What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

It is a Schoble, it is certainly noble and I was fortunate enough to buy it from Mr. @BobHufford. It's a Beaver Fifteen with some mileage on it, but that is certainly part of its appeal to me. Thanks, Bob, for selling it.

Good morning folks.

For evening shennigans I wore an Akubra Campdraft. This the TFL version with a 2.5" brim.

After relocating snow this morning (in a cap) I switched to a Knox Vagabond King. It has glorious felt and clean features. A real pleasure to wear.

Cheers, Eric -

Yowza!!!! A pair of beauties there, Eric!

Huckel Eta "Seal Velour" made in Czechoslovakia and sold in Le Havre, France. Size 6 or 59 cm. or 7 3/8 in US
Like most Huckels made before the war and immediately afterward, and for a good while afterward, the quality is exquisite.

Every now and then, I'd like to discover a deposit of velour felts and be able to touch them simultaneously to get the feeling. It would be great!

I dusted off the velour, the pile, and anything else I've worked with felt with a fur.
Thank you for all your compliments, which are mutual, and have a good day to all of you fellow hat-lovers.

You’d need a cigarette afterwards, Daniele. The velour jewel you’re wearing today is beyond exquisite!

Wow, Mark—that’s a stunner!

Anybody have any idea what happened to David? This appears to be his last post and after that, nothing. He is missed.

He sold a couple hats on the bay recently, like within the last couple of weeks. He's probably just taking a break. I'd look for him to be back at some point.

Great to hear. I was worried something untoward had happened to him. Thanks for the update.

He had two really nice ones for sale at very decent prices. I would've snagged one but I'm not into WAR's at the moment. I'll regret it later. David has nice hats in 1/8.

Can you tell me his eBay handle? I'm not looking to buy but I might drop him a message.

Happy Thanksgiving morning to all! Moving from the bigger Akubras into the more modest "town" or "dress" hats, the problem was choosing what to wear.... So I laid out a Campdraft, A Bogart, and a Stylemaster in the yard and put Mr Bear to work picking for me. He went straight to it, so the Stylemaster it is! ( Perhaps I had put a bit more sweat and scent in this one lol)

On a further happy note, I found out yesterday from my friends at the antique shop that during last saturdays "Christmas in Crockett" shopping event, Six of my hats sold! Great way to clear out some ill fitting or lesser hats from not so spectacular ebay buys. After their comission cut, I have almost $400 coming! Extra Christmas money in the pocket never hurts

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Taking in the cool morning under a Portis Royalist.

Happy Thanksgiving! No choice for today’s hat really. Royal Stetson DeLuxe “Supper Club”.

Super bright sun and the puppy is demanding attention out in the yard.... so out comes a 5x Stetson big boy for some shade. This ones still " as it got here" so I havent decided exactly hat to do with it ( except sticking it up top and wearing it) lol

Thank you Phil! I appreciate that very much. This one was in mint condition & came with the case. I only have about 3-4 eras, styles, creases, of hats that I care much about & this is one of them. I’ve studied blocking of each & know what I like & why. It doesn’t have to be a one-hundred to be in the style I like. Judging by your hats & pics I think you get it too. As far as pricing, it’s only going to go up for good original mint condition One-hundreds & other premium vintage grades of hats. Classic lines will always be classic & should stay that way.

Happy Thanksgiving.
