English Velour in a ecru-y brown View attachment 287261 View attachment 287262 View attachment 287264

Wayne, Super! It's great to see an English Velour. I would like to see more details if possible. Austrian Velour was a thorn in the English Hat Industry's side.

The Stetson DeLuxe Vogue, originally priced @ $12.50, was my hat choice for morning excursions to pick up a pound of freshly roasted coffee. I need new coffee for my last on-line continuing education class of the semester this morning. I headed out in the Stetson hat.

On-line does not mean I can not dress dapperly. My fellow on-line classmates do dress better than average.
About the fedora - This unique 40's hat is a very unique green hue sport'n a maroon/brown edge and ribbon treatment.

Cheers, Eric -

Have a good day,

I couldn’t pass this one up, at the price. New to me and wearing it today. A little stingy for my preference lately, but I think wearable.

Oh my! If anyone wants to know how to wear a top hat, that's how!!

With style, flare, and a "damn you, I look good" attitude.

So cool Jonathan.

Thanks all for the comments and likes on the hairy green Dobbs. Tis also the season for the Stetson top hat:

That's a great story of love and determination, Gary.

My story's not as exotic or as interesting as yours, but I often think to myself, wow, you made it in another country man.

I'd definitely like to hear more about yours.

Long story. Here’s part 1:
New Zealanders are great travelers and it’s almost traditional to do an OE (overseas experience) straight out of university. Mine was to Japan, where I had a friend who organised a job for me in Kyoto. The plan was to stay for 6 months. While there, I undertook some language study (at the oldest language school in Japan - we studied while sitting on tatami mats at a low table). I extended my stay to a full year, during which time I gained a degree of proficiency in the language, but I had caught the bug and wanted to study more, so after an 18 month stay in New Zealand, I got back on a plane, this time without a job organised. I managed to find someone to employ me (on the sly, while I got my student visa organised) and spent my mornings at a language school and my afternoons working. Once my student visa came through, I began teaching English in the evenings. After that, met a girl, got married (in a shrine in traditional Japanese garb) and although we did spend about four years back in New Zealand (during which time I qualified as a high school maths & Japanese teacher), my wife had limited English and I missed Japan, so back we came. I taught English again, but my company went under (very stressful times). I got a job with the board of education, but wasn’t happy with it, so it was back to the books again, this time studying extramurally through a New Zealand university to get a post graduate diploma in teaching English as a second language with the expressed purpose of getting the position I’m in now. That gave us better security and allowed us to build a house & put down roots.
How’s life in Japan? Well clearly it agrees with me, but I’ll leave that for another day (if you’re still interested after reading this lengthy post!)

Molto bello il cappello, meno il papillon

That is a great British tight brim Bowler, Jeff.

Some cool hats you've been posting again. Great to see you back on the FL.

New/old Stetson Sovereign Twenty Mode edge. Hard to see in this pic but I gave it a tight pinch and pulled the brim lower to give it more of a 40's look.

Great Scott! That’s a fine hat! (As a certain cinematic professor, who wore one like it, might say)
Like the suspenders, too.

Your auto must have one seriously high roof to facilitate the lofty crowns you wear!

Very sharp Randy.

Mission accomplished I'd say, Randy. Great looking Stetson Sovereign. Nice work on the tweaks.

Thanks, Steve. I'm not much into blues but I really like how this one shines.

We are back to 14 day quarantine for visitors to this island, but during a brief window of open travel, I had my Gannon retrieved from storage and brought over. I am enjoying the cooler temperatures wearing 100% beaver felt in the tropics.
