It does feel great to have "that one hat"; regardless of brand or style, that one hat that is yours 'till the end!

Today....i rarely plan a post and today’s no diff. For rainy porch lounging and coffees i looked around and this one caught my eye.
Return of the Churchill Beaver 50 with a brim that would slice bread. One can only dream what the B/V 100 would be like!
Not a toothpick thin ribbon but one of my thinnest for i guess, TAR Thurs.
I’ll never sell this hat. It’s not the most prestigious, look what i got hat, but mine till cold dead hands.
Be well. Bowen

That is a beautiful hat, as far as I'm concerned. I have a hat I feel similarly to you about. Although, it is, for lack of a better description, a piece of crap! It is a early-mid 70's Stetson, my first cowboy hat! I was actually playing cowboy at that time. It's been tromped on, stomped on, rained on, snowed on, dropped in manure, dropped in the creek, snagged in trees, stained, faded, had a new sweatband, and it wouldn't bring a nickle at an auction, but it would be the very last one I'd get rid of. It's been with me since my teens.

A break in the heat has me digging deeper, as it opens the way for some heavier felts. This is easily one of my nicest finds over the years.

Mallory XV, nice high crown, Cavanagh edge, beautiful felt that fits like a dream.

I love that one, B

Thank you, sir.

It was more like musical chairs and when the music stopped I was the one left without a seat.

Oh no, now that's just not fair, Brent. [emoji20]

How tall is that crown?....looks great.

Thanks, Ken.

The crown is just under 4 inches to the crease and 4.7" open. The brim is 2.5".

Cool and misty here this morning so I grabbed a Saville Row silk jacket and my Gannon natural with slate ribbon and Belgian bound brim.

A very nice match indeed, Tuk.

A most wonderful "rag", John.

A very nice find indeed, Jim. Great colour shade on it.

I'll join Jim today with a Mallory. Dimensions of a "Dallas" but no designation.

It's been awhile, so I decided to get the Demon Hanover out of the stables and give it a few laps around the track.

It had you on the run, Jim: there's movement in the last shot! Lovely hat.

Waiting for a WET WEDNESDAY... Also needing some daylight and air, my MacLachlan.

I'm always amazed by the variety of looks this lid projects. The color, the brim, the bash...

It is a hat to look happy under and you pull that off like nobody else, Charlie.

Coming from a long conversation with a fellow photographer, I found myself wondering how long I didn't show up here

The veiled sun gave me a hand and so here I am in the warm Italian afternoon, with a Borsalino "Sisol" so it is defined on the beautiful sweatband

The hat is very light and almost weightless, with excellent finishes. It was probably built by Tesi in and around Florence, but so be it

Good day lounge mates

Gorgeous, Daniele. Looks like a perfect summer hat.

The Stetson Fortune and Glory went from open crown to a rough Indy bash in less than 10 seconds. Molds like soft clay. This Excellent quality beaver is thick and lush to the hand. No steam needed. 2 5/8 front and back dimensionally cut to 2 1/2 on the sides. Open crown is just under 6" creased to 4 1/2 in the front. My quick bash is certainly not screen accurate but who cares, I like it.

That hat works very well for you. Nice proportions and colour.

I love this time of year. Sweetcorn, tomatoes, watermelons, muskmelons. Picked up some sweetcorn from a friend's farm and lived up to my name today shucking corn. A nice breeze today with tolerable temps so I wore the Royal Deluxe Open Road.

That is a real nice Mallory too, Scott. I particularly like the way the obvious green hue of the ribbon and bow bring out the subtle green hue of the felt. Great hat.

Today.....a hat by happenstance.
I grabbed this one just like you’re not supposed to, high on the front crown and the pinch stayed.
So i’m wearing it awhile.
Prob one of the last One Hundreds that was still pretty nice. I guess.
Be well. Bowen

That is next level creasing, Bowen.

Echter Borsalino ""Qualità Superiore" probably 1930s. This is the second hat from a November 2012 find that was made into a Campaign Hat. It was also originally sold by Carl Kellner Hamburg. Unfortunately the fantastic sweatband is damaged. It's possible later stiffening contributed to the sweatband deterioration. Great bow design (it appears original) which I don't think I scene before on a Borsalino.

Very cool, Steve. Pity about the sweatband.

Good Morning from beautiful downtown Nashville!
Seemed like a good day for a 3X Stetson.

Kind of a shame the hat aged better than me!!

You don't age, you just "ripen"! Cool hat.
