Wegener, Paper Label missing, possibly mid 1920s to later 1920s. Fantastic Felt with a very soft hand. Over Welt Brim with Hidden Stitch, Tall Crown with Wide Band, Crown Tip Patch survived. Found this hat back in September 2014.

Walkabout in an Akubra Camp Draft. A quick rain shower passed. The hat and I are dry upon our return home. This CD is the Fedora Lounge version of years ago (2.5" brim on a bluegrass hat). I removed the liner as I have used the hat for hard chores, weather and in use the liner made the hat too hot. Rain and weather has the leather sweat showing thru the felt on the outside. I need to work the hat on a block with some steam.

Work has kept me away from posting regularly, but the hats were there. Summer felts is the theme. Or lightweights if you will; all under 100 grams.

Relying on the count of montecristi weaves as the standard of quality is a bit like judging a violin by its strings. Each hand woven Panama goes through a lot of fine tuning to play its music... the weaver's skill harmonizing with a hatter's blocking. A lot of opportunities for wrong notes. A fine montecristi is truly a thing of beauty. It is also quite heavy and dense - perhaps not the most comfortable choice for a hot, humid day. Here is one sold under the Cavanagh brand, 11 vueltas, nicely woven and handsomely finished as you would expect from this premier brand. A happy solstice to all my hat friends!

What does eleven vueltas mean, Alan?

Classic panama look; hard to beat, Michael.
Thanks Stefan. I like it so much I went with it again today.

That is one fine collection of lightweight felts. I'm not sure I have even one that goes under 100 g.

Macy's Men's Store again.
