A subtle beauty Alan.

This ventilated Knox straw has become my go to hat this summer. I‘ve become partial to this asymmetrical upbrim look it has.

Today’s choice.

The first to arrive of my recent postings in the “waiting for” thread.

This was a sample for 2017 Kentucky Derby hats by Biltmore, but is exactly the same as their Guelph hat mentioned in their 100 year anniversary catalogue. As I mentioned in the other thread, this is the third I have of that series.

Fitted size (7 1/4) and leather sweatband

The eyes kept following me around the room (shudder).

Hufvud that I reshaped yet again. Too warm for felt, but it was nice wearing it for a few minutes anyway.

I picked my Akubra Carbon Grey Stylemaster for walking our dog earlier. As with all of my Akubra’s, It is a great hat and color.

Have a safe and blessed day.

Latest Arrival Penney’s Marathon

Penney’s Marathon
Medium Charcoal Grey
4 3/4 Crown as shaped
1 1/8 matching grosgrain ribbon
2 1/4 brim with 1/8 matching binding

Came across this cool Penney’s Marathon at a super low Buy It Now price that I could not pass up. The photos showed it would need some reshaping… and on top of that it arrived in a box about half the size of the hat. So a serious steaming and brushing was in order. I think it came out quite well. While brushing, I was able to minimize a few discoloration spots that actually hide themselves fairly well. There are a few moth nips here and there.. but nothing too bad.

I really like the color of the felt.. a medium charcoal grey. The tones somehow shift from blue to yellow depending light. I love the styling with the signature Marathon ribbon work.

It was sold as a size 7 though from the pictures the size tag appeared to also have a fraction after the 7 that I could not make out. Turns out the size is 7 1/4. Somehow however… due to I’m guessing a little bit of shrinkage it actually fits fairly well. Just seats a tad lower than I regularly wear my hats. Would not want to wear it on a windy day.. but still comfortable.

I have almost another probably early 1950s Marathon with this styling in tan that I really enjoy. This one… Considering the logo and sweat I’m gonna guess a bit later… maybe late 50s early 60s. I figured due to the size.. I might move this one along.. but being that it’s fitting fairly well.. I may keep it around for a little while anyway.
