Apologies for being boring but it's D'Aquino again for me -- paired with a lovely vintage half-Norfolk (German tweed by Marsden, tailored in the UK):

Brüder Böhm, made for the French market, post WWI pre WWII. It's rare to come across old Brüder Böhm Soft Felts.

I am continually in awe of these hats. You are a walking museum Mayserwegener!

This morning with my wool fabric foldable hat (folds flat and can be rolled). I wear it very often, it's warm, comfy and easy to stow away.

damn do I love this hat .... looks killer with the black shirt .... so dope !!
makes me want that color

...and the crease !!!!.... (kisses fingers like an Italian chef)

Don't be afraid of the dark. I love this color.

Hat -- amazing!
Boots -- killer!
Christmas Pig -- want!

Thanks, Bob. The kid loves the pig. And the one by the door as well.

I'm thinking charcoal felt with a muted silver ribbon.

Then I can have a Raiders hat.

Just bash, baby!


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

An idea for my next one. Dammit, Fruno.

You ever had smoked featherbones as an appetizer?

No, but I'm getting hungry. I do like marrow bones.

Nice detail, wish I wasn't too fat to wear this style. You rock it!!

Thanks! I'm sure you'd look just fine in a Norfolk. These jackets were worn by many a plump Brit, for sure! And they are meant to be very comfortable -- the shoulder pleats allow for a more flexible reach (so as to hold a ***** or *******). If you're worried about girth, you could try a full Norfolk if you can find one (mine is only half). Full Norfolk jackets have a floating and adjustable belt but they're rare and expensive unless you spot one on ebay. Oliver Brown's is listed at around 700 USD: https://www.oliverbrown.org.uk/gent...shooting-collection/mens-tweed-norfolk-jacket
