Just found this gem earlier today!! Reblocking and reshaping today!! It’s a Dobbs does anyone know what year it was made? It’s in excellent condition. I could’ve swore I saw Eric wearing the same one. Cheers everyone!

Fantastic looking hat, but impossible to tell without seeing some of the markings on the interior. It's a beautiful color combo. You should post more shots in the Dobbs Diner.

Fantastic ensemble, Mike. Hopefully, you gave the other customers something to think about and they'll up their game next time round :)

It has been too long since I posted my sartorial expeditions into the Covid wasteland. Today's foray to the Safeway Thunder dome called for a vintage hand painted late 50s tie and my custom Black Cherry fedora from Mike Miller at NW Hats. The gray blazer is a Goodwill snag and my navy Ferragamo brogue oxfords were fished out of the 'bay. For some reason, I was the only person in the store wearing this level of couture, I just don't understand...

Finally had a bit of light today, so was able to take photos. I chose to wear this Joseph E. Ward (one of the many great Manchester hatmakers) Homburg. Thought it befitted a semi-grey November day. IMG_20201114_135802_1.jpg IMG_20201114_135836.jpg

Great looking colour combination and ribbon treatment, Frank.
You'll need to post photos of the inside of the hat (liner, sweatband, under the sweat etc.) to get a more definite answer to your question.

Looking Sharp, Mike. And that hat is just too nice.

Thanks. Got it off an ebayer from Gilmore, TX about ten years ago. Bought a couple Dobbs from her and she tossed it in the box with them as a gift. Fits better than any custom I've ever had made and the proportions are perfect for my melon, 7 1/2+1/16th extra long oval. Thin as construction paper and ideal stiffness.
Great looking hat! Gilmer is home the annual Yamboree celebrating all things yam!
