Great ribbon and bow treatment plus colour, Jim. Guessing it's not original to the hat.

Beautiful family, Max.

My son didn't come this Christmass because he was finishing up his Master's.
I couldn't grow a beard to save my life.

Get that man a hat!

In the pantheon of personal attributes, being able to grow a full beard ranks pretty low.

Nice, Steven. That’s the first emerald grey hat where I can see the emerald part.

You say that because you can.

You say that because you can.

Nope. And what does grow is mostly grey these days. My kids enjoy teasing me…Santa in training.

Thanks, Steve, nothing is original. This was just an old piece of felt that use to be a hat when I got it.

Stetson Nutria Quality Western
Late 1940’s to Early 1950s
Dark Brown Nutria Felt
About 5 inch crown as shaped (prob 6 Open)
Embroidered Stetson Nutria Liner
3 1/4 brim - 3 Ply Ribbon

So I’ve had a hankering for an older brown western. Cause you know…. Gotta keep up with my lack of cattle. Was thinking of something similar to my black Miller Western. Something with a softer older style moldable felt. I came across this Brown Stetson Nutria Quality and thought I could check two boxes at once. Asking price was a bit higher than I would normally want to go but I figured might not have another chance at one like this.

Out of the box it was in pretty decent shape. Still gave it a good brushing to clean up and steam for shape. As expected the Nutria felt is a bit more stiff than beaver/rabbit felts of the era…. Which I believe to be late 1940s to early 1950s…. But still shapes just fine.

I started by opening up the crown and working on the brim some. Then I settled on this center dent and front pinch. The fit and feel is perfect.

All and all it settles in nicely with what I was looking for. I wasn’t looking for a daily wear kinda hat.. but really it feels comfortable for me.

Looking good, Reggie!

It has been a Winchester Blue-mist beaver felt day, soooo far.

My walkabout was under the brim of a VS Executive fedora.

Home and some minor yard chores in a Gannon Playboy.

Cheers, Eric -

Outstanding hats as always, Eric.

Borlesso Homburg.

Hat #4 from the recent batch from The Netherlands.

Another looker, Steve. You know you don't need another black homburg, but these older ones get a pass anyway. I wonder how many different names there were trying to imitate Borsalino.

Good ol' reliable, rusty trusty 3X OR

If it works, it works (and it does). Nice one, Jim.

Such a great looking hat!

Royal Stetson.

I fell for the colour of this one when I saw it a few years back. A very deep orange/brown.

It's made under license in Germany, so Mayser made. It's similar to another RS I have made by them. That one has a ridge, too. This one, however, has a back bow. Love those. View attachment 421955 View attachment 421956 View attachment 421957

Unique colour on that one, Steve. Never seen another one like it since.

Fantastic hat, Bowen. And a cute pic of Willow to boot.

Hey all!
I'm taking this Chisnall for what I believe is it's first time out in the States.

I'm sure it must be. Good looking homburg, John.

Went to the One Moto Show with my son this afternoon. Wore my Wolfbrae renewed Mallory. The kid is sporting his souvenir hat.

Golden Week (a conglomeration of public holidays) started for me today in Japan. Five days off - I’ve got some pork belly curing in the fridge ready to become bacon.
I don’t usually post on workdays because I wear one of the same three hats every day.
I decided to go for something different today - trying to get another wear out my nicer hats before they go into boxes.
So it was my Tirard to work… View attachment 422197
…and later on, Etsuko & I went out for dinner - her in her Akubra Leisure Time

Another fantastic hat week, Stefan. I'm going to have to vote for the Barbisio just because it's different

It may look out of place where you live, but it sure looks right on your head.

Lubin wins hands down.
The western Barbisio cannot be seen (no se po vedè) Rome language, more or less ;-)
