Stingymas cannot be forgotten this morning. Here is my offering to the good people of TFL, a Dunley Supreme fur felt with a 1 7/8 inch brim that sold for $22.50 back in the day.
Today’s Stingymas post is a jet black Tirard. Ragondia (nutria) felt from the ‘50s, with a 5¼ cm brim. Unusually for me, I tend to wear this one brim up more often than not. View attachment 665574 View attachment 665575
This morning my lid of choice is this open crown western style hat from Jackson Hole Hat Company in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Grazie Stefan.Fantastic, Daniele. Nice organic crease and that brim curl is superb.
Thanks a lot.Looks great with the jacket!
Reggie, to the pertinent question I answer with what I have found over the years on men's evening hats made in France. They are hats that have the shape of a homburg with the dimensions of the original, more or less, the plus is the finishing of the felt in shiny black melusine and the narrow brim edging. Advertised in the 50s as a hat to match a coat and black tuxedo of course. I have recovered three completely new ones... they are too many for me and my few evenings as a socialiteWow that is a unique looking hat, Daniele. It has stately aristocratic appearance. Would you call it a short brimmed Homburg? I am not too familiar with Parisian hat manufacturers.
Thanks Joe. My contribute to the StingyMas will start todayTREMENDOUS
Molto, molto belloThanks all for the likes and comments on the Biltmore and Texas Hatters. And now something a little more in the spirit of Stingymas that came to me a while back by way of @BobHufford, a 30s (NRA tagged) Knox:
Bello e inusuale a queste latitudiniThis morning my lid of choice is this open crown western style hat from Jackson Hole Hat Company in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Todays little short gem arrived to me as a Formerly Stetson Tijuana that someone clipped to a 1" brim ( and didnt even do a good job of that)
Did a little reblocking and stretching to lower the crown about 1/2" and "grow" the brim out a bit. Then I grafted on a 1/4" more new felt to the brim and covered with a ribbon edge binding. Now sits at about 1-7/8" brim. Grafted in some plugs to fill some moth holes, and even stitched up an inch long rip in the felt where someone had pulled down on the brim too hard. Brim binding gave it back some structure and the new wider Khaki ribbon hides a lot of damage
Maybe a lot of work for a basically junked hat, but it HAS survived!

THAT is a question I have absolutely NO answer for, Joe!While that reference does seem to make sense…. It then bears the question what made them think that was the name for this hat!?!?! LOL.
