It’s a Stetson Florentine Milan (edited because I said Dobbs first— oops!) for this gorgeous springy day.

I like what you did with the brim. Is that slight dip in the middle intentional or the result of natural wear?

A bit of both to be honest. It started with pulling the front of the brim down a little when adjusting the hat on my head but then I’ve gone and deliberately accentuated it a bit based off of the way a lot of the open road/stratoliner/comparable hats look in vintage photographs
It’s how I bring a bit of my midwestern farmer heritage to the uk without wearing a full on cowboy hat

Just exquisite Mark, an air of effortless sophistication, the brim, subtly snapped to perfection, casting a soft shadow. You have nailed it, and I just love that shirt. I think that I might have just found Tina's next project!

The vest, shirt and trousers are a previous Tina project, made to compliment the hat. She is a talented lady.

Pulled on an old, well traveled Stetson Moose River today. I did a ribbon brim binding a while back and that fixed a wobbly brim problem. ( brim stays straight with a little extra structure) I had made up a 1/2" ribbon fr it, but Ive been thinking of doing a slightly smaller 3/8" ribbon with a campaign bow. One of my longtime favorite "lesser" hats. Havent worn it much this year so its probably due for a little blocking and maintenance to sharpen it up a bit.

Borsalino, this is a Stetson Open Road look-a-like. Picked this one up about a year ago, Thanks to @BobHufford

P. & C. Habig Wien "Special Zefir", possibly mid 1950s. Specially made for Carl Kellner, Hamburg, Germany. I really like the Tracht influenced Form plus Bow design and the contrasting brim binding. Also fantastic pliable light weight - light gray felt. I found this Soft Felt in 2013.

"Chapeaux - Habig" French Market advertisement stand for P. & C. Habig Wien, possibly later 1920s. It's missing the rear fold out stand. Great portrait! I found this advertisement stand back in 2016.

Taking advantage of the last day fit for straw for about another week and a half, with my Texas Hatters Cuenca bowler.

That hat is a thing of pure beauty, Steve. Wonderful color, exquisite lines, terrific binding, STUNNING interior. ::chef's kiss::

Thank you, Robert! I greatly appreciate your kind words, and I hope Tina produces something wonderful for you. (Honestly, I doubt she has EVER failed to do so!)

Spent the weekend outside grilling in the beautiful weather wearing a Resistol Ft Worth 3x Beaver. I'm not good with Resistol dating, but believe this is from the mid 60's to early 70's.

This is my new (made for me) Fedora, fur felt, made by Keel-Stocker a very small producer here in the UK, Crown is 5 1/2 inches in front, 6 at sides, brim is just over 2 1/2 inches. Hatband is 2 1/2 inches. Rabbit felt feels soft and malleable.

Very interesting sweatband!

 

[bmw1976]

Today I wore a Resistol (Byer-Rolnick) 7x Beaver that I also believe is from the 60's in San Antonio style.
