I believe you never really know a bar till you shut it down.

Old hat. I finished rebuilding it yesterday. Was it a Stratoliner? I dunno, but it has those lines. I purchased this on eBay as a beater felt to play with - over a year ago. No sweatband, no markings, no interior paper tags - just a piece of old felt shaped like a hat. It sat, waiting for me to finally pick up a 7 1/4 52 block, which happened a few weeks ago. So I gave it a naphtha bath (many months ago), reblocked it (I think the body was a 7 1/8), re-flanged it, put in a sweatband generously supplied by Tim (CaneRodMaker, AlleyKat Hats) several months ago, and put on a new ribbon I acquired on eBay many months ago. I had been wanting to do this project for a long time. Despite the mothing on the brim, it's a fantastic piece of felt, and sat atop one of my hat boxes for several months with a beautiful dry bash I'd put into it (third pic). I haven't taken it out for a test drive yet, but I got the fit right and I like the color combo. The hat itself is a very, very dark blue/green, with a matching brim binding. The original ribbon also matched, but it fell apart when I took it off prior to cleaning. It currently remains unlined, and I think I'll keep it that way. It's very thin, lightweight, and as stated before, easy to crease and shape.

Very nice, Jim, and that ribbon really pops!

Mendel put this one up for sale here on the FL and after thinking about it for awhile I finally grabbed it up. It took a little while coming from The Netherlands but the wait was worth it. Now it's back home in Oregon, about 30 miles from where it was born in John's shop, in Hillsboro, Oregon.

We are hunkered down here at home, waiting out the snow and freezing rain so the pics with MrsFed's camera phone really don't pick up enough detail. The bow doesn't even show up in the pic of the left side of the hat.

It's a dark moss color, which I have been wanting since I saw one of Art's hats when we visited his shop in Medford. This one is called "The Penman" and comes with matching dark moss ribbon and bow and a luscious 6-point diamond crease. I can't say enough about how much I like this hat. Mendel said he only wore it a few times and I believe it. I can't see where it's ever been worn. It's in pristine shape, it is.

I think this first photo gives us some pretty good ideas about this hat; the highlights and shadows show the contours nicely. Great proportions!

Ok......something differant for me.....an Austrian Hunt hat. Beautiful brown heather felt!! Wider brim than usual too!! P&G Habig, of Vienna Austria. Made for Brooks Brothers of New York. Original price behind the sweat of $20. Awesome felt!! Pictures do not do it justice.....browns, reds, cool coloring! Almost makes me break out yodeling........we will see what happens when I wear it around awhile............

Ps: I also piced up a really minty post Stetson Mallory Ten medium grey homburg. Apear to be early 50's....sadly It does not fit me but it will hit the sale aisle soon!

Nice find! P. & C. Habig Wien was a great hat company. It's from the 1950s and a Trachten style. They also made the finest Stiff and Soft Felt Dress Hats and Silk Top Hats. If you get a chance please post the photos in the German and Austrian thread.

Congrats on the new hat! It looks great on you. This photo almost looks like an illustration. Has Matt been playing in Photoshop again?
