Yes it is. I didn't really know what it was going to be like but I was pleasantly surprised. Texas hat stores put out some nice hats under their own names. I have had good luck with some so far.

Yea that would describe it. It is a lightweight hat with a soft crown that shapes without steam. The brim is supple. I'm very pleased with it. If I see another from Tepee I won't hesitate.

This Resistol finished out very nice. I'll get more detailed pics for the appropriate thread when lighting permits. Looking forward to wearing it out today.
Coool find, Cuz. I owned a Churchill and still have a Dunlap of the same dimensions and OR look but I don't remember ever seeing a labeled OR with that brim. Obviously out there, just a first for me.

This hat was made in Merano in the workshop of Mathias Hutter, hat maker and hat retailer. I was lucky enough to see what was left after the shop closed, about five years ago, among the known Italian hat brands, especially Borsalino and some foreign representatives there were the "homemade" hats
The machines for forming hats and all the necessary furnishings were still present when the shop was closed, but I could not trace them. I made a long cataloging of the hats present and an estimate, some I had some as payment for my work, others I bought them. This is one of those acquired during my last visit, together with Steve, last year
The hat was not my size, but I liked the color and the felt. So it left for Netherlands and turned into what you see
Fleur of Penumbra Hats gave me advice that I followed
The long nap was cut, the size enlarged and a new ribbon was mounted, leaving the original lining
The proportions are as follow: brim finish with two seams are at 6,5 cm. open crown at 12 cm. and the ribbon is 3 cm.
Felt is thin and dense, really malleable.
Thanks to Fleur for works and patience

Thanks Cuz. I've seen and admired several with the look, yours included, and also like you, this is the first sure enough Open Road I've ever seen with this short of a brim. Fortunately it was just my size. I'm really digging it.

Beautiful hat, Daniele. Nicely restored by Fleur.

In a summer a few years ago a stockist informed me that she would receive many hats, asking me for an evaluation. The hats came to her, but they were for women, only three were for men. Made in Italy they were of three different browns and very similar felt finishes, except one that was in suede. New and remnant of a men's high fashion store. The price agreement was found and my curiosity became noticeable while they were traveling. Upon arrival they turned out to be made in Italy in a good fur felt and "modeled" along the lines of the Borsalino, all had a thin ribbon. Two have left for Holland and in Fleur's hands have taken new shape to be worn
This is marked Kent, very little imagination to give it a trademark
in medium-heavy felt finished with a slight hair
The hat was trimmed with new ribbon and bow, lining and new shape
The dimensions are as follows: raw brim with an "invisible" seam at 6,5 cm. Crown is 12 cm. and the ribbon with a partiular bow at 2,5 cm.
The interior with the original "Kent" patch and the new lining
The Penumbra mark
As for other hats that Fleur of Penumbra has made or reshaped for me I followed her advice without much discussion.
I like to collaborate

That ribbon goes really well with that lovely chocolate brown colour, Daniele.

First of all thank you Stefan and then thanks again for introducing me to the qualities of Fleur of Penumbra Hats. The desire to see something new in my collection came back to me and she gave me the opportunity to transform old and new felts into hats. I often follow her advice and our discussions via email are minimal, but the results give me great satisfaction

I’m taking a hat acquisition hiatus, but I still have a few more trickling in. This Worth & worth flyweight “straw” arrived misshaped due to poor packaging, but it’s responding well to rehabilitation. The lightest hat I currently own.

1930s ? Stetson Opera Hat. The price was right and my 7 year old daughter thinks it's great!!
She has a passion for guality hats and you certainly bring those in for her to work on. Makes me want to see my reworked hats all the more.
A little more tweaking with the brim and its cramped journey will soon be forgotten, Brent. Nice one.I’m taking a hat acquisition hiatus, but I still have a few more trickling in.
