You all have seen enough of this old mug as it is.

 

[T Jones]

Do they get any better than that?? A real beauty!

Thank you buddy!

Wonderful, Steve. I particularly like the liner and sweatband. Not often you see a light coloured sweat in a Fedora. A truly striking hat.

Steve, Thank you! I agree. I haven't worn it in a while. Temps dropped so I gave it a spin.

Got to get stuff done before 8:00am today. Up early and went for a walkabout in a Stetson Stratoliner (Cadet Blue felt).

Errands to do; quick run to pick up more coffee, fuel for the auto, car wash, and a stop at the bakery. I was sport'n a minty 30's Lawrence. This unlined fedora is part of the Hurley Hat shop find.

Home I enjoyed a fresh coffee wearing a Wormser.

My bush trimming fedora is a Stetson Playboy Air Light.

I tackled picking up more fallen limbs, twigs and detris that has showed since the melting of the snow. I am wearing a VS Stratoliner inspired fedora (dove beaver felt).

Back to resuming the day's tasks.

Cheers, Eric -

Thanks for the hat compliment sir. It is a pleasure to be its curator.

A two-fer. Last night, out drinking with some fellow Catholic reprobates, I wore this summer weight Resistol.

And out this morning in a modern Excellent Strat.

Absolutely incredible blue color on your Stratoliner, Eric.

Oh, it's the same.

We just feel really guilty after.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Jota" "Seal Velour" possibly later 1930s. This is a dark metal gray close cropped Seal Velour. I found this one back in December of 2020. It was part of nine hat find.

Blue 1930's Kensington fedora meet Minnesota snow. Snow meet the blue fedora.

Old post but very unique there sir Eric. Do the folds/pleats on the crown sides somehow disappear or blend into the top of the crown?

The puffy inserts end on the top of the crown.

The inserts are sewn on the felt.

It is a 30's hat sold at Hurley's Hats, Canada. made in by the Wolthausen Hat Corporation of Brockville, Ontario. A bunch more info here - https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/brock-hats.91490/page-2#post-2751557 .

Very cool and unique! Thanks for reposting the info link. I appreciate your vast collection and the time and effort that you undertake to catalog them here.
It’s individuals such as yourself that make this site such a valuable tool and reference for vintage wear.
As I’ve said before… when I grow up I hope I have a few like your yours.

Greetings All:
Today….out from under a rock and under a Borsalino MGL Ecosti in lovely Lino.
Such a peachy fuzzed felt.
Be well and safe

My new Emko, which we're tentatively dating to the 1910's, just back from Randall rebuilding and upsizing, while keeping it 100 percent original. I believe these are Nutria or Nutria blend fedoras, when compared side by side with my known Nutria hats.
