Two hats today. 50s Dobbs Westward Twenty with onion skin liner tip and sweatband backer.
And an early 60s RS done up a bit like Glenn Ford’s hat.

For some unknown reason or other I used to think that the colour black had a funereal image, but when Tina made a pair of period style trousers in black, the hand made black hat by The Susquehana Hat Company complimented my lady's work, perfectly. Black had more of an appeal than I had first thought.

John Perret at Fox Tailoring made the blazer and dear old friend, Colin Johnson, made the shoes. When it comes to made to measure my lady does spoil me, as the spearpoint collared shirt proves.

That's a great look! I particularly like the contrasting blacks and whites, right down to the shoes, with the blazer bringing in all the bold color and yet tying everything together.

Now to wear the hats rather than talk about them. Working my way through my wardrobe and decide why not wear country style for casual in respect of Dad where he been Country NSW farm boy rather rocked them.

An Akubra Down Under he brought me years back gets its day out.

Classic Aussie style more in the NSW mood.

I have acquired a few hats over the years that were from small , lesser known hat makers but the quality of materials and construction of the hat is every bit as good as a similar Stetson from back in the day. My latest addition is another example that makes me smile every time I wear it. The felt is soft and molds easily by hand without steam. I tried using the search function here and didn't get a hit. Appears to be Ken Mearne DeLuxe Quality (could also be Ken Hearne. No search results there either). You know how those marketing guys are...they stamped the sweatband Premier Quality. Lol.
Anyhoo... enough blabbering from me. Here's the hat ! For $50.00 I couldn't resist !!
