Post New Hats Here!

[deadlyhandsome]

My Churchill Beaver "50" Open Road style hat arrived today. What a great hat. I'm not sure that I own its equal. Such a great hat with incredible dense felt.

But then it went all pear shaped:

Oh well. Someone will get a great hat.

Not exactly a new hat because I've had this one for quite a while. This one sits in the Azkaban section of my collection though, where the hats go I leave to the dementors. Stevenson in grey blue, size 56. Bound brim at 5cm and crown 9,5cm at the pinch. The felt is nice enough and so is the colour. But I can't get this hat to work for me no matter how I crease it: the brim is just too short and the crown has too much taper. It is branded Stevenson, London, but it's actually made in Portugal.

The bound brim gives it a very nice look.

Went out on a limb and picked up a Champ fedora off the bay. The hat looks as though it had hardly been worn and the felt is soft and supple. The only problem is it does not look so good on me. I have always worn western style hats so I will se if it grows on me.
Cheers,
Rick

Thank you. It does have redeeming qualities. It'll stay in Azkaban though

Brim down does look better. These stingy brim hats do take getting used to!

Thanks. It looks better on me with brim down so I think it is a keeper. Definitly out of my comfort zone with small brim hats.

I like it a lot! The brim, the color, and the ribbon color is a knockout. The crease is spot on, and the hat looks great among the drums.

Doesn't look bad at all. It's a matter of getting used to it.

I found this one a few days ago and it is on its way. Very happy. I needed a green hat, like Moe
