It is useless to tell you that I follow you almost every day, you know that we share the same passion for hats.
How needless to tell you that I know this is the wrong place to put a cap and not a hat
Today is the first day of half freedom and I celebrated it by spending my morning at the dentist
Hopefully better tomorrow

It’s good to see you at all. Enjoy your freedom!

Great to see you Daniele. Hope everything went well with the Dentist and maybe you can do something more enjoyable tomorrow.

There could be a better way to celebrate freedom than seeing a dentist, eh Daniele?

Good Monday morning folks.

Yesterday evening I took a walkabout in a Knox Westlite. This durable hat has a stiffer brim that was needed in the stiff wind. The bigger brim works with this hat's proportions.

This mornings long 2 hour jaunt was done in a Gannon Wanderer (inspired by the Stetson of said name). This silvermist felted fedora was worn in the same hard charging manor of the Gannon this past weekend. I was curious as to the effect on this black leather sweat. The natural (very comfy) sweat I perspired through on Staurday. Today the moisture did not. Damp, but good to go.

I stopped in similar locations during my swift walk to wipe off my bald head and brim imitating my natural sweat jaunt of the other day. Today my decision is to have commissioned hats to have the finished leather sweat and not elect for the most comfortable natural leather) sweat. This was not a "study" or intended to do anything but to satisfy my curiosity. My hat lifestyle is my hat lifestyle. I offer the above as an anecdote.

More hat adventures to come. Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -

One of my favorites!

Thanks Bill. One of my top 5 for sure.

Thanks, Michael.


Aahh, excellent! It's been a while since we've seen that one.


So many great hats to look at. Thanks for posting all of these, Eric.

Thanks Stefan. If only they had made this model in blue.

German week will more likely end up being German month. Week one is closing with this one.
Echter Mayser Superbe.

Fantastic looking felt.

Wonderful color

Thanks Joe. I enjoyed your month of hats immensely.

A vented montecristi for today. It started out as a Montecristi Custom Hat Works that needed a bit of restoration. I sent it to The Northwest Hat Co and Mike did his magic.

Wow, those last two straws are perfect, Bill. But I am glad it's not straw hat weather here, yet.

Love that Hanover Square Michael ! I’m still looking for one.

Thanks Tim. Looks like you were having fun in the straw.

Thanks all,
Michael

A couple of hats that did not make my last post as they were still uploading to my pic host.

Yesterday I was wearing a vintage Turf Club Royal DeLuxe. Truly this fedora has a lovely felt.

This morning a dog soiree was taken in a charcoal Gannon.

Starting some on-line Zoom workouts shortly. Cordova Cap and coffee at the ready.

Cheers, Eric -

Thank you, Joe

Very debonair sir.

Very debonair sir.

 

[Steve1857]

Thank you, Tim. Definitely a keeper

Great looking Bowler Steve !!

 

[Steve1857]

Thanks, Randy.

Yes, a great name indeed

Oldham and Fogg, now that is a name that just sounds like an old hat company!!! Looks great, Steve.

 

[Steve1857]

Great to see you, Daniele.
Stay safe

Doggie walk latsr night with a Hanover Square that required some TLC and a new sweat. I refer to it as the Frunover Square to differentiate from the near-pristine one I got from @BobHufford.

Today, a RD Stetson heathered two-tone with an incorrigible brim that doesn't want to stay down.

A heather two-tone and a Hanover (Sorry: Frunover) Square: you're going for the bonus points, Jim!

Stefan, Thank you! I will switch to a different company. The mystery company will be an addition to your ongoing German series.

Fantastic Mayser "Superbe"! Also the mixed Rein Haar from yesterday!

Thanks, Steve.

Stetson Sovereign:

You really scored with that one, Brent! Magnificent hat.

Thanks, Stefan. I haven't been posting much, so I might as well make it count. I actually had to get up this morning, get dressed, and go somewhere. It was nice.

Now that's a beaut, Max.

Superbe indeed, Stefan.

Thanks, Steve. I used to think Mayser was more of an average hatmaker. I know better now.

Third hat from the Stefan batch. An Oldham and Fogg Bowler. One of the Manchester area hat makers based in Hyde and established in 1864.

Sits so nicely atop my bald head. Lovely feel to the felt, nice overall shape and dimensions. I think this is going to be one of my favourite Bowlers. View attachment 232586 View attachment 232587 View attachment 232588 View attachment 232589

Excellent, Steve. Glad to see it worn as it should be.

Great lines there

Thank you, Joe.

Some good guy hats for a sunny day...

Apart from you posting the most jawdropping hats, Alan, I am in awe how well your pictures show the texture of the felt on the hats.

Splendid, Bill. That is some flashy bow on that hat.
