Crush-weight - as in "packable"? I do like the stitching on the brim. Presumably to help it hold its shape, but it provides a nice look too.

Nice. Works surprisingly well with the leather too.

You have arrived, Jeff! That hat is absolutely perfect for you, IMHO!
Mazel, man.

Looks like Zayde 's has a nice wine selection there, as well as a fine selection of hats, though I see, not a black one among them.

Funny you should mention the lack of black, @jeffgarf. Just to the right behind Elisha’s hat you can see (but not really make out) a black pork pie. As far as heads go, these guys have them covered!

Sunday afternoon, on the Chap Grand Winter Flaneur walk. I believe this was taken while headed North along Charing Cross Road. I've posted about this hat before on the "what hat are you wearing today" thread. It's one of these: https://www.hatcentre.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=153&product_id=144 I've had this one for about eighteen months now, I think; first bought the navy version in 2023. A real find for a new production hat. Thick and luxurious-feeling rabbit. The navy one bashed perfectly dray, while this one required a little steam. Somewhere I put up a post on these (in the new hats thread again, I think) showing this model right beside an Akubra Federation. This model is just a fraction more sloped than the Akubra as the crown reaches the top, but very little in it. The brim is an even 75mm / 3" all round. The ribbon I do find more pleasing than the Akubra's; it's taller, with the bow being just a little more dramatic. There's also a wind trolley, which is not something I'd plan to use (if it's blowy, I tend to reach for a cap), but it's nice to have it as an 'in case', and I like it as a point ofc visual interest on the hat. The crown height is great; I gather the model was designed to be worn over a Yarmulke, so it really favours that 30s/40s crown shape. Well worth looking into, especially if you're in the UK.

Terrific hat, phenomenal ensemble!

Thank you.

Thank-you, Sir! I'm especially chuffed with the sweater vest - a relative cheap piece I just chanced across on Amazon. I'm sure it would have been very pricey had it been marketed as '30s repop or similar!

Cheers on the hat and glorious shirt combo. Curious minds wish to know what boots are paired with the sharp duds?


Thanks for sharing your special hats.
