David !
I got this recently from (MIA) Aureliano too !
Panizza & he put a leather sweat in for me too !
Im not into new stuff but this is exceptional felt & very lite !
Ale bought it himself in Italy

brim 2 1/4'', crown front 4'' side4 3/4'' back 3 3/4'',ribbon 1 1/2''
not the dimensions i would normaly go for but it did look great when i tried it on..a short while back
He said its beaver it feels soft & fuzzy & still makes that sound when you rub/drag fingers tightly around brim...like a vintage hat does.
I dont want to get Taco Sauce on this one.....

For some reason, I am now really thinking that a lighter colored hat might work. Dont know that it would go with suits all that much, but tooling around Memphis in April and May, 60's to mid 70's, would be cool.

A. Peschel Dinkelsbühl Velour Rex, probably late 1950s. This one has a giant 3 inch brim. Very thick but pliable (open crown) brown Velour finish.

 

[Chepstow]

Steve, you can not see it but I was for a few seconds speechless!
Never seen so a stunning Peschel. I remind me, that I have seen it on Ebay. Round about wonderful shape.

Nice Longley B, ditto the Panizza Che, have fun with the new tool too. Looks like the top needs to be chopped and some lacquer applied

It's never too early for a nice Monte David.

Congrats on your first Bowler Mike, I'm not there yet so respect the bravery.

Steve, the Peschel looks like a fine fur coat, magnificent!

Here's a new-to-me Straoliner in a light gray. 5-1/2" crown and 2-1/2" brim. No mothing or stains and appears to have been worn very little. I'm mulling over what bash to use.

What's the brim on the snowy river?

 

[nice hat dude!]

What's the brim on the snowy river?

Didn't know they had different sized brims for them but I went and measured it's 31/8

 

[Historyteach24]

I love the look of those akubras. WHile that band is not my cup o tea I think they make fantastic hats

All the Snowys I've seen around these parts seem to come with the braided rawhide bands,the hat makes up for
it in my opinion,guess if we had crocodiles in Canada I could get some teeth.(just kidding)

Beaver Brand OR-style

I picked this up from ebay a few weeks ago. I already posted a pic from the original listing, but here are some more shots before I send it off for some modifications. It's a 7 1/4, but it clearly fits like a 7 3/8, if not larger. Waaaaaay to big for me, even with padding. The next set of pics will be posted in the "Conversion Corral" thread, probably after Christmas. I'm going to size it down (including the brim), add a wider binding, wider ribbon, and re-block it with a taller crown. While I'm at it, I will probably get a new leather sweatband. Faux leather cheapies make my head sweat!
