Hazy and 79F in the west foothills of the Cascade Range so this is a two-black-hat day. Started with the Hufvud Bogart 50x Beaver for morning errands and switched to the Campdraft for afternoon fun.
This black Hufvud Bogart makes life tough for my cheaper android phone camera. So here are a few different lightings to give you some idea what the hat looks like.
Welcome to the Lounge!
I had many of the same questions, some years back. A casual stroll around this site will show you folks of all ages, genders and fashion styles looking positively stunning in their various hats. In my opinion, whether a person looks "good" in their hat or not is largely...
It has been blissfully cool 'round these parts but yesterday was warm and today is supposed to get warmer. The Hufvud Bogart in emerald gray was perfect for my late morning jaunt, before the heat sets in.
Hufvud Leifur, rabbit/hare in Brown Rust for today's grocery run. These shots in different light don't communicate the true richness of the brown. But you know what I mean.
Thanks for the compliment on the black Bogart I obtained from Mikael! My gray 50x beaver Bogart allowed me to deepen the side dents without moisture, but my whiskey rabbit/hare Cagney required a light spritz of distilled water to do the same thing.
I actually got this Hufvud Cagney (whiskey, is the color) last December, but I never got around to posting it. And the hat still feels new to me, so here goes. I like the red brim-binding on this one, and the subtle extra flair it gives the hat.
I've had this new black Bogart from Hufvud for a week, but the rainy weather put this post on hold. This is my 4th Hufvud, and I really like Mikael's new liner. Terrific addition to my small collection.
I'll be sure to post some pics, Joe. I've fallen hard for Mikael's hats. Beyond the vintage look, the comfort took me off-guard. Now some of my other hats feel like I'm wearing a shoe-box on my head.
This one is due to arrive mid-week. Black 50x Beaver with Steel ribbon. 5-inch crown, 2.5-inch brim. This will be my 4th Hufvud (3 off the Marketplace, 1 custom), and these are Mikael's pictures.
I spent 5 nights in a perfect house on the Oregon Coast with my mother and sister, who live several states away and I see far too infrequently.
The sand CD was my hat of choice for the trip because, well... it is replaceable. It is WINDY on the Oregon Coast. (The CD made it home.)
My new Hufvud arrived yesterday evening. This is my first true custom, and my first experience with felt that contains a notable amount of beaver. Mikael's work is astounding. The felt is light, soft and flexible, but holds its shape like nobody's business.
I love the blue tones in the...
