This morning I'm sporting a Royal Stetson that was originally sold at Paul's Men's Shop in Jesup, Georgia. Similar to the Knox Tom 'n' Jerry fedora I posted last week this one has stitched rows on the brim too. The onion skin liner tip was cracked and torn so I removed what remained and really like the dark maroon color that was hiding underneath. This also let me see that there are stars in the logo which means earlier than 1951 if I remember correctly.

Unique brim, unique ribbon! Nice one, Timmy.

Second black hat of the series to celebrate, belatedly, the day dedicated to them.
JOB Lezignan.jpg

Yesterday a classic of the Sixties/Seventies, today a rarity of the Twenties.
French hat from the JOB hat factory or hats shop in Lezignan - Narbonne - France.
JOB Lezignan 1.jpg
It has a "silky" felt made of wool and fur and its shape is typical of the period of European hats as high crown and ribbon plus wide brims.
JOB Lezignan 3.jpg
The felt is very malleable and despite the years does not need steam. The hands are more than enough to shape it. Unlined it has a medium weight and a notable charm.

Have a nice day and thanks for your likes on the yesterdays's black

A lot to like on that one, Daniele.

So much to see in this series of posts, Gary!! To begin with: that Borsalino, that coat, and that tie: MAGNIFICO!!!! ::chef's kiss:: Next, for me, is that Hornskov Broker with that shirt and vest, AND the multiple-appearances leather jacket. Well played, sir!!! And, of course, Etsuko always looks grand in whatever she's wearing!
Thanks, Voo. The suit is an Altea that Etsuko found on the second hand market, as is the tie. The vest is an Etro that Etsuko found on the second hand market. It helps to have a wife with a good eye for a bargain. The Schott jacket is also from the second hand market, but I found that one myself. (The hat was from Stefan).
Impressive! A meal fit for a King and Queen.
Thanks!
Some great photos of you both in wonderful hats, Gary.

I've finally got me a Hornskov, don't get me coveting more :)

As for the food photos, absolutely mouth watering.
Thanks, Steve. I was surprised to see my Broker featured in the photos on Hornskov’s website.
