Another one of yesterday's haul. Mossant chapeau melon in a size 60. Brim at 5cm and crown 13,5cm. No liner and the brim binding is toast (obviously). Still interesting enough to bring it along. The brim binding can be replaced and a liner can be added. Very nice hand to the felt. The shell is still a wee bit lumpy from dents it suffered in the past, but it has good bones as it were.
Nice trade, Stefan. Looks fantastic. I'm envious.This was the collect end of another hat-exchange. This one with Gary (@Dotneck ) who couldn't get this one to fit him. He was kind enough to trade it with me. So my thanks go out to him.
Wormser Royal Luxury in let's say "chalk". Size 7 with the bound brim at 6,5cm and the crown 10,5cm at the center dent. I wasn't all that impressed with my first Wormser, but this one makes more than up for it. Gills too! I picture this hat would be the result if my Caxton and Dobbs Hanover Square had a love baby. It's a glorious hat!

Thanks, Steve. Not always an opportunity to wear these light coloured hats, but they're just so cool looking.
Change of colour.
P&C Habig in grey. This one was missing its ribbon, but looked interesting enough to bring along. Size 57 (but I think it's closer to a size 58 - measuring 20,1 x 16,7cm). Brim at 6cm and crown 10,5cm at the center dent.
One of those in between hats. Not exactly a homburg, but very close. Sometimes called "camber". I put on the burgundy ribbon (quite pleased with how that turned out) after I took the pics. Habig hats are dated: 1952.

One more then.
Wegener in dark blue. Size 60 with the brim at 6,5cm and the crown 11,5cm at the center dent. Quite the hat. Lovely hand to the felt and shapes nicely. No label inside the hat (aside from a very small size tag), but Alfred Bender from Frankfurt am Main apparently was founded in 1880, so that would place this hat in 1955. Sounds about right to me.

All very nice hats, Stefan. Good day at the office.
Thanks, Jim. Funny you should say that: it almost felt like work brushing the dust off all these hats!

Very nice! I like them all, but the blue homburg really makes me smile. Oh how I wish it was one size larger.
Ive never seen so many great vintage hats for sale. I can go a year and not see that many accumulatively.

You know I really thought I had found it there for a while, Brent. That thing is massive (to me anyway). Had to look quite a bit to find that tiny size tag saying 60. And the size does match up (you can be sure I measured - Wegener can sometimes run large). Doh!

That one does look fantastic and the gills really set it off!
This was the collect end of another hat-exchange. This one with Gary (@Dotneck ) who couldn't get this one to fit him. He was kind enough to trade it with me. So my thanks go out to him.
Wormser Royal Luxury in let's say "chalk". Size 7 with the bound brim at 6,5cm and the crown 10,5cm at the center dent. I wasn't all that impressed with my first Wormser, but this one makes more than up for it. Gills too! I picture this hat would be the result if my Caxton and Dobbs Hanover Square had a love baby. It's a glorious hat!

I'm in the homburg market! Or is this one purely for the collection?

It was with some trepidation that I ordered an orange fedora, but the price was right and it was the last one. It arrived today, and not only does it fit perfectly, the color is also spot on! It's a Pantropic Skylar LiteFelt in burnt orange. I'm gonna keep it (and it will probably see a lot of outdoor use)!
My sense of hats is that they are "beaters," mostly to be worn (you should see my marathon running hats!). I don't have the room or resources to buy expensive headgear that will spend most of its life inside a box. This is a "wearer." It's got a chinstrap for windy weather (or for me, for driving with my windows slightly open).
And it arrived on a day when I was wearing an orange shirt!
