Here we are on a fairly serene afternoon in the valleys, but foggy south of Verona.

Fourth hat in black. This one also comes from France and brings with it very little information.

No trace of the lining, if it ever existed, there remains a tiny remnant of something that was attached to the inside. The sweatband has only one indication embossed with now faded gold trim "The Perfection" and nothing else.

The felt is a wool-fur mix and the shape is well-shaped like the hats in vogue between the first and second world wars. light and very malleable it is a pleasure to wear it

Fantastic, Daniele. Nice organic crease and that brim curl is superb.

Yesterday I was driving through two inches of snow, today it's over 50 degrees. Crazy weather! I have a day of clean work, just some bidding and calls so I get to wear a nice hat. Today I'm wearing my John Batterson felted edge, it isn't marked as a twenty but has an original $20 price tag.

My fourth contribution to Stingymas is the Knox Flying Cloud in a light grey with a slight green tinge to it. Probably from the ‘60s. 4.5cm brim with a custom edge.

Looks great with the jacket!

Thanks! This one really is practically perfect. I strongly suspect this hat was probably rarely, if ever, worn.

 

[Dlaniger]

Thanks Reggie. I agree that it is a great hat
I have a hat to show you. I was inspired by your evening attire.

Wow that is a unique looking hat, Daniele. It has stately aristocratic appearance. Would you call it a short brimmed Homburg? I am not too familiar with Parisian hat manufacturers.

Very nice and looks great on you.

Storm front getting ready to blow in her. Figured Id best get this posted before we lose power lol. Today we have a 1-1/4" brim Champ Featherweight. Cute little thing in really nice shape except for the previous owners name in big letters all over the liner. Oh well, I guess he was proud of it and didnt want anyone walking off with it!

Just a random thought......As one who has ended up with more than a few ebay hats that showed up with shorter brims than expected, ( poor photography making brims look bigger than they are) Im loving the stingy love here right now. I never really was enamored with small brims in the past, but when you have a really nice one and you find out that they CAN be worn.... they regain some value in my mind.

That Knox Flying cloud makes a really nice presentation, Gary. You have it shaped perfectly. Give an impression of a brim wider tHan it is.

Brim Up! Looks great Joe.

Rain is trying it's best to mess up picture taking activities this morning but I toughed it out for my contribution to Stingymas. Knox Hallmark Series with a
1 7/8 inch brim & custom edge gets the nod !

This one looks very much the same build as my Royal Coachman. And similar body to the four seasons. It seems HCA did a lot with these 1 7/8 Cavanagh edge bodies in this era. That branded wind trolley button caught my eye. Is it functional or is it just on and elastic loop like the Twenty’s had?
