Thanks Alan. I think I'll get out on the bike directly. Will have to find a cap to wear for that.

Looks good, Michael.

Thanks Jim. I really like the color on the Dallas you had on yesterday.

Thanks all,
Michael

The Montecristi I bought from Brent last night made me feel like wearing this one to tide me over until I c

an pick up the new one from my brother-in-law's in Texas. It might take a while until I do.

Bon Vivant theme at my house.

Yesterday afternoon I completed some chores in a Playboy.

Yesterday evening walk in a Stetson Playboy. This unlined blue ribboned Playboy has the unique old style imprint on the leather sweat.

This morning's walkabout I wore an unlined Stetson Playboy.

Errands (butcher and local brewer) and brunch in a lined Playboy.

There's a huge beer shortage in Mexico right now. I don't really like beer, but many friends of mine are hurting.

Thanks Stefan. There is a lot of peachy undertone on this one in the right lights. Someone else posted one that must have been from the same batch of felt.

I really like the low roll on the brim this Huckel has. Made a very good look, to my eye.

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks, Michael.

Vintage Stetson today for an eye doctor appointment and errands.

It may not be the coveted Borsalino, but it is an excellent looking hat, Mike.

This week I will feature the C. G. Wilke Guben, Germany Hat Factory. Founded by Carl Gottlob Wilke in 1822 Guben, Germany. He invented the weather-proof wool hat and was a major contributor in the mechanization of hat making. C. G. Wilke manufactured both Wool and Fur (including Velour) Soft and Stiff Felt Hats. C. G. Wilke Factory was severely damaged during WWII. Guben was the largest hat making center in Germany up to WWII but was heavily damaged during the war. What remained of the Guben Hat Industry infrastructure after WWII was nationalized as VEB United Hutwerke Guben (Guben was located in the GDR).

C.G. Wilke "Bürstel Electra", Open Crown 6 inches, Brim 2 1/4 inches probably mid to later 1930s. The gray Velour finish is really nice and it still has the original paper size label. It originally had a Crease Clip/Holder. I could tell by the wear on the liner label and the remnants of a very sharp center crease.

"The Wilke Hat has no Dark Side, but still in the Shadow, you can see the Wilke Hat"

I can attest to the superb quality of the Wilke velours. They knew their trade alright. Wonderful example, Steve.

That is spectacular, Michael. Aboslutely love it. We see far too few of these staples of the past for gentlemen.

Made a foray onto Base today and got to sit in my chair for a couple of hours. The occasion was some laptop repair. Teleworking is very nice, but I still like "going to work."

Took the opportunity to wear my Mallory Dallas on TAR Tuesday.

Being a Mallory it seems to sit just a notch above other TAR hats, but that could just be my imagination.

Oooh, very nice, Max. Killer ribbon.

Just like Jim's example, these Mallorys bring something extra to the game. Gorgeous hat.

Fabulous, Perry. Seems quite soft for a Stetson. I like it.

Good thing you have a spare hat, Max.

German week. Week two day three.
Tell or Marke Tell. This hat was a "John Doe hat" until Steve @mayserwegener discovered the logo was for a brand called Marke Tell. Woolfelt survivor hat and with a clip to boot.

Thought I'd mention, liking the jacket also Sir! I'm a sucker for a spearpoint/dagger collar ahah!

I'm a big Mallory fan, so let's say two notches.

Beautiful PBs Eric.

Thanks Perry. Unusual times call for me to spend some time enjoying the 1st world riches that can be found on my hat tree.


In supporting local small business I have a weekly delivery from our local beer brewery. My blue-collar tastes have me enjoying the hoppy and sour taste of beer, Our liquior store provides everything else. Support local is good Max.

Thanks sir. I am enjoying your German show.

More German show! Cheers. Those hat clips are curious. They do an excellent job achieving the "look." When I see the "clipped" hats, I suspect they should have some crown height to them. Thanks for sharing.
