Maybe a traditional alpenstock?

I really like how you shaped this hat. Looks good on you too.

Picked this one up in Munich back in the early 80's when stationed in Germany, added the metals from some of the towns I walked....

First of all, my congratulations to all those who, in the summer months, have kept alive the "tradition" of wearing hats.
Many were wonderful, so compliments fellow loungers.
I have bad news to give you: 90% of the photos I posted were "hosted" by tinypics who died, erasing most of the photos in my posts so those with needs to see my pictures can request them, they are all saved in my database and with patience can resurface
Finally weather allows us, in northest Italy, to wear felt hats, which I repeat, are my favorites

Today I wear a very recent arrival: modern Tonak with a suede and raw brim finish. Firs and third pictures have the right color

It is a great product that with a few touches could become splendid. The felt is of excellent quality, as well as the ribbon and the finishes, some perplexity on the shape, but it can be remedied

Bearing in mind that the suede finish is available only from some hatters and Tonak have around five different hats with this felt finish

Have a nice Saturday and my game is started again

I was thinking more Victorian like Dr. H.H. Holmes or Jack the Ripper, after Fruno got me to read this book on Holmes.

Awesome look Michael. Add a walking stick and you're ready to hike the Alps.

Ha ha, a walking stick and a new pair of lungs might do the trick for the Alps. I really wanted to get to the store today rain or no. So I changed to my Filson tin cloth hat and threw on a Woolrich slicker. Way too hot for the cape today, Bowen.

If I hadn't decided to go to the bike library too I would have gotten home dry. As it was I was under a steady rain on the last 20 minutes home.

Byer Rolnick Beaver 100 this morning. Thin as a dime felt. 3" brim and a 5" crown. Being careful of cross-winds.

That's a beauty Ken. Perfect felt.

Thanks,

Greetings All:
Today....it’s time for a reinstallment of the Mystery Black. Maybe more appropriately named the Seven Star American. Idk
Evidently neither does anyone else because as far as i know...i know nothing...but what is on the sweatband crest and that it is old old. It is kinda neat though.
So...any hat sleuths are welcome to have at it.
Be well. Bowen
Ps: whole new respect for pencil curlers and felt resilience and durability. Curlin ain’t easy!!

I love a great Jack the Ripper tale. Living here in Austin, TX it is theoried that Jack the Ripper started his terrer spree here in Texas before fleeing to England. The Midnight Assassin by Skip Hollandsworth. Very good reading also.

That is a really nice looking Tonak, Daniele. My fingertips can almost feel the suede finish on it. Congrats

Super sharp look B. Nice looking lid, great outfit, especially the jacket, and I really like the decor of the room you're in. My [emoji145] is off to, sir.

Like the hat, how tall is the finished crown?

4-1/4 in the front rising to 4-1/2, then dropping to 3-3/4 in the back

Love that hat Mr. B. I've seen several of you fellas on here with those curled brims, and have decided I need one too!! Waiting on it to be built as we speak.

Love the mystery hats.
Your curl looks even and consistent; a professional looking job. Very nice!

What a nice hat Ken!
Pic #2 is archive material. When they get down to dime thick they are amazing!!
Great, great hat!
Any idea the age of this one?
B

I don't really know the age. It does have a United Hatters & Millinery works / Int. Union / Registered label in the hatband. Maybe someone here can better tell the age by the hat liner?

Oh shucks, i’d like to take credit for the curl but it’s been there 80-90 yrs or so. Lol
I started in on the No.1 from yesterday but didn’t get far. Gotta admit after starting i was quickly thinking about a curling shackle.

Good afternoon. Grilling a lamb roast in the on and off again light rain. I am wearing a vintage green felt Knox Twenty. Guests arrive in a couple of hours so dinner preparation are at the frenetic stage.

Best, Eric -
