Haha, thanks B. ;-)

Hope you are ok Pellie.
Forgive my jest. I just can’t resist medical humor. Occupational hazard from a previous life.
Get well.

Today....a fellow lounger was inquiring about Alley Kat Hats by Tim M. so i’m sporting this green one.
This is a Tim hat circa 2013 when he was still known as CRM, Cane Rod Maker Hats, prior to becoming Alley Kat Hats.
It is CRM #28 from 6 years ago and is a beautifully hand built/finished hat that is very impressive work imho.
Thanks Tim, we need more of your work.
Be well. Bowen

Whoa that's sweet Bowen, I'm green with envy ...

Very nice, B. The colors work great together.

Decided on a formal Austrian Homburg for my trip to Costco this morning (had to dress up, I wasn't going to Walmart or anything...), venturing out in our first real rain for weeks. This deep forest green Hut Schick dress felt gets a 1920s style pinch, after all, we are going into the second Roaring Twenties in just a few weeks! This hat is from the "onion skin" liner era, so probably very early 50s at the newest.

Good to see you back Mike. Hope your recovery is speedy and that back to your former self real soon. That Strat clone looks the business, Esther made me one much the same. Now that three pointed star on the grille, under the hat, I'm sure that you could do better than that:

Great looking Alpine style Borsalino from the Italian side of the Alps, Joe.

The second of my trio of hats via Stefan. A Tonak Antelope from 1962. Although not as fine and velvety soft as my Oberländer Antelope it is still one well made velvet hat from the heyday of post WWII Tonak hat production.

Always good to see you, Mike. Although, I think etiquette calls for a top hat and morning dress for a trip to Costco.

I didn’t mean to have 4 or 5 black hats but they seem to keep finding me.

Wearing this 3X Stetson today. Recieved this one from a fellow lounger.

Better a Physiotherapist than a Psychotherapist, i always say. At least you know when you’re done with one.
Oops, my daughter is a Psychiatrist!
Good hat P.
B

The professionals are the craziest ones of all. Believe me, I know. My wife was a psych major.

Yes, even. Just like any hat, gotta wear it like you own it. Attitude attitude attitude. Just not with short pants and cowboy boots.... kinda ruins the look.

But...what if I have nice legs?

Looking chique in that Schick Hut, Mike. Good to see you back. Hope you're feeling as good as you look.

An old teddy bear hat... perhaps pre-WWI.

Another beauty in your collection, Alan. How does the liner look if it has one or not?

That’s a brand I haven’t heard of. I do like me a nice green hat, and you wear this one well.

They're a newer hat maker. Less than 10 years old I think. London has a lot of hat makers in it. Christy's, Lock & Co, Bates, and Laird(the new kids on the block).

Hi Steve... this was a trade with another lounge member. The sweatband and ribbon had been replaced by Art Fawcett. Fortunately, the original sweat was retained. To my knowledge there was no liner. The velour body is something special.
