For that field i’m thinkin you need a broad brimmed bamboo bustin Smokey.
Good Borsalino, great pic, looks like a lot of fine fly rod material in that grove.

Good morning. My dog soirée was undertaken wearing a 30's Brock fedora.
Cheers, Eric -
That Brock is a special find. Always enjoy seeing it.
Glad to see more and more black hats here; they deserve more love. Easy to love a lightweight thin felt Hückel though. Nice catch, Daniele.A new addition to the collection in the Western Veneto region.
It's well known that I have a penchant for black hats, and this one was a gamble that almost paid off.

Sold as a size 61 hat with no name, the manufacturer's name, Huckel, and the shape of the lettering on the lining reminded me of some of Steve's other hats (mayserwegener).

I liked it, and so I received a Huckel "Flexible" - "Skin" in a lightweight, foldable felt, which is gorgeous.

It's a size 58, and, as is often the case with Central European hats, I can wear it occasionally. This one fits my head well, even if it's a little tight.
It has a date stamped on the paper label: March 24, 1954. Everything else is on the lining.

More interesting black hats will arrive, as I hope from the photos
Great hats are appearing every day, thanks to your kindness. Thanks so much!
Very cool, Don. Wonderful brim treatment.
More good looking black hats. Beautiful, Joe.
Fantastic, Alan. Certainly deserved that gold medal!

I've got black hats for days. Probably one coming up tomorrow. Because of the religious connotation for me, I wear (and post) other colors more frequently in this thread, but perhaps I should expand my palette.
Great petting hat, Marcel. Nice!
Now matter how nice the others are, the Brock runs off with the prize, Eric. What a hat!Good morning. My dog soirée was undertaken wearing a 30's Brock fedora.
I wore the other Stetson guy's hat enjoying morning coffee.
I changed to an Adam fedora for a jaunt to the grocery store.
Cheers, Eric -
I'd say post away. I know the feeling though, having loads of black hats in the collection myself (but without the religious connotation) but find myself grabbing coloured ones more often.

This particular species comes out the ground as thick as your wrist or thicker, traditionally used in construction, so perhaps a bit heavy for fly rods.
As for the smoky; I’m put in mind of R. Lee Ermy. That might not go down so well here in Japan…

Sitting out front again this morning. This could get to be a habit.

A couple of years ago @Randall Renshaw posted about this Vimenet from Belgium. He graciously sold it to me last month and, per my last conversation with @steur, I'm going with a black one today. Fantasticly light, unlined felt from the 1930's.

I adore it when an older hat still has the price tag in it with the price and seller store name

It’s finally Friday, Fedora fiends and friends!! Perfect for the Stetson VitaFelt TAR.
After two months, now, I’m supposed to out of this torture device over the next two weeks. Finally!! I feel as though I’m going to have more Chins than the Hong Kong phone book!! Do they still have phone books?
Enjoy the weekend, world!

Looks good Charlie. Hope the neck is healing up well.
Great looking old Stetson, Mr. Charlie! Hope you get some relief from that contraption soon! Looks like your furry pal is keeping things under control whilst you're out and about.
