Very sharp…. And what a crown!

Staalmeester Rembrandt
5 inch crown as shaped
1 7/8 brim with overwelt
1 3/4 charcoal grosgrain ribbon

I decided to dig into Stefan @steur magical mystery care package from a few weeks back to join @BobHufford in his StingyPendance celebration. This Staalmeester is a real beauty with a nice tall crown sitting at 5 inches as shaped with a nice deep center dent. It is a nice medium grey felt with a charcoal grey ribbon. It got a nice fresh steam today to smooth out some wrinkles in the pinch and to tweak the brim a bit.

It's Whippet Wednesday down here at Rock Bottom. Something about these old hats that draws me in like a moth to a flame. View attachment 714728 View attachment 714729 View attachment 714730 View attachment 714731

Definitely a winner, Timmy!!

I've been getting some wear out of the JBS 7XCP (clear polyester).

I did remove the polyester liner so it's a pretty cool summer beater now.

Still has a polyesters ribbon and stitching... but the felt itself is actually nice and soft (probably rabbit? Dunno...)

I like this hat.

Well, I don't have a straw that will work for the @BobHufford StingyPendance celebration, but I did just take possession of a new stingy felt, which I happened to wear for the first time today. Hopefully that will suffice.

Stephen L Stetson, back-bow, The Continental. It sports a 4" crown, and 1 & 7/8" brim with a 2 & 1/2" ribbon.

 

[BobHufford]

Hopefully that will suffice.

That’ll do! Thanks for playing.

Going with a Capas homburg in the sunny middle east, courtesy of Sherlock Hats in downtown Jerusalem. There are a lot of hat stores in this city, but Sherlock is the only one that caters to the general public, religious and non-religious alike. Everyone can buy at any other store. As long as you like black felt, they'll have you covered. Sherlock's got everyone else.

For the third day of Stingypendence Week I’m wearing a 1960s Churchill Italian Milan from Neiman Marcus. You all CAN play along at home you know — I can’t be the only one with stingy summer hats.

Thanks Joe! Great hat to celebrate with.

Thanks Bob. StingyPendance makes a nice half way to StingyMas celebration…. Even if it is somehow more than half way…. Hard to believe.

A modest request to snap a few pics and let us know what their product looks like.

You could post them here.

Good morning hat folks.

I would like to share a couple hats from yesterday. Home from some travels I strolled about in a Newt panama. Gorgeous panama.

The ribbon treatment is excellent. Neat, quality and tidy.

I started carrying fallen branches to the brush pile and changed to a Stetson "Genuine Panama."

A warm and humid Thursday found a Stetson ******* Airlite with a snowflake vent to be the perfect hat for a dog soirée.

Home and enjoying some cold brew coffee under the brim of a PHD fedora. Gorgeous woven straw. While the ribbon is not a fav, I am giving this hat plenty of head time.

Bird feeders and a couple of nags of mulch later I really appreciated my other PHD straw fedora. Airy enough, light and easy to wear. I am not a fan of the glued ribbon, but my wife likes both of the PHD straw fedoras. I am good to go.

Cheers, Eric -

Jack; Thanks. I am traveling for a few days. When I get back home I will do a side by side of the Gannon and Stetson Combers.

Jack; Below are some comparison pics. I needed to visit as I forgot the specs that I provided to Mr.Gannon when I commissioned the Gannon Beachcomer. The crowns are a tad over 6" and the brims are 2.5". The commissioned hat differs a in the brim treatment. I wanted a thin felt (ala the Stetson Beachcomer) and the 3 stitched edge provides some firmness (IMO).

With a generous 8.5cm (3.3 inches) brim this recently arrived Hornskov Panama is definitely not a StingyPendence hat.

Sorry Bob @BobHufford , I'll try and do better tomorrow
