Post New Hats Here!

[Woodtroll]

I just received a new hat from Rick Walker at Phoenix Custom Hats. This is my second order from Rick, and I have been extremely pleased with both hats! This one is a natural beaver felt with navy ribbon. I think it will be a great casual hat to wear with a jean jacket or blue jeans and button-up shirt.







I'll post more over on the Phoenix thread for those who are interested. Y'all have a great weekend!

Lovely hat and great colour combination. Nice!

Sometimes the French tendency to keep things to themselves pays off. This one flew under the radar because the seller had it listed to ship inside France only. He was very forthcoming however when I asked him if he would ship it to Les Pays Bas.
We had a deal in no time at all. What can I say? The stars aligned for this one.
Guiseppe Borsalino was an apprentice at Berteil and apparently Berteil didn't forget their pupil when they stopped making hats themselves. Borsalino made this for his old teacher (well, sort of).
Borsalino Nutria in Rodio colour. Felted edge at 5,5cm and crown 10cm at the pinch. Ribbon in the colour Asfalto. The bow is attached further inward to leave the bow ends loose. Liner is not Borsalino, but Berteil. Very lightweight hat at 85 grams and the felt is not as "springy" as other nutria hats, but shapes with no effort at all. I get the feeling this was a top of the line hat.
Biggest surprise: it's not all that old actually: 1980!

I have posted this one a few times in the WHAYWT thread, but not yet a full pictorial of the hat. Here goes.
The Duke hat lords hat in grey. Brim at 5cm and crown 10,5cm at the pinch. This may have some wool content in the mix even though the sweatband says "pure fur". English made hat and judging by its liner, size label and sweatband an early one. No label behind the sweatband, so hard to say who the maker was. First lords hat in grey I've seen so far.

Nice find, Stefan. Now if only that was my size. Glad though that it's yours.

Thanks for the kind word, friends. Rick makes a great hat that (thankfully) needs no help from me to look sharp!

This arrived today and I couldn't be happier.

From the Dutch Connection:

No...wait...that's French.

It was from this guy!

Thanks again Stefan!

Looks a lot like this guy, his cousin from Marseille.
That beard style may only be worn by the capo di tutti capi.

Thanks, friends. It's what the lounge is all about isn't it? "Capo di tutti i cappelli" would be more like it, but way too much honour. There are far more worthy contenders here for that title.

Very nice hat. Saw the auction for that one. Good get. Were Barcelona hats made by the same company that made Caxton and MacLachlan hats?

I already have the Banjo Paterson In Charcoal and it's the most comfortable hat i own, so i had to buy another in Heritage Fawn. Goes great with my new outback jacket i think.

Here's the one in Charcoal

GOODGODIGOTAGANNON!

My first Gannon and it is amazing. A Granite body, bound brim, and a Slate ribbon. The medium gray is just what I was looking for; lighter outdoors in daylight and darker (more formal) in the shade. Fit and finish are superb. Size is spot-on (I’m one of those “tweens). It is a 4 ½ finished teardrop with a 2 3/8 brim and 1 ½ ribbon. The Slate is a funny beast, a definite purple cast along the top and bottom edges but fades to gray along the center (at least, against a gray body).

Hooray! I know you've been waiting on this one too, glad it finally arrived and that you are pleased with it. I hope you get many happy years of wear out of it!

 

[Rmccamey]

Thanks Woodtroll. It is very, very nice and something unique I'll be able to show off during the holidays. Thanks for all the recommendations and info on Gannon hats to all the Loungers, it really helped me with my decision to purchase from Michael and with my color choices. I will wear it with pride!
