Catching up again. Missed this beauty over the weekend. Love the finish, looks like the sweat is pristine.

I had promised Stefan to open the boxes of hats with long hair

Here is the first of the series

Barbisio Titan size 60 or 7 1/2 US made, probably, in the sixties

The color is "Marron" and the felt is Beaver, a rarity for the European hat making. Soft enough and with another consistency compared to long hairs in rabbit or hare

It is clearly a product of the highest quality and appropriate price. Here I wore it in diffused light and with some rays of sunlight to give light to an already bright felt of his own

The brim was snap down, but it is very nice even with brim ups
Thanks for your recents likes and kind words
Buona domenica!

What a wonderful finish. I have sent a couple Barbisio Titans to Stefan recently, they sure are superb hats.

Stetson Revenger reworked into a gambler by Mike Miller.

Like the style Bob. Mike did a great job on this one.

The debut of the new-to-me Royal Deluxe Stetson St. Regis.

Sweet 'Burg Jim. I assume it is 1950s?

Good morning folks. The beaded hat bands, conversions, longhair hats, gorgeous vintage and modern hats of late have been spectacular. Thanks for sharing.



Today's relative heat wave, 20'f without a wind, finds me doing outside chores in a VS fedora with a gill ribbon treatment. No jacket required for chores - so far. The VS (blue/gray) blue-smoke beaver felt is a fav hue of mine.

Best, Eric -

Man, I love this color. I wonder if he still has this felt color? Need to make a trip down south to Art's facility.

Thanks Red. I have to settle for hills around here, but then again I guess I've always favored hills to mountains for anything except a view.

Thanks D. You were looking good in the tux again.

I haven't had this Dallas on for awhile.

Sounds like I might need rain gear and hat for tomorrow's outing.
Have a good one,
Michael

Love the color on the Dallas. Does it have a blue tone to the gray or is it the Iowa light?

Stetson twenty five at various stages of yesterday and today.

Perfect hat for this resort, it just seems to fit right in with the background.

Saw the detail pictures of this beauty on Facebook. Most definitely my favorite of yours! Love that finish.

Boy, I have been really out of the loop of late. Didn't even catch the demise of the fine cookie duster! Great looking color on that Standard.

So far, the only hat I've picked up here is on a complimentary keychain from the people at Tren Ecuador...

I think that might fit Alan or Stefan. Nice weave.

The vintage Stetson Bantam and I worked the outside wood grill for our yesterday's evening dinner.

Best, Eric -

Classic. One of my favorites Eric. You have a Happy New Year.

Penman again today. Looking forward to a projected windchill of -3F tonight at midnight. Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year to you and yours Jay. Penman looks to be providing some protection.

I’ll be wearing this brown Homburg tonight,

Happy New Year

And to you too Alan. Back to the snow after a respite on the sunny beaches I see.

 

[Knotten]

It will be about 77 here and 65% humidity... wish we could split the difference with you!

Happy New Year/¡Feliz Año!

If we split the difference, it would be 37 degrees both places. That's not much of a deal for either of us, Tukwila. How 'bout instead I just go to where you are?

 

[moehawk]

That’s a stunner, man.

The stunner... that's Stone Cold Steve Stetson's finishing move....
And thanks!

I went out earlier to the butcher and liquor stores for provisions. Wearing a cap in the windy dropping winter temps.

Best, Eric -

 

[moehawk]

Hahahaha. No, even if I were still asking him to do that, it would still be too much of a stretch.

I thought Iggy's resizing wizardry was only looked down on when reducing desirable sizes, not expanding all those unloved sub 7 ones.
Wouldn't want the poor guy to miss a payment on his new boat...

I have noticed that it is VERY similar in block, flange, dimendions and trim to a Whippet. Ol' Steven should have called it the Greyhound just to poke the bear a little...

The prettiest Bantam on the lounge in my opinion Eric. The blue/grey is exemplary. The proportions, perfect. One of my absolute favorite hats to wear.
Love seeing yours.

Gorgeous shine on that one Daniele. One fine looking hat.

Love the color on the Dallas. Does it have a blue tone to the gray or is it the Iowa light?

This seems to be a complex grey, Red. In some lights it's a light blue, in others a sort of minty green.

Today I was out for a couple of hours in a steady rain. The Backhouse hat and Woolrich slicker kept me totally dry and comfortable.

Greetings All:
Today....since i’m breaking in a pair of Stingrays, i might as well wear a Western and ring out the old year or ring in the new year, right.
60’s Stetson One Hundred and a smile to ya’ll as i say “Happy New Year” fellow loungers. Thanks for all the goodness and kind words these last 365.
Be carefull out there tonight...lots of rookies out!!
Be well. Bowen
PS: as for form, fit and felt, i’ll take my 50’s 7X CBs all day long.

In Ecuador, they make elaborate paper mache figures and call them Los Años Viejos, referring to the past year that is passing. Then they burn them to send off the old year and welcome the new year.

The government has passed laws about the burning, but it's not possible to crack down on it too much as it's so prevalent. Sometimes the años viejos are stuffed full of fireworks, adding to the excitement.

I think I might have figured out why your relatives were wearing red. My wife says you wear red if you are wishing for love on the new year, and yellow if you are wishing for money.
