Thanks, Stefan. Nice group of hats last week. The Borsalino and the Dunn & Co are my favorites. I also like your overcoat selection. If you feel so inclined I would love to see a full length shot of that military style coat.

Thank you, Reggie. I will do my best.

Very nice, Reggie. A velour homburg is something that's still missing in the collection.

Roll on Panama hat weather, but for now I shall just have to wear something that resists whatever the weather throws at us. A raincoat and brolly go with this outfit, the bespoke hat may not fair too well in the rain.

Best to keep it safe then, Robert. Excellent outfit as always.

Thank you as always Stefan. I'm in the market for a rich deep blue fedora, darker then royal blue, richer than navy blue. Tina tells me that there's such a colour as royal navy, does it strike a chord with you?

If there isn't such a colour, there should be!

This is the second conversion I did several years ago. It started out as a too small Resistol Stagecoach with a 3 1/2 brim width. I've done a couple of ribbon changes on this one over the last few years and finally decided on this 2 1/2 inch Burgundy ribbon. It sports a tall vertical crown with a 2 3/4 brim width...

I gave my bow work a slight upswoop:

This Wolfbrae of yours is one of my Lounge Favs, Steve.

Condolences on the closing of Noma. I was never there, but when a restaurant closing in Copenhagen is mentioned over here, (in the Wall Street Journal) it must have been AMAZING.

Resistol Clear Beaver Seventy Five, bought on New Years Day. Had a Cattleman's crease which I've mostly steamed out. Will work some more on shaping it.

I’ve never seen one of these before. Great hat! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, Brent. I wasn't familiar with this Resistol myself, but this came up for eBay auction, so I searched the Lounge and found only 1 other discussed, and someone posted a sales receipt for one sold in 1974 prices at $75.

Stetson 15

Also wearing this Shudde Beaver Deluxe, 3 1/4 inch raw brim, which I guess dates from the late 50's or early 60's and made from a Stetson blank. Just bought this on New Years Day and just steamed it from Cattleman's crease to this shape a few minutes ago.
