Thanks, Hal.Looks like a perfect coat/hat combination to me (it would be nice to see the coat as a whole).
Some say trench-coat plus fedora/trilby is a cliché; I think most of us would say it is classic.
Now that is a bold statement! You will be turning heads with this wonderful hat. "Who was that movie star!!"Nope. Still my favorite.
Thanks Serge.Looking very stylish, but oh boy, fedora and trenchcoat. Did you get 'the comment'?

I threatened to wear my deer stalker with it next time. Of course... usually I reserve that one for when I want to embarrass my son in public.
Very elegant! Love the bird!!Have a good saturday everyone!

Nice lookin hat, Creepy Bob.The creepy guy behind her a Camp Draft.
This makes me want to go on a Grand Tour, Old Hat Edition. Are you going to organize one!!Yes it's too bad they didn't focus more on production but I doubt they have anyone that knows much about the past history or cares to look into it in detail.
The German Hat Musuem in Lindenberg, Germany (Mayser Hats is headquartered there) is more production oriented so probably worth taking a look at if you are ever in the area.

Your point about not being able to see the inside of the hats is a big problem for people like us that collect and wear hats. Luckily the hat museum at the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Hat Museum, Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany allowed me to go through the men's hats in their archives and also photo document the hats. I was also able to look through their library and photo documents of interest. This museum has been a great resource to me. I still have a back log of documents I need to post on my website.

I also visited the hat museum at the Nový Jičín (was Neutitschein, Austria prior to WWI) City Museum in Moravia, Czechia (this was Austrian Velour center with JHS (now TONAK), AP and BB). They have about 6000 hats in their archives which I wasn't able to see but the curator gave me many great photos which are posted on my website. Since my visit they opened an additional museum that is dedicated to the production of hats.

There is also Frech Hüte in Wien.

Collins Salzburg - Wien made hats up until around 2010. There is still production information on their website. Their hat maker worked at P. & C. Habig Wien and supposedly they have some of the old P. & C. Habig hat forms. I have no idea if they still have all this equipment / machines.

A private dick? Sorry I couldn't resist...Thanks, Hal.
I was called Philip Marlowe by a lady at a meeting that I attended this morning. I appreciated it (heck, it's better than Inspector Gadget). On another occasion, I walked by some young kids while wearing the coat and a hat. I heard one of them say "Look. It's a detective." Pricelessly cute (especially since I have a hard time locating my keys, let alone detecting anything!)
I will try to remember to post some shots of the coat on the trench coat thread (I'm pretty sure that I have seen that thread on the Lounge). It's a Sanyo https://www.sanyonewyork.com/our-story from either the 70s or 80s that my dad gave to me.
Be well and have fun.
Nice lookin hat, Creepy Bob.
This is a classic look, you rock it!Rained overnight. Still a drop here and there.
Yesterday the high temperature was 33°f. Today it is supposed to be near 60°f. The weather here is odd.

Yippee.
Happy Saturday to all!
It's great to have you here.
But please stop that talk about the Lounge being an imaginary universe. I have spent lots of time convincing myself that this place is the REAL world.
That other world is full of crazy people [emoji12]. I mean, what kind of people don't wear hats all of the time, post pictures of themselves and admire pictures of other people who have done the same thing?!?! CRAZY PEOPLE, I SAY!!!

This won't be enough hat, jacket or boots when the temperature starts dropping, the snow starts droppng and the wind heads toward gale force. But then again I may not leave the house after that snow starts.

A lot of fine hats here already today. Especially for a Saturday. I thought most of you guys hung out here when you were at work so that you didn't have to, you know, work?
Have a great weekend.
Michael
