Got lost down a rabbit hole this morning hunting for the origins of this unusual mint color hat. I've had it for some time but don't wear it often. Apparently, University Club was a trademark of Murphy-Gorman Co. of Danbury, CT (home of Mallory, Lee and dozens more). Their more well-known trademark is for "The Celebrated Emerson Hat." They applied for this trademark in 1926 though from the union label, this hat dates after 1934. It has a handsome mid-ribbon panache and is, of course, in minty-fresh condition. ;^)

Wow!!!! What a stunner, Alan!

My newest acquisition: Stetson straw OR in cognac color.

Keeping with the winter theme mainly to avoid been frozen. Carbon grey Akubra Bogart. Rapidly becoming my favourite colour felt. But I can be fickle and may change my mind tomorrow.

Good morning. A dog soirre was sweaty effort under the morning humidity and heat. A Pedigree panama was my head gear for the efforts. The sweat and sweat liner is quality and was up to the task. A Genuine Panama Airliner! The brim of the hat drooped in the heat. It will need some steam and flanging.

Morning cold brew found me sport'n an Adam straw hat.

Cheers, Eric -

Blocked & dimensionally perfect. Michael makes a very fine hat!

Agreed Jack. When I put on a Gannon (in the style I have named Wanderer) it has just the right stuff. The Gannon hats always look right.


VoodooSan I look and am amazed at the variety, hues and quality of vintage hats I am fortunate to have at home. I think the *****le comes into my eye when I am making a selection of hat to wear. I have the good fortune to follow a whim. Whim's are frequent for me. The unasked question - how come you wear so many hats? I wear my hats in chores, efforts, and daily use. I would wear a hat out if I wore it for long periods. In order to more gently wear my hats I change them out frequently.

Amazing, as always. Be honest, Eric: do you ever just sit in your hat room (wing? building?), look around, and giggle delightedly to yourself? If you don't, you're made of sterner stuff than I am.

Just as a clone of a vintage hat that is no longer or rarely available should. Keep pushing up the Hat Quality Quotient!

Today by the Bay, I'm wearing my Dobbs Palomar, gray, made from Milan straw. It has a 2 3/8" brim and crown vents. Perfect fedora as we move from spring to summer here in Florida (just kidding! It's all summer here).

Looking good, Cuz. Digging all the Native hardware. The BB makes me jealous.

It must have been kept in storage or in a museum because I dont believe it's ever been worn!
