Multiple likes! One for the Smartlee, and 10 for the defeat of the Patriots by the Dolphins!!!

A day we’ve been waiting for for over a decade. LOL.

Thanks a sharp Lee

Thanks Joe!

Following the lead of Daniele and Joe. I thought I would don my seasonal green shortest brim Melusine I could dig out of the pile.

Borsalino with the classic peluche finish.

Not really a stingy brim, but it was the best I could do today. Thanks for all of the likes and kind words. Have a great week.

Thanks!

Nice catch, Steve. Classic colours and proportions. I think I'd be inclined to make the squarish looking brim shape more rounded myself, but it does offer some variation this way.


Nothing wrong with black hats; they deserve more love here. I like that Mossant did a lot of their hats unlined.

Fantastic work as always, Terry. Nice contrast between ribbon and brim binding. Beautiful hat.


If the black hats are a theme, I'm all for it, John. That Lee is another winner!

Black hole velour goodness, Steve. The liner is epic.

Thanks Stefan!
The black hat thing wasn't meant to bd a theme, but hey! Here's another!
This J. C. Penney's Marathon Genuine Velour with it's up-brim overwelt and unique bow is from the Twenties.

That black Lee you wore yesterday was a fine looking fedora, John, and this Marathon looks fantastic! Especially for its age!
But I bet a hunderd bucks if you sent it to Eric’s or Alan’s house for a week it’d magically end up in mint condition!!

While your theory might have merit, there is one big problem. The special variant of the Pimm Particle that Alan and Eric developed to restore hats at the molecular level also shrinks them down to their sizes.
Dang evil scientists...

View attachment 293357 My small Church got canceled this week as the pastor and one of the deacons contracted corona.
So I just walked outside in the nasty weather long enough to strike this pose in my new Stephen L. Stetson conversion. It was a hat that would soon land in a landfill, but got a new lease in life instead. New ribbon and lots of work to be able to reuse the original sweat, but well worth it. View attachment 293359

Glad you could save it. Looks good.

Took two hats with me this weekend to perform in a Victorian opera house in Lead, SD. An 1890s top hat in which to perform, and my Texas Hatters silver belly derby to wear offstage.
I like to pay a visit to Wild Bill and Calamity Jane every so often; hats off to those legends.

Good afternoon. I have never had anything against black hats; as a matter of fact, I have a number of them, but I usually wear them on formal occasions and funerals. It just so happened that I lucked up while I was cruising through one of my local hat shops a couple of months ago, and the proprietor made a deal that I couldn't pass up. I like the look and feel of this one, and its shape goes along with my more recent casual lifestyle as a result of the pandemic. I have been wearing this hat all weekend.
Excellent Quality Stetson Bogie

An early 40s Marathon (Original cost: $4.96). Ah, that nip in the air.
Hope everyone is doing well!

I have the Stetson Bogie in phantom grey. Would like it in a darker color, but not pitch black. Is your a full back color, or more like dark charcoal grey? Hard to tell from pictures...Thank you, e@

Dorfman stingy again.

Stay safe everyone

Welcome, E A. The Stetson Bogie is definitely a black hat. From what I remember, they made them in black, phantom gray, and tobacco brown. Good luck with your search, and let me know what you find.

On the eighth day of Stingymas a Lounge friend gave to me...the 880! Been saving this one for today. My friend Brent from the Fedora Lounge gifted this beautiful Resistol 880 to me a while back. It is part of a series of models commemorating the "Jet Age" of the late 1950s/early 1960s. They had all the airliners, mostly by Boeing. The Convair 880 came out against the Boeing 707 and did not take off (pun intended). Elvis Presley bought one as his personal plane and named it the "Lisa Marie". I love a hat that tells a story!

 

[alanfgag]

It is green and is one of the latest purchases, so the series of greens continues before Christmas.

Barbisio Classic size 59 cm. or 7 3/8 US.
View attachment 291447
The color of the felt is "Soana" The valley which lies below the Gran Paradiso, north-west of Sagliano Micca, the place of production of the company founded by the Barbisio family in 1862.
View attachment 291448 The felt is of medium consistency and can be easily modeled without the use of steam.
The shape and styling is the one in vogue in the Fifties when they looked for alternatives to the classic hat in Italian production, even if this had already been done before World War II.
View attachment 291449
The finishes, as always in historical Barbisio, are of the highest quality

I want to thank all those who expressed their appreciation yesterday and today for the French and Italian hats I showed. Have a nice Sunday

That is one fantastic hat... and it looks as if made for you. Wear it with joy and in good health, Daniele.

What is this? A 7X Stetson Number 1 in Silverbelly? It’s gorgeous. It annoys me when I see hats like this because I have a huge head and no interest in working the resale market. Why can’t they still produce this hat?
