Very early 60s Stetson. 2 5/16 brim.
Sewed this silk/cotton wide binding on last night. Works good, but the cotton/rayon is better.

Rainy day. Silver Label Light-Lee today. Very soft felt, felted edge.

Great job Randall.

That whole thing only works because of the pink flip-flops. Great hat dude.

LOL, I was about to write the same thing....

My Father’s Day Whippet

This one arrived a couple weeks ago but I quickly surrendered the box to my wife to hold for today. I finally get to see what the whippet hype is all about. Beautiful hat and a wonderful time tonight with the family at the beach

Happy Father’s Day

Great hat and wonderful family photos Joe !

Hückel Weilheim "Chamois", possibly later 1950s. The fawn colored felt is lighter weight and easily dry creases.

Hückel Weilheim "Chamois" models most likely came from the factory with color coordinated small feathers.

Hückel Weilheim Hat Boxes, made by Zeitler - Karton, Murnau / Oberbayern possibly early to later 1950s. The company moved to Murnau in 1949 and are still in business today.

Very nice, and love that box !!

Wearing my first Nutria Quality today thanks to Justin @J Williams for tipping me off to it. Incredible hat, don’t think it was ever worn. Not a sign of an old crease anywhere in the open crown. Made it hard for me to even bash it, LOL. Still working on the shape. More in the New Hats thread later.

Not what we might consider the stylish panama for the man about town, this modern Mayser panama is a real workhorse in the garden and around the house.

92f, sunny, still and 50% humidity.
Gotta go. I have a few weeks of post to catch up with.

Update: winds kicking up to a mighty 4mph. Now it's like a gentle convection oven.

Stefan, Thank you!

Great series of mostly Italian light weight felts by you this past week! I very much appreciate seeing the weight of each hat!

Thanks, Steve. I'm trying to figure out if the weight has some sort of a relation with any of the quality designations. Nothing conclusive so far (hardly a surprise).

 

[steur]

This one is 72g. Here is my original post from when I got it: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/the-dobbs-diner.18579/page-82#post-2185621

Not certain about the Playboy. I'll need to weigh that one.

Thanks, Jim. Certainly is a very light one.

 

[steur]

Stefan, we have to say thanks to the old Italian hatters who managed to produce consistent and very light felts.
Nobody like them
Thank you for keeping the level of Italian production high

Thanks, Daniele. That's what I find fascinating about them; the amount of skill to pounce it as thin as possible without going through the felt.

 

[steur]

Wonderful light weights. Looking good Stefan.

Thank you, Joe!

Gorgeous blue colour, Max. Would have like a bit more flourish on the bow.

Hi friends.

Just checking in to show that I'm still around

Wore my Royal Stetson OR today on this dull day in Denmark.

I have a lot of catching up to do.

Hope all are well.

Great to see you, Steve. Looking good!

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.

Thanks, Michael. Some of them are so light you hardly notice wearing them. Recommended! Still like the panama.

Very nice, and love that box !!

Tim, Thank you! You are looking great in your pristine Stetson "Nutria Quality"! The sunshine really shows off the felt quality!

With or without the hype a cool looking hat, Joe.
