Post New Hats Here!

[Frunobulax]

I don't normally buy hat boxes, but I also have an original 'three way' print ad, and for $21 I figured I could store one of my Stetsons in it.

Back when I was an avid collector I musthear ya. Iihave had 20-30 boxes stacked up all over my studio condo, and that ain't ever happening again. I've seen pictures of various forum members' stacked boxes, so I realize 20-30 is practically nothing

I hear ya.

That's about half of them. In my defense, there's a hat in almost every one of them.

Staalmeester Rembrandt
5 inch crown as shaped
1 7/8 brim with overwelt
1 3/4 charcoal grosgrain ribbon

I decided to dig into Stefan @steur magical mystery care package from a few weeks back to join @BobHufford in his StingyPendance celebration. This Staalmeester is a real beauty with a nice tall crown sitting at 5 inches as shaped with a nice deep center dent. It is a nice medium grey felt with a charcoal grey ribbon. It got a nice fresh steam today to smooth out some wrinkles in the pinch and to tweak the brim a bit.

Very pleased with my new semi calado Panama from Hornskov.

A very generous brim width at 8.5cm (3.3 inches), and crown height at 10cm to the front crease.

I chose the green/wine flower puggaree.

The usual Hornskov roanskin leather sweatband.

The model name is Serene. I feel quite chilled wearing it!

That's a great summer hat, Steve. Nice wide brim for shade and the semi calado weave for ventilation. Lovely.

Thanks Stefan.

I've been dilly-dallying about buying a new straw. So glad I pulled the trigger on this one.

I really like this one. Thank you Stefan. Got another rolling out now…

Dunn and Co - Brown Long Hair
4 3/4 crown as shaped
1 1/4 patterned ribbon
1 7/8 raw edge brim

Once again to Stefan’s magical mystery care package for another StingyPendance entry. Dunn and Co in a beautiful dark brown long hair felt. This hat feels as though it has never been worn. Pure petting felt that shines beautiful in the sun with its long fibers. It’s got a fairly pronounced flange on the back of the brim giving a bit of tyrolean fashion… but it is one really nice looking hat. I love the patterned ribbon.

Hückel Mercur homburg in black. Great hat, but seller sold it is a 58, but tags where inside and shows it's a 56. How can you not see that, i even asked for it. Way too small for me unfortunally. So this one will have to go to another one.

Looks in very good condition, Marcel. Shame about the size.

Having moved to southwest Florida in 2022, I don't see much weather where I can comfortably wear my felt hats, so this Panama has got to the point where it's a little too "authentic".

I'll post the finished product once received.

I've ordered a new Optimo from Panama Hats Direct.

Very nice Joe.
At a look I have some suspicious it is a Vanzina disguised as Dunn.
It has too many elements that lead it towards that producer.
Neverthless a distingished hat!

I'm glad to hear it, Marcel. It deserves one.

I thought it might well have your name on it, Stefan

Congrats!

Thanks, Steve. Turned out I didn't even have a Hückel black homburg; imagine that!

I find that hard to believe, but it sounds like you've got a good argument for buying it when Mrs. Steur asks "why?"

This might get me a glare of extraordinary magnitude!

Scott & Co. ca. 1930s Bowler as sold at renowned Danish/Swedish hatmaker A.F. Bodecker's establishment in Copenhagen.

A solid Bowler with all the quality you'd expect from a Scott & Co.

Sadly, the sweatband is loose in all but one place.

The loose sweat is a bit of an irritation as the Bowler fits perfectly.
