Is that a "Kitten Finish" Resistol, Brent? The felt looks luscious.

Looks are deceiving. It’s a western 3X that Art fixed up for me...firm and sturdy.

Thanks! I like that MacLachlan.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Thanks, Jim. It's nice to still have a few hats in the collection that Max doesn't have too

Great look for you, Perry. You pull that off effortlessly.

Nice. Not used to seeing you in a cap, Perry. You wear it well.

First Friday of Lent. So, you know, gills.

A brim with some attitude it seems: I like it! I like the shallow brim flange too. Nice.

A nice selection Stefan. A long day of trying on different hats often wears me out too. Ha ha.

Interesting choice, Perry. I had already taken my photos of the day with my choice of a Donegal Tweed cap when I saw this one on you. Great minds, or small world, or whatever.

Hats of Ireland in Castlebar. If I've found the right history they may have been a Stetson licensee during the 1960s.

Well put together, Michael. Excellent!

Stefan, Thank you! Again a great series of hats from you. Fantastic color combos!

Thanks you, Steve!

Thanks Stefan!
Yes, my Whippet was on top.of it. (bad dog! ) I thought I had steamed and brushed it out. I guess I missed a spot.

Have to keep an eye out for these Whippets! They're so popular they start to think they can get away with anything. I find that these special finished felts don't take well to other hats being stacked on top of them (gives me the problem that I don't know where to leave them all).

Sunny day and temperatures starting to rise

Stra Barbisio size 60 cm. US 7 1/2

"Nairobi" color and matching pleated ribbon

Hat made in the sixties has one of the most interesting felts among those in my collection for softness and lightness

The edge of the brim is "feltrato" ie without seams or cuts, called in the USA "Cavanagh edge"

Have a nice Friday
Thanks a lot for the likes

Nobody does the shark gill bow quite like Barbisio. Flawless.

Friday Barbisio mid 70’s model I believe.

Have a great weekend!

It's a style that I have stayed away from, but you make it look good, Reggie. Love that colour.

Wool Hat with no company mark but possibly made by "Karl Misik - O. F. Hess Husinec, Czechoslovakia" for export. My guess is this NOS hat was a pre WWII left over. The hat was part of my March 2015 Czech find.

This is the O.F. Hess Hat Box that contain this hat along with many others.

Wonderful looking hat, Steve. Great felt and beautiful style.

Niiiiiice! Not the original ribbon I take it?

 

[steur]

All wonderful hats, Stefan but I really like the MacLachlan. It's a very handsome homburg.

Thanks, Reggie. It's a winner alright: beautiful quality.

Looks good my friend. I haven’t pulled out the straw yet. I tend to hold off for 90 degrees or higher.

Yesterday was the Stetson XXX conversion.

Strat looks good on a "workin' man" playing bluegrass! Where is the venue? Ever make it to Texas?

Outstanding crease Jack!
Picture perfect!

It's pretty thin & soft for a Royal.

Thanks! Haven't made it to Texas but we'd love to. Our bass player goes to Austin several times yearly. This is in Louisville KY and we're back at it tonight. [emoji445][emoji2]
