Stunning, Don!!!

That hat looks great on you!

I always admire the beautiful St. Regis hats I see on this thread, and yours is up there with the best.

Thanks gentlemen. It is much appreciated.

I don't buy as many fedoras as westerns, but I do hunt daily for those from Portis. When this Lite-Wate appeared, with a ridiculously low BIN price, I immediately snatched it up.

It has their “sporty lining”, and the sweat is alternately marked “Tissue Lite.” It’s light grey, with a beautiful dark navy band, complete with wind trolley. The bound-edge brim is 2.5”, and the center-dent, front pinch, crown measures 5” all around. I can find no info at all on the original retailer (Huddik’s, Pontiac, MI), but the sporty liners are generally held to be from the late 50s to early 60s. And neither of the “Lite” appellations are misnomers: this baby weighs in at a marvelously airy 2.6 ounces!

Oooooh. That is a very nice Portis Lite Wate I have on as well… mine has a fabric sweat. Love these liners. Very fun!

Knox 15. This is a hat I’ve always liked but never worn much—I recreased it yesterday and am much happier with it now. Love when that happens.

R. & M. Wegener "Start" possibly late 1920s early 1930s. The Felt is a fantastic mélange with a fine Rauh finish + soft hand. It has a hidden stitched over welt curled Brim with Back Bow. Old R. & M. Wenger hats are difficult to find, especially Soft Felts. I really like this one.

Wegener Postcards possibly mid to later 1930s.

That is one of my favorites, Steve: FANTASTIC!

Leave the fedoras home, David!
Wowza on the Whippet Don’t know what part of VT you’re headed to, but here’s a peek out the window at my place in the “Northeast Kingdom” this morning, where the neighbors are reporting about 4’ on the ground, and drifts much higher. Then, there’s the cold and wind today…


Me? Stetsonian today.
