Newly acquired Stetson Standard Quality Feather Weight - a velour/heather hybrid... soft but not as refined or as squishable as a European velour. Weighs 3.4 ounces - more lightweight than featherweight. Sold in the 1930s by a historic Milwaukee hat shop that closed in 1970.

@Frunobulax Is that the one I heard was so Soft ? For a New Akubra ? OC ? 2 1/2" brim ? You need to be the model ! That looks SWEET ! Better than I could imagine for 2 1/2" brim , Love the color ! But Everybody wears them (their Hats) Well !
First, thanks to everybody for the good thoughts yesterday. Y'all are a bunch of good eggs and it's a pleasure to be in your company.

Second, great hats today (as usual). Too busy and frankly, a little wiped out today to make specific comments, but another great hat parade on a Good Friday.

I leave this one on the rack all too often, grabbing a vintage instead. But then I put this on and wear it for a while and it all comes back to me - soft, comfortable, great deep, rich chocolate color, perfect fit. The Akubra Fedora. I think it has a Playboy vibe to it, even down to how soft it is. Nothing like vintage, of course, but all-in-all, one of the nicest lids I've purchased new.

Been following this thread all week without a lot of time to post and I haven't seen a mediocre hat in the bunch. All stellar as usual. I didn't figure anyone, with the exception of Dale, wanted to see me in a PBR ball cap as I was cleaning out gutters and doing early spring yard work for my mom. Got a little me time this afternoon and I'm heading out looking for a cocktail in my Stetson Twenty mode edge.
