I do like that ribbon, Eric.

Out this morning in a vintage Stetson Beachcomer.

Cheers. Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -

In those pictures, the felt looks to have color similar to the old stock black cherry. Very nice, Joe. It may just be my monitor.

Lee Water Bloc Silver Label for a trip to grab an Italian sub for lunch and a zoom birthday party for the sister-in-law.

Dark Chocolate Brown “Panda Felt” a velour like finish

Thanks Randy. It's a rich chocolatey brown. In some lights it does show some red hues

Another fine velour Steve. Looking good

You can post that one as often as you like, Steve. Such a great hat..

Stefan, Thank you! The "Marke Förster" is fantastic. I think I missed this one back when you found it. I believe it was made by Max Förster Altenburg.

Day 16 of 31 Hat Parade: Let's talk Beater/Work hats. Today was off and on rain, gray but mild. I spent a couple of hours revamping a flower bed in the hopes that people might see it at our ACT 4th of July BBQ. This late 1950 Stephen L. Stetson fedora is a fine example. I wear this one while working on sets at the theater, it can take it. This brand of hat is very interesting, Stephen Stetson was a shirt tail relative (as the story goes) of the famous hat maker John Stetson. Most people have heard of that brand. A lawsuit in the 1930s against Stephen was solved by him putting "Never Connected in Any Way" in the company logo.

Very cool Mike. I think we’d all enjoy a “beater” of this quality. And a cool piece of history

Thanks Mike! You have a fantastic collection. Love to see that navy Gannon again one day.

Alley Kat Hat Co. 100% beaver moss green hat today on the Masked Corona Crawl down the hill and along the coastal trail to the beach. Low 80s, lots of sun, no surfers, no crowds on the beach, not much surf, but the swimming was great and I got in a little body surfing.
Covid test came back negative, but I put my new lap top computer in a back pack along with a leaky bottle of cough medicine. I am sorry to have to report that it did not respond well to the medication, and the side effects in this case proved fatal. Condolences will be accepted via text. Apple has been notified.
