Lookin' great, Max!!

You may already know this, but if not, and you didn't think you'd learn anything new today, here goes...
Probably not an issue for you or you or you would have already noticed on other hats, but the sweatband looks like it may be one of those that some folks are allergic to, with traces of di-chromate. If you test as described HERE, you may detect that content, indicating a lesser quality material. Most hatters aren't aware of it any more, but you can specify vegetable-tanned roan leather, which is more appropriate for a man like you anyway!!

Are we betting on this?!
Thank you, Charlie! I have several @bond sweats, but I didn't think this hat was worth one of them, so I used one from the hatter's supply Co. in Colorado.

The hat looks like it could take some snow, Michael. But better be on the safe side (and stay indoors).
I'm sure it could take plenty of snow, in fact it has in the past. But even though it is a tight fitting hat it has trouble with 25 mph winds.

Wow, both beauties. Love that Lupo velour.

Made in Ukraine for me by mother of Sergei. That is all I know.

Great looking hat, Alan. Gotta love some fur in this weather.

I did a bit of walking and bus riding today under the sheepskin cap.

That and the Moncler down jacket kept my plenty warm today.

Might try a different combo tomorrow morning when the wind chill is supposed to be around -55. Fun times.
