I’ve been wearing this hat that I just made . It’s a little crude, but fits great, and comfortably. It’s 165g western weight bunny felt. It might be charcoal, but looks pretty much black. Brim is 3.5” and I’m considering trimming it a little more but going to let it sit for now. I blocked it on one of my two blocks that have the same specs— 52 block.
I made the band years ago and thought it worked nicely with this hat. The sharks tooth was one I had found as a kid on shark tooth island, on the Potomac River, that my parents had a jeweler drill a hole in.

Yesterday evening I was sport'n a Supernatural Tulcan Panama. I have a few Supernatural hats and to a one they are excellent. This hat is light as a feather and a prized hat on my hat rack.

I wore a Stetson Playboy for this mornings walkabout.

A Stetson Whippet was my hat for some yard chores.

Cheers, Eric -

How cool. Well done, Jeff.

I know it'll soon be time to break out my panamas, but I could not resist this thrift store find! It's a Werner Hilton, a clothier from St. Louis, no longer in business. The hat just needed a little dusting and was good to go!
The only issue is there is a mark on the band from a pin, and the trolley button isn't real.
The last date I could on the web for Werner Hilton was an ad from 1965, so i have no idea of the age. On the inside of the sweat band is a stamp with 'L B C' on it. The B is larger. My guess is the manufacturer could be Biltmore? the two other labels are 100% Beaver and $25. If any of you have more info about the store, or the marks, that would be appreciated.

I have a Werner-Hilton as well. it feels great on the head, and luxurious in the hand.

2 inch brim. 4 1/2 crown.

A final installment in the montecristi chronicles of summer 2023... a hat from Arthur Stevens shop in Boston.

Eating dinner at home following afternoon errands, under the brim of the heritage SBCD. It is a darn lovely day out there, friends.

Indoors or out, this Campdraft has everything I need in a full-time cranium companion: it is rugged, comfortable, light-colored, attractive and fun to wear, plus has a very soft hand. This is my next work hat, which is why it has pride of place in my collection with the campaign cord and kookaburra feather - both inherited from my original 50s Stetson 3X.

I don’t know what I’ll do to replace this hat when it finally wears thin. They don’t make these anymore, which is a real shame. But that’s still years away, luckily.

A heck of a hat.

Probably shouldn’t ask me Rusty!!

I can’t drive a car and talk to someone without getting lost. When the phone rings and takes over the audio system i wait to be abducted by aliens.
Best some of our super-thinkers and rationally unchallenged chart that course.
Truthfully, i don’t even know what a sticky is other then…nvm.

Wearing this today.
It’s a “cover” not a hat!

A cover is the only hat I won’t wear indoors.

Another nice one, Nathan.

The ribbon sets off the weave of that Montecristi a treat, Bill, fabulous.

In the "high waist pants/trousers" I posted the trousers that Tina finally finished. All I need now is a hat to go with them, Gamble & Gunn didn't disappoint. We have returned from the fantastic Twinwood Festival, where both hat and trousers were worn. The hat was much admired as was Tina's effort on the trousers.

I have spent a few quid whilst at Twinwood, more to come.

Bantam welterweight today. Very cool blue color. Looks almost purple in the sun.

Great color combo

Thanks, Joe. the temps finally dipped enough for a nice felt. In the meantime, I've been wearing my Peters Bros. Milans, mostly.

Real nice Marathon! Have you got a shot of the inside?

Here's a link to when I scored it.

How was the festival? From the website, it looks like a really fun and unique event!
