Hey all!
The wet and gusty has returned. This calls for a snug lid with low wind resistance. Like this early 60s Stetson Twenty Five. Beautiful felt, just not a lot of it with it's slim 1 7/8" brim and low crown. Still has style and plays well with umbrellas.

I thought it interesting that there is no mention of the felted edge on the sweatband.
Have a great day!

I like it. Is that a green tone I detect?

After playing grim reaper this morning, I stopped by the chateau for casualization.

While it wasn't on my mind at the time, I suspect that I subconsciously chose this one because of that fantastic Tonak that @mayserwegener hit us with yesterday. Must've made me envious...

It's a 1930s Dobbs. A very kind gentleman in Missouri entrusted it and two other of his late father's hats (the teal Game Bird & a Knapp-Felt derby) to me. I will forever be honored by that gesture.

Thank you for your comments Cindy and Matt and for the likes for yesterday's photo. I've not been feeling like myself for a while and I've drifted out of touch with day to day hat adventures. Here is a simple little old furry number sold at Saks maybe ninety years ago. I think I will bring it with me on a trip to the city next week.

It's great to see you Alan. I hope you get back to feeling good again!

I don't know much about the Knox Kimball, I believe it's probably early 60's as the company that sold it, Newburgs out of Medford, WI sold out around 1963. If anyone knows about this hat I'd appreciate any info.
