Post New Hats Here!

[Blare]

My new Epsom arrived today. First fur felt bought new from a store.

Somewhat lighter and softer than I expected, but that's not a complaint.

Has a real nice look to it. Lovely red liner!

The second hat of the day is a classic that cannot be more classic.

A Barbisio production of the seventies or perhaps the sixties in a combination of colors seen several times in Italy, as well as the shape and proportions.

Barbisio Classic, Qualità Extra Extra size 59 centimeters, but more a 58 than the size indicated, arrived so far in excellent condition.

The medium weight felt is very malleable and has a dark gray with a black ribbon.

The felt color is called "Rimini" as the town on the Adriatic sea, the ribbon is black with an ancient bow design

These are the measurements: the raw brims are at 5.5 cm, the crown at its lowest point is at 10.5 cm. and the black ribbon is 4.5cm. high

As mentioned in other posts, the classic Barbisio, that was made in Sagliano Micca in the historic production workshop, are increasingly scarce, so when I find someone I buy it, this for some lover of the Italian classics with a head diameter suitable for its measures

Every now and then my passion for homburg or diplomatique returns, in this case, for a black one

I don't have many variations of this type of hat in black in my collection: too seen.
I kept the ones who cross the threshold of beauty for my taste.

This Flechet tempted me and so here it is

Flechet Foulard size 60 cm, even if I can't find the size indication, in fact it is a 59 perhaps because it has shrunk over time

Unlined and built with a very light felt and a non-sewn sweatband looks like a homgurg for warm seasons.

The construction details are good and the written indications qualify it as a quality product.

Its paper label, handwritten and stamped, seems to carry it to the years between the two world wars as a date of construction.

These are the measures of the French classic: brim curved particularly on the sides 6 cm. crown low point 11 cm. and the ribbon is 5.5cm.

A classic French black homburg with the charm of heyday of hats

Great find, Daniele. I think Barbisio did some of it's finest work with the "classic" line of hats.

Fantastic Steven. Congratulations

Bought this on on commission so to speak. I knew it wasn't my size. Sometimes you get lucky with hats like that, but not this time, so it will go to a trusted collection.
Stetson Standard Quality bowler. Brim at 5,3cm and crown at about 13cm (eyeballing it a bit here). Lovely hand to the felt and finishing is top notch. Only thing is some foxing on the liner. From what I gather early to mid-thirties. Imported by Sools of Paris.

A slightly different New Hat Post than usual for me.
My new to me Druids Oak Tricorn .
I was recently commissioned Colonel, Commanding of the Kingston Reds Rhode Island Historic Militia.
Founded in 1775, the Kingston Reds, 3rd Kings County Regt. are 1 of 14 remaining Historic Chartered Military Commands whose lineages stretch back to the mid 18th century that serve in mostly ceremonial rolls under the Adjutant General of the RI National Guard.
I descend directly from multiple founding members including the original Commander Capt. Nathan Taylor, elected by the Company in October 1775.
Pics of me in uniform to come eventually as I am usually the one taking them.


One weekend a month we can be found doing this at the Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene Homestead.

And when we want to torture the neighbors, this.

Excellent Dave. I know you will wear it with pride. Ancestry is a powerful force and it is obvious that you take pride in history. Congratulations.

Congrats Colonel! Stylin' hat with the bound brim and unusual bow work -- and I really like how you creased it. It goes well with your "suit" ... and cannon.

(Seriously Dave -- congrats on the honor and kudos to you for keeping this history alive).
