Damn, Skippy, that's nice. Just remember who brung ya to the dance, Matt!

I think the cat likes it.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

I shall not, my friend. The message I take from it is that it's time to get back into hat hijinks after my recent distractions. Hats, the Lounge and Lounge folks...
They make me happy.

Thanks

Good to see you Matt! That hat is fine looking. Good looking hat guard cat too!

Sweet. I love the cat’s reaction to the brim width!

It always amazes me that a straw can last for 75 years. It must have been a high quality Parabuntal to start with and was taken care of. Very nice John.
Thanks Mike!
High quality, for sure. The weave is incredibly fine, and supple as can be. Can't vouch for it's previous treatment, as I found it at a thrift store, unblocked and unfinished, tossed carelessly in with a bunch of cheap straws and trucker hats and various other hats that were basically garbage. Found it more by feel than anything as I sifted through the bin. Glad I checked there! :)

@Frunobulax "made" me buy this. It came yesterday.
He and I both thought it was a homburg from the pics on the eBay. It ain't.

Royal Vita-Felt.

Hey Matt!
Nice Vita-Felt!
That brim treatment looks a lot like when I ironed out the brim curl of my Borden homburg, but without the band of darker felt between the top binding and stitches for the bottom of the binding where the sun didn't fade the felt.

Neat Moe. I'm going to hunt down some of your shots for a comparison.
