Randall, chin up, my good man! While the breathtaking picture likely was taken for PR purposes, it almost certainly depicts a highland Indian or Chola of Azuay or Cañar Province, weaving a Brisa-weave Cuenca 'en plein air'. Note the coarse paja.
The thousands of(mostly) women weavers of...
Mario: Love the complex pattern of your cap. Outstanding.
Eric: Congrats on your new hat! Looks great, and there are not many felt colors with the versatility of Granite.
Josh: Nice work on the conversion, and it is a real looker, too.
Manfred: Wonderful monochromatic ensemble...
Thanks, Randall. It is an incurable malady, but someone has to take care of them.
Much obliged. The felt/ribbon color combination is quite beautiful, indeed.
Thanks, Manfred. Sadly it is much too small for me, but I enjoy looking at the bold and unusual felt color and gorgeous ribbon.

Return Of The Pilgrim
Reviving this long-dormant thread to contribute some photos of my Pilgrim fedora, rescued from an antiques shop a few months ago for a pittance.
Felt is lightweight, resilient but not at all floppy. Light grey with a lilac undertone, complemented by a sensational...
Eric: Thanks, and I am really enjoying your beautiful photos of our gorgeous Minnesota Autumn. Great hats, too!
m0nk: Thanks for the nod. There is much to love about the much-maligned Whippet, especially the older ones. I hope the visit to your dentist was not too unpleasant, and, you did...

Hitting a few antiques shops in the early afternoon. The Bluegrass color has a definite bluish-grey cast under intense...
Autumn...And The Four Seasons
On a clear Autumn day, you can see forever. Or so it seemed this past weekend.
A chill in the morning air on the first day of Autumn. The sky was a brilliant azure and the dazzling sunlight made every shade of color indescribably vibrant. After Lydia and I...
My compliments to everyone for a fine weekend display of wonderful hats, as always! :yo:
David: Beautiful Whippet. We must be on a similar wavelength as I wore my Bluegrass Whippet yesterday!
Perry: Love that green Clarendon of yours!
This was my understanding as well, specifically the Esquire magazine reference. The 'Lord's Hat' is a description of a general 'style' of unbound, up-curled edge hat worn with front pinches that looked similar to a Homburg. We have no objective evidence that the hats referred to were of a...
Thanks, Jeff. The Nokabout is an easy hat to wear, and Autumn is just around the corner...tomorrow! Great hat yesterday. I really like your bespectacled look.
