What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[alanfgag]

Borsalino Visone (mink)... a beautiful velour felt hat likely sold shortly before or shortly after the Second World War.

Post office run in a Cav.
Nasty wet weather last two weeks .
We’re past needing boats.
Bad time for my submarine to be in the shop. View attachment 587606 View attachment 587607 View attachment 587608

The Cav looks great, Randall!

That looks like if the wind picks up, it might carry you off.

It hasn’t yet!

H.C. Capwell made by Caxton. Last time I had this one out I got caught in a downpour. I noticed today what looked like some color seepage from the ox blood ribbon. On closer inspection it appears it may have come from the wind cord as it only shows in areas touched by the cord. Very unusual.

Thank you Joe, and same for the Capwell. Too bad about the staining but it looks like the wind cord would cover it?

Wonderful Brüder Böhm velour, Steve. Love the wide ribbon.

What's the true colour? Looks midnight blue like on my phone.

Fantastic stamps, too. Great finds.

Steve, Thank you! It's black so probably camera related.

Thanks Nathan. Oh definitely it covers it fine.. because it was the culprit… I think. When poking and prodding I expected to find more staining under the ribbon but there was none. Thought for a moment it was due to gravity and length of time for the dye to drip down. Then I noticed it was only where the cord touched the felt And in the couple areas the cord wasn’t touching the felt. Like near the bow.. none. It is weird because the staining is similar color to the ribbon.. and the cord appears black.. But apparently it bleeds red. LOL

Nice one, Joe!

Thank you guys. Between the efforts of @moehawk and myself, we managed to get it shaped up fairly well.

Off for the mandatory doggo walk with a Canadian Stetson Premier.

I tried to look up this hat shop, but Ben created too much chaff.

Not sure of the age, but the sweat seems to indicate it was made in the last 2000 years or so.

Yeah, I'm a mouth-breather today, LOL.

Canadian Stetson Premier.

Nice one Jim!

I can find references back to 1929.

1940:

1945:

1952:

A major fire in the adjoining blocks in 1954 did some damage.

I'm finally back at it again after a short bout with some kind of flu or illness of some sort. I did a quick practice run on this 4X Stetson refurb. I don't know how I'd classify this one. I got the idea for this hat style from what I think was a Borsalino. It now sports a 6 inch open crown with a Center Dent and a 3 1/2 brim with a pencil curl. I did a thin ribbon with a Borsalino style bow work. I also gave the brim a slight swoop in the front.

Before:

After:

Reused the liner and sweat:

On the head:

Under different lighting:

Love the hat, Terry, but that brim curl makes me weak in the knees.

Canadian made Stetson's are nice.

Try John. Hard to get anything in front of a pay wall.

Thanks, guys.

I found that photo after I posted, but was stymied by the paywall and couldn't read the article.

Has anybody ever seen a Crean?
