Post New Hats Here!

[Joao Encarnado]

Well I was waiting for a black stagecoach but ended with this (next time read everything 3 times):

Well... can't complain, dimensions are the same as a Stagecoach, brim is 4,25 inches (4 1/4"), big crown, fits nicely and only costed $30 (shipping not included).
Never had a inspected hat.

It came in a Stagecoach box (it's a bit messed but I was wanting one and I'm surprised it arrived in this shape)

With it also came this feather hatband that I don't like (I can trade it for another hat).

In the noggin

Looks good Joao - how does it compare to Stagecoaches?

First time posting, long time visitor. I had both these hats for a couple of mouths but didn't think to post them until now.

My brother and I (left) shoveling snow in Alabama, of all ****** places. This is a hat from Beaver Hat Co. I bought off ESTY. It's make I am unsure. I believe my brother's hat is a Country Gentleman hat.

It's only similar on dimensions. By the touch it's a beaver bled felt. You can feel the diference.

Great hats Sean. Welcome to the fun.
Would that have been the
great blizzard of 2013 we had a few months ago?

Sean - Welcome to the madhouse. Nice first post.

Picked this up on eBay. '60s Dobbs, I believe. Unfortunately the brim is a lot bigger than it looked like in the auction photos (which made it look like a more subdued homburg curl). Not sure if I should return it or keep it, unless someone here is interested. I contacted a hatter who said the brim would be to difficult to press and trim. Thoughts?

Welcome Sean and WOW-za on your first post! Thanks for posting!!

NickD, IMHO that is one amazing hat as is. Sure, you may be the only guy in the U.P. with a brim like that, but it's a beauty!!

 

[Brad Bowers]

Looks like a Dobbs Americana, which places it 1970-72. I would think it could be flanged flat enough to trim the brim down and re-curl.

That is sooooome curl. It all depends on how much brim you want to keep. I would say keep it like it is but it's your call.

Many new hats since my last visit here, wonderful new ones, congrats to all of you!

Good to see you, Manfred! I like your updated avatar.

Nice hat Nick! Reminds me of this old 1920s ad:

 

[Nick D]

Does indeed! I guess my hangup is I'm not sure that it suits me. I haven't tried it with a suit yet, maybe it'll look better over a tie.

Thanks Charlie, good to see you to!
It's my favorite Rockel Melone, I love it!

+1. This is an unusual look which looks good on you. I might remove the feathers.

 

[RJR]

I like it as well.

 

[DesertDan]

I agree, It looks good on you Nick. Give it some time, you just might grow to love it.

 

[bowlerman]

I like it, Nick d! Agree with brad, too. I have one almost identical, a Dobbs americana. Looks great!
