Nice looking cap, Dave. I'm liking the argyle sweater vest, too. I'm a big fan of those.

Thanks Dave.

I like that Resolut a lot. Nice recurve on the brim and great color.

I got out on the bicycle around noon and when I went past my favorite vintage store I saw they were open, but appt and one masked person at a time. They had an opening coming up so I booked it. And found this Stagecoach

I'm not so big on the hat, but that weave is cool!

Thanks Stefan. I wasn't planning on any shopping today, and sadly, they didn't have much of a summer hat collection on hand.

That was pretty much my feeling too, Jim. It's a neat weave for sure. I wonder if I could fedoraize it? Ha ha. I can say from my little wear of it today that it does have excellent ventilation properties.

Thanks,
Michael

Spent a good part of my day in the garden, populating with life. Still a bit more to go. The Akubra for the work, but no pic. Wore the silverbelly VS Artlite, and my filthy gardening clothes, for a walk before cooking dinner. Had my girls in tow. Beautiful day, I hope all is well.

This week I will feature various shades of Grey German and Austrian Velours. Most will be from the 1930s.

Stefan Esders Velour, Crown Open 6 inches, Brim 2 3/4 inches possibly late 1930s early 1940s maybe just post WWII. Stefan Esders was one of the Big 3 department stores in Vienna. There is no company mark on the paper label but most likely made by one of the Vienna hat companies. The medium weight Close Cropped Gray Velour has a fantastic finish and very soft hand. A great looking Form with a wide Brim and tall Crown. I found this hat back in March of 2017.
