Thank you. I've been looking for one very nice boater for a while. Glad Bob was willing to part with it.

If I placed a Boater like that on my head for even a moment, anyone over a certain age who saw me would think I was on my way to a job interview at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour...

But on Randy, it looks perfectly at home! What's up with that???

Seriously Randy, that's a fine hat and it looks great on you!

I won't post so much about the recent acquisitions as Stefan has posted them on various threads on the FL.

I just want to point out that these beauties are, thanks to Stefan, now in my collection :)

It's been quite a poor year as far as new hats are concerned. So grateful that Stefan found these 3 and sent them my way.

Satisfying to see them go to a good home.

Another recent and somewhat unique find that I picked up via Facebook Marketplace here in Denmark a couple of weeks ago.

An Oscar Bluth Top Hat.

Cool find, Steve. These old boxes are usually trashed.

Cambiaghi homburg in grey woolfelt. Size 56 with the bound brim at 5,5cm and the crown at 10cm at the center dent. Brim curl is still a bit wavey due to poor storage and it has some mothdamage on the underside of the brim. Cambiaghi was a manufacturer specialised in woolfelt, but we rarely see homburgs made out of wool. Reason is that they often were "Sunday best" hats and/or aimed at customers who could afford furfelt.
This one is probably a forties hat. The sweatband mentions the 9 grand prix, the last one of which was 1937, so it is later than that date. They did a pretty good job on it: the hat weighs 137 grams.
