It's an icy one in Iowa today, be careful if you are in the area. Some very nice hats on the lounge again today. Must catch up.

Did the rain freeze on that Gun Club? I like the vest with that jacket. Glad you are feeling a little better.

Early morning light in my atelier and a cup of coffee makes for a happy Esther.

Another beautiful hat, I really like the size and shape of the brim on this one.

Wormser today, thanks to a trade with rclark. Not sure I'll keep the cattleman crease, but the hat fits perfectly. Thanks, Rick!

Looking good. I do miss your beard though...

Happy Monday. Hope that it's crud-free.

Wow, what a brim & ribbon! Great hat! I hope you feel better soon & at the very least enjoy the drugs

Yesterday - Selentino Velour

I'd never even heard of Selentino until now. Looks like you've got the right weather for a fuzzy hat there. Great pics as ever!

I like that braided ribbon, did you add it yourself or did the hat come with it?

This beautiful laye 40s Mallory made into my collection from New Orleans to New york modern time. Its been around. Give me your feed back. I even gave you some liner shots.

Beautiful hat! Is the blue in the 2nd and 3rd pictures close to the true colour? It looks really nice and vibrant there.

Stetson 3X to start the week!

Resistol Beaver 25. This is one of two I have but some verdigris had nearly destroyed the hat before I got it. I was able to salvage the sweat but the ribbon and wind trolley were rotted. Decided to go with a contrasting setup I got from Scott. The boots, mid 60's TL's I snuck in for Mr. Hemingway.

Great ribbon job Greg, I like the contrast.

Thanks Celia!

Crud-free wishes back atcha, Matt. That C&K is one of my all-time Lounge lid favs!! You do look a bit pale, but maybe it's the lighting...

 

[Frunobulax]

Doing fine. Thanks for asking.
Are you doing okay too...???

Sitting upright and taking nourishment. Can't complain, buddy.

Hey guys! I've been away on business for a week-and-a-half so I haven't been able to stop in.

Backtracking: I gave my little presentation on how to fold hats to my wife's AP English students. They were very impressed with the little bit of knowledge I had to share and they loved checking out my small (to them huge) collection of vintage lids. In the presentation, I covered different hat types, crown and rake styles, brim types, lining types, fur qualities, popular vintage brands, how to measure your hat size, and (finally) I gave a demo on how to steam, fold, and brush a hat. They loved it! They wanted to know where to find a good beginner fur hat to practice folding—I recommended both ebay and D'Aquino on Etsy (some like vintage; others prefer new). Then they asked where they should go for a good custom hat (for when they feel like they can properly appreciate a good hat)—I recommended MC Gannon based on everyone else's stellar reviews, and also because his price range isn't totally unreasonable for a college student. The kids started a group-chat to geek out about their newfound hat lust.

Anyway! Today, good ol' Lock & Co:

Welcome back! I was wondering where you and your excellent homburgs had disappeared to

This is one of my favorite hats in my collection

It is one of the few that I think comes from before the Second World War, but I'm very restrictive with the dating of ancient hats

It is a Thibet Luxe made in France

Its uniqueness is felt. Black, soft and shiny, without having a pronounced hairiness. It is probably a mixture of wool and fur, or if it's just the fur is a special mixture used to achieve a similar result

The dimensions are very similar to homburg last week marked A. France in brown, imposing

The excellent finishes are those of a world that no longer exists in the hats production

Here is the inside of the hat and the particular of the brand

A huge thanks for your likes and conversations
Buon Lunedì

And another beautiful homburg! Your choice of hats never disappoints Daniele!

wearing hat that received on friday. The weekend was very rainy so i couldnt wear it. But the rain has gone and the sun and hot returned.

You must be on the other side of the world to me, it was -8C here this morning, I could do with some of that heat you're having. At least it stopped snowing. Hope your hat helps against the sun!

Imperial Stetson Vita -Felt today.

Very nice, that ribbon looks like it has an interesting colour...

Oooh, that's a really nice herringbone pattern! Great picture

 

[Bob Roberts]

Thx Red. I curled up the sides of the brim a bit to give em some swoop.

Driving our rental car thru the ice storm on our return from coaching at a meet this weekend has me whooped! Wore a Cordova Cap this weekend. Got home to drop luggage off, shower and change and then heading back to the gym.

Best, Eric -

Now that's a beautifully made cap. I might start getting into flat caps...

A cold rain today. The Stetson Gun Club kept my head dry.

I'm glad you seem to be recovering from the flu. Keep yourself warm & dry - and keep postimg your great pictures of course

Yesterday I went to Alentejo to visit some relatives I didn't see for a year. Also went to some abandoned places were my mother lived her childhood.
Behind me was a school my mother went when she was 10, now 60's years after, sadly it's abandoned. This type of school was a demand of Salazar to literate the population and a lot of them are scattered in Alentejo even on remote places like this one. Even today, no paved road is available to get there.

Today this giant hat

Loving the ribbon on that first hat. I hope you had a nice time with your relatives. Such a shame about the school being abandoned and seemingly left to fall apart, it looks like it was once a beautiful building.

I've been trying to post this all day but it's been a busy day! Finally caught a break to post.

"The Dallas" goes with me today.

It 's good for you to take a break and show us your nice hats

 

[tropicalbob]

Thanks Bob. Abt 2 and 3/4 inch.

I've always liked the Alessandria but thought the smaller (2 1/2") brim didn't suit it. Your hat is something of a revelation to me, as it just looks "right." When and why did they switch to the smaller brim? Your hat was a great find: in fact, I'll keep it in mind for my next custom.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

I love the giant hat!!!!

Me too Perry.
When can we see your big hats?

 

[hatsRme]

Do I spot your dog sneaking into that last picture?

Thank you kindly, Celia, and I wish that Borsa fit you! Yup, my dog "Miles" is the friendliest pooch around; to a fault, even!
Here he's demonstrating his stealthy moves of affection on poor, unsuspecting Lauren...

 

[Frunobulax]

Lol. Liquid...? Well then "Cheers" my friend.

Was thinking about that. Been inside all day. Could use a wet one, but the place I want to go is closed for the Holiday. Sure would like to put on a hat and go have a pint, though.

It was freezing cold when I left the house to go to the doctor's this morning, so I stuck with the furry hat as I didn't want my ears to freeze off. I did switch to this borsalino at some point later on, but my ears didn't agree with that decision...

The ribbon is original to the hat, the hat is a Resistol Stagecoach made between 1979 and 1982. Model name is "Johnny Fry"

It was a short time with my relatives, my grand-aunt is 92 years old but she's on a wheelchair and loosing her memory. She is very very close to my mother almost like a second mother.

The school is on ruins, all windows broken, the roof is collapsing. My mother tells it was always clean and it had a garden. It was the students that took care of it but it's closed for many years now.
My father went to a school just like this one but it's a bit far from this one (well by car it's like 5-10 minutes) and it is in a worst condition with no roof... just the walls. The Portuguese government tried to sell it cheap but no one bided on it...

Haha, got to love that picture!

It was a shame about that Borsa because it was a really nice hat. Hopefully it has found an owner who appreciates it as much as we do

Hey all!
Spent a lazy afternoon trying to make a Sears hat look different than it's Montgomery Ward twin by changing the ribbon and bow to one inspired by a J. C. Penney hat.
Pilgrim, customized.

I went from a 1" ribbon to a 1 1/2", with a bow inspired by my 20's Marathon. Might get some minor tweaking before all is said and done.
Have a great day!
