This has been a go-to straw for me since the year Art started turning them out, and it looks it. One of my most well-worn, I really like the cool-casual look.
But she's a vampire.Finally found a good proper hat box for packing away this magnificent Anton Peschel I lucked into a few months ago. Mayserwegener says it’s NOS from the 50s, very high quality, of the finest Austrian velour hats. It certainly reflects all of that. It effortlessly molds to any crease/bash dry. It is an elegant, exceedingly fine velour felt fedora.
I’m not really hip on all the terms that get tossed back and forth here by some on describing felt hat characteristics, quality but I know this. If this hat were a woman her name would be Salma Hayek.
The only thing that could be superior to this fedora would be my MacLachlan 100.

That is a beautiful lady, Alan.
That’s the nicest crisp Knox liner crest i’ve ever seen. I’d wear the hat just to look at the liner crest!

I think I saw that one on eBay! Was it there, do I remember right, Jim? I haven't been paying much attention, because I am trying to survive the spanish wilderness.Heat wave finally broke. From high 90s to a nice mid-70s today. And that means I can finally wear my new black Alexander thin ribbon.
Happy Monday, all!

Salma butt?
Maybe you just want to touch the hat and the butt.

I've seen you wear other Homburgs that look too small for your head, but the proportions with this one are excellent.
