Newest arrival…

Willoughby - Forest Green Heather
4 3/8 Crown as shaped
1 3/4 Dark Green Grosgrain Ribbon
2 1/8 brim with triple stitched over welt

I received an offer to purchase this Willoughby hat, that I had seen “bobbing in the ‘bay” for a bit, for just $16 and I could not say no to that deal. Right out of the box two things were apparent. First any concern I had about size was eliminated when it fit perfectly on my head and second.. the color of the felt was a much deeper darker green than in the photos. What appeared as a lighter heathered green or maybe a bit teal was actually darker forest green heather felt and a very dark green grosgrain ribbon. Quite happy about that as it is unlike anything else in my collection.

The felt is fairly dense and somewhat stiff with a medium hand to it. The 2 1/8 brim is nicely finished with a triple stitched over welt. There is no liner but I suspect it likely had one originally as there is no crown tip logo and the felt does not feel to be of the lighter weight summer composition. The 2 1/4 in sweatband is of the reeded variety taped in the rear seam and sewn in through the front side of the band with a single thread. My only other Willoughby has an unreeded sweat.. but I suspect this hat is older based on the depth of the sweat imprint. But I don’t have much else to go on with no tags under the sweat.

Everyone has been breaking out the brown derbies lately— this light brown/tan one is wonderful!

I wore my Weather Hats silver belly BOP the other day, but have almost exclusively been wearing the charcoal western I made.

Have to agree with that. I would have replied to the original post but that's on a previous page which, at present, is taking so much time to load it would make me late for church.

My green fedora in keeping with the green theme.

The Morreton, it just ticked the boxes, so too did that trenchcoat underneath The Battersby. Tina and I have had a rather busy weekend. She was photographed as much as the car at the classic show we attended.

You are going to need both of those fine straws Stefan. Sicilian weather currently
verging on 30C that's around 86F and it's getting warmer still.
Just crack the top off a cold beer, sit back and soak up that Mediterranean sunshine.

Mixed it up yesterday, multiple times, with my Limpia Creek black western, Baron Hats dark moss bowler to see the Young Dubliners, and my Buckaroo tan heather western crossover for this morning’s tea.

You did a great job on that hat, Jeff. Very impressed!

What a kind compliment, thank you Joe. What
an interesting straw, I love the ribbon(s) but
looking at it from this angle makes me think:
"I've got to leave the Jack Daniels alone!"
