homburg but the front brim does lock down a little.

Kind of reminds me of a 17th Century Puritan’s hat with this bash. Don’t reckon John Calvin would’ve approved of the color scheme, though.

Today was this Melton Ten Homborg that I bought a little while back, but first time wearing it today.

Adam Hats ‘Mr Bryt’ Dark Brown
5 inch crown as shaped (about 5 1/2 open)
2 inch Light Brown Back Bow Ribbon
2 1/4 brim with Hand Sealed Edge

My latest arrival.. I believe the first of the year. I had put this Adam Hats ‘Mr Bryt’ (I think) on my watch list because of a few features that caught my eye but wasn’t really going to act on it. When the seller offered it to me for about $12, I had to say yes. First off was the 2 1/4 brim with “hand sealed edge” (Cavanagh) the first I have from Adam Hats. The contrasting lighter brown two inch ribbon with back bow really stands out. The crown is fairly full and comes in at around 5 inches as shaped. The liner has an onion skin tip protector with a similar sweat protector behind the sweat. In hand I was a bit surprised to find the hat must have shrunk somewhat as it fits a fair bit more snuggly than it’s tagged size of 6 7/8 even with the split rear seam on the sweat. It has been slowly loosening up stretching back into shape on my head today. The price tag is hard to read and could easily be either $10, $16 or even $18. $16 might be plausible with the hand felted edge on this hat might be targeting a 1950s Twenty from Dobbs, Knox, Stetson ect. The felt quality is good.. it is a stiffer felt that still shapes easily.
