What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Got this in the mail today. A White Label Lee. The felt is similar to an early Stetson 20, but much softer to the touch and very malleable. A 2-3/4" Cavanagh type edged brim and 5-1/2" crown.

Gorgeous hat, Don. Quite the find.
I got a package today from Mr. Randall, he did a wonderful job cleaning up and doing a little resto on my No. 1 Quality Stetson. I'm super happy with how it turned out!

On a drizzly day, wearing a Geo. W Alexander "Circle A" hat that I don't think I've worn before and don't care if it gets a little rain.

Heinrich Balke Bremen "Prima Weser Hut" possibly 1920s. This Stiff Felt is made of wool and has a great form and a tight brim curl. I found this wool Stiff Felt back in 2016.

This Wool Stiff Felt actually has a mirror inset into the liner logo! This could be a one of a kind. I need to do another search for the mark.
