First time wearing this Supernatural Milan from the Ecuadorian Panama Hat Company. I had to re-stitch the sweatband yesterday. The thread on sweatband installation saved the day.

Insanely cool, Bill. You know I’m a sucker for great Milans with classic pugs... that one has it all!!

Go try to find one that’s made as finely or as well today. You won’t.

From 90F to 60F and raining. NW Hats custom pecan and a leather jacket today.

Crazy weather change. It is challenging to think some folks are unsure of climate change. Back to hat speak - love the pecan and leather combo.

Finally warm enough to take my new straw from panamahatsdirect out for a spin. Nice weave on this one.

Jay; Looking sharp sir. Grand hat. The pug is a nice compliment to the weave.

Sir, your hat parade of late has been spectacular. Thanks for sharing your hat passion. I do look forward to seeing your hats each day.

The Stetson Playboy trademark was filed in December 1935 citing a first use in trade of 1934. This is an older one, dating from the late 1930s to pre-war 1940s. Note the fab owner personalization imprint on the sweatband.

Your Playboy is truly a dream hat. It clicks many of the buttons like vent, model, felt hue, decade of manufacturer, condition, embossing and providence. Sincerely a grand hat. Wear ti with pride Alan.

Having more fun with pandanus and feathers:

Your hats can not be separated from the glorious Hawaiian backdrop. Cheers! Keep them coming as I am living the tropical dream thru your pics. Aloha.

Favorite Stratoliner, probably late 40’s
Quite a ambiguous shade of Olive ish.

Excellent! The "pine" felt hue was advertised by Stetson thru the late 40's. I do love this hued felt.


Excellent Mallory goodness!

Another Porker stingy. Old Dobbs in grey.

You never fail to make stingy brims look sharp. Congrats and thanks for sharing your hats.


Excellent "minty" fedora.

Alan your Playboy clicks off all the boxes - felt hue, sweat condition and markings, vents, crown label, condition and providence. What a glorious hat. I really look forward to your posts sharing the magnificent hats from the past your hat rack has stored on it.

I love the "pine" hued Stratoliners of the 40's and early 50's. The advertisements listed the pine hue. Yours appears to be in "minty" condition.

Thanks for sharing your stingy fedoras. You make them appear very stylish and inspire me to expand and wear stingy brims. Thanks and I look forward to your next post.


Love the Carlton.

Haven’t been in much of a hat mood the last few days, as I had to lay my poor Tasha to rest.
Sitting on my deck without my furry companion this morning, but with my Falcon Park lawless reproduction.
You all look great and are showing some incredible lids.
Thanks for the distraction.

Sorry to hear this, Jeff. From your posts, Tasha sounded like a good pup.
