ANOTHER gorgeous green!!!!!! You're knockin' 'em outta the park, Joe!!!

I'm loving that one Joe, great color!

Thanks, Mark.

It may be green, but still a lovely Willoughby in a nice heather felt.

Thanks guys!!! Can’t believe there is only two days left!

Open road style mid weight beaver in Whiskey.

And here is the new pup! 2 month old chocolate lab, and I had to give him a hat themed name.

So…say hi to Gus!

Welcome to the club Gus! Mr Bear says Howdy!

A bit foggy and gloomy again this morning. Thought Id brighten the day with one of my favorite RD Open Roads. Sure wish it had its original liner

In the spirit of the season I find myself dipping into the stingy well once again. Today is my Mallory, with a 2 inch overwelt brim and back bow.

Good to see you posting, Perry.

Thanks Jack. It's been a long, busy year. I am cutting way back on work to practically nothing in January. Will try to stay connected with all of you hat lovers!

Don’t guess there’s a thread dedicated to the Stetson “Campus” since I can’t seem to find another one ever posted here.
There’s a Stetson advertisement shared by Eric @Short Balding Guy in 2020 who also stated he hasn’t seen one posted.
So, finally, here’s a dark sage green mid 40s Campus in size 7 1/8, but it’s a bit bigger in reality.
Curiously, 2 5/8” brim on the sides and 2 7/16” in front. 1 1/2” hatband. 3/8” copper binding.
As found, I haven’t cleaned or shaped it.

Hi this is the first time I’ve worn a fedora in public. Yesterday I wore my new hat to church. It’s the Shirwell in dark charcoal grey from Gamble & G u n n. Instead of feeling self conscience, I felt really good. The customer service from Gamble & G u n n is superb. I was sent a brown hat by mistake but when I phoned them, the very nice lady sent the correct one along with a returns label even though I told her there was no hurry as it was for me and not someone’s Christmas present. I was stunned that she put such trust in me. I’ve wanted a fedora since decades ago but never had the courage to wear one.

Welcome to the lounge. Hopefully there'll be many more hats to some. This one is a great start.

A perfect day for a vintage Huckel.
View attachment 756458
The "Encroyable" Huckel - "Seal Velour" is completely unlined.
There are no other markings, no seller's mark, or anything else.
View attachment 756459
The paper label has been partially removed and what's left has been reglued.
The size is 6 1/2, or 60 centimeters in Europe and 7 1/2 in the US.
View attachment 756462
The felt is very light and malleable, making it a featherweight to carry on the head.
Based on its workmanship, it dates back to before World War II, but Steve @mayserwegener can tell you more.

Thank you for your interest and congratulations to all of you for the continuous flow of memorable hats.

You are just KILLIN' it, Daniele! Beauty after beauty after beauty!!!
