Now that is a proper winter hat.

And I applaud your ingenuity in making yours. I was going to buy a woman's full length Persian lamb coat last week with the idea of lining one of my overcoats with it. Someone bought it before it went on sale today. Darn. But now that I think of it they had a nice shearling jacket there. Maybe I should go get that and fashion it into a warm hat.

Neat to see... I'm guessing you've found the Lounge link to some other examples.

Is there some provenance that leads you believe it is from the 1930s?
Thanks Alan. I have seen the other examples. They had some WILD colors. Makes me think that they were making hats for the circus...

As for provenance... I am pretty sure (unless my brain is worse than I thought) that in my research on Bergen, I discovered something that pretty clearly suggested 1930s. I need to dig through my stuff and will let you know what that was.

Enjoy.

Everybody's looking great again, too many good hats to all praise individually so I'll just have to use the like button...

@Sonero - interesting colour! Most men don't dare to stray away from the traditional browns/grays/navy/black in Winter, so it's good to see someone spicing things up a bit!

Thanks. I love to mess up the program. My roots are NYC. Street Fashion is all about pushing the limit.

Thank you for the compliments everybody! I'm away for a few hours and I can't keep up with all the great hats everybody's wearing anymore!

@mmbarnes - love the shape of that Bergen hat, and you pull it off perfectly!

@FedOregon - everything about that hat is beautiful, but that fantastic bow deserves another mention.

@DJH - intersting ribbon, I really like that.

@mayserwegener - I am really intrigued by that CWN/Liberty hat now. The design on the liner does look Jugendstil/Art Nouveau, which could help with the dating. The Liberty logo on the sweatband features a lion and a unicorn, which are heraldic symbols of the United Kingdom, which would link it to England, hence my suggestion of Liberty's of London. You mention writing on the front of the sweatband, I'd be interested to see a close up picture of that if at all possible.

My Mühlbauer hat isn't from this year's collection, but it is modern. It is handmade in Vienna from really nice material though. Interesting you couldn't find mühlbauer in your directories as they have been around since 1903. I don't know if they just specialised in women's hats, the website isn't clear on that. I've never come across vintage men's Mühlbauer hats either though. Next time I'm in Vienna I'll have to scour the flea markets...

@Kuki - those pictures put a smile on my face, thank you!

@Daniele Tanto - thank you, I wish I were at a party in an Italian villa right now. Maybe this summer... I went on a Palladio tour around Vicenza a couple of years ago, beautiful architecture! Another beautiful hat you're wearing today, amazing that that really is wool.

@Michael A and @Dlaniger - always a joy to see your styling!

@Sonero - great hat/suit colour combination.

Sorry I haven't managed to mention everyone, there are just too many good hats today. Everybody's looking great!
