Stefan, Thanks! Fantastic series of hats from you this past weekend! Looking for this weekend's series!
Thank you, Steve.
Steve, all I can see of today's pics is the pocket mirror.Hückel Weilheim "Chevreau", mid 1950s. The light green Felt has a very fine "Chevreau" finish. I really like this Soft Felt but I haven't worn it in a couple years I found this Soft Felt back in 2011.
Hückel Weilheim Advertising Pocket Mirror Match Holder. Possibly from the 1960s. The match heads had to be removed for shipping. I found this Pocket Mirror Match Holder back in 2014.

I have the same in a sort of loden type grey/brown. It’s the softest hat I own. Too soft for daily wear I think but great for formal wear days.

Trip up to Nasu Animal Kingdom on the Nasu Plateau (a well kept secret that feels a lot like being back in the uplands of Mid Wales) with the family. Ideal spring weather to give the Campdraft its first outing.
The brim is starting to soften up and take a better shape, I can see this hat being really easy to wear despite its size.
My only complaint was that the button on the wind chord fell apart as I was putting it back in place. I’ll have to mend that with a bit of superglue.

Head out to coffee under one of the Banjo Patersons today
Oh, wow!!! That is a GORGEOUS hat, Steve!! I have a Portis that's a similar shade, and it's probably my favorite fedora. That is, for me, an astonishingly attractive hat!

Same here. When I have time to come on here, it works less than half the time.
I did get a chance to wear the JBS 3XME today. Flatbedding is such dirty work that I usually only wear the Northwest Hats.
This next week I'll stop home and pick up an Akubra (oh yeah, also a bunch of tools and gear and other non-essentials.
).Happy weekend friends.

The Borsalino is a dream, but I have to admit to being equally impressed with a straw bowler, something I have never seen before.
Thank you so much, Joe.

Oddly enough I decided to shave this morning for the first time this year, my annual ‘spring shearing’ you might say.
That’s one hell of a brim though, would be ideal once the sun really starts to beat down in a month or so. But I think the campdraft will do the job just as well.
My morning dog walk was undertaken while wearing my mid-to-late-50s Portis SuperLux with “Swan’s Down Finish”, and "Swansback Water Repellant ‘Cushion Band’ ". This may be my favorite fedora; everything about it just feels “right” to me. Sadly, it’s almost impossible to capture the faint green tinge present in its mostly-brown hue. But I know it’s there, and that’s enough for me.
