Post New Hats Here!

[CRH]

Open Road from craigslist for $10 turned out to be too small for me so my wife ended up with my prize. I'm jealous.

Which is why all hat collectors need a correct block in their correct size. I've been on a quest for a no. 52 in 7/14 for forever but they are illusive. I got my needle and thread ready to go should the grail see fit to show itself to me.

Great hat! Lundstrom was a SF store for many years, with several locations.

Thanks, my wife got a great hat now for me. I want a thin ribbon Stetson, but maybe in gray so we don't match. I'm from San Francisco, but don't remember Lundstrom. Must have been on Market St

New Knox - possibly a 'Forward Look' although that might not be the model...



More pictures in the scholl of hard Knox thread.

Well the hat that was listed as a derby that I have been so well enlightened to by my good fellow loungers that is in fact a "short brimmed " Homburg arrived today .

I have left the crown still pushed out and kind of like it that way . I already have a brown burg with the same sized brim as compared to my other burgs with bigger brims.









The brown one I mentioned.



The bigger brimmed black one .


Quite a difference all the way around .

Well I guess I got a $30.00 education on what is and is not a derby, I still like the hat anyway because "I never met a hat I didn't like"

The Penman Raiders has arrived...Oh My. Immaculate condition, buttery soft felt. I really am in love.. Photos to follow after my afternoons meetings. But oh my goodness - it is spectacular. I really am a little shaken. (not stirred). Its like the Rolls Royce has just pulled up in the drive way and I have the keys. John - you are an artist.

Looks good Frank. Wear it open- crowned proudly

Nigel - looking forward to pictures

Wear it, like you like it. At least it won't flatten your hairdo

Latoso : A beautiful melusine! I sure would love to feel that felt. Congratulations!

This is my new melusine porkpie from Optimo.

Cool choices. I have the same hat - a little older, with taller crown and wider brim.

 

[bowlerman]

nice! lol

That porkpie is one of the best I've seen. I like it when they have a little more brim. How wide is the brim?

 

[alanfgag]

Hi Jeff,

I'm guessing 2 1/4" for Latoso... mine is 5" wide and 7" tall.

 

[Latoso]

You're right on the money alanfgag, it's 2 1/4" with a 4" crown. I'm loving yours though. Now I know I was right in picking that combo. Lol

Thanks bowlerman and TheDane. I think I spend as much time petting it as I do wearing it.

I think Latoso's porkpie would get lost inside Alan's hat crown.

Finally got a Resistol Stagecoach. Not exactly what I wanted but at least it have a 4" brim. Love the tall crown and the felt feels nice, needs brushing to get rid of some dust.
Because the sun was almost down when I took those pictures, the color is not right. It is gray/silver, not tan.
As my sister wants to take pictures of me wearing a cowboy hat like J.R. Ewing this will look really nice.

Las Vegas, Nevada!

New Borsalino from the 50s Similar to another hat I own but I love anyways.

 

[ManofKent]

Joao - glad you found one in your size.

HB3 - nice find

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Joao - glad you found one in your size.

Yes but no +4" brim. :/
