I like the look you are getting out of the Brent today Moehawk. It reminds me of the hats seen in Foyle's War.

Michael
Thanks Michael.
The more I look at this one, the more I think it might be from that time period. The unreeded sweat, no liner tip protector and old school looking factory sticker make me lean to the forties rather than my initial guess of the fifties. The "twin" to this one, the Pilgrim I got at the same time, is almost identical in look and feel but with a reeded sweat, an onionskin tip protector and a more modern looking sticker. I think it is early fifties.

If this one goes missing, you know who took it... And on that note, if you're ever looking to sell her, you know who to PM =)

Cool. It's great when you can wander across an old one unexpectedly.

I loved that Foyle's War series on netflix. I noticed several hats (not all, but some) worn by Foyle and some others that were fedoras but they had flat brims front and back.
Yes, many of the hats had very little bending in the brims. Camera angles played a part of that story too I think. Most had some upturn at the back and many some snap at the front. I think the brim width varied from series year to series year as well. I think it's my favorite look. Not that I play favorites much as you may notice.

Wow, Esther! That's a nice one. Love the color and touchable finish.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Great work on that double binding.
I like that ribbon too.
You'll be in stores within a decade. Mark my words.

Beautiful felt, beautiful hat. You wear your stingy brims well [emoji41]

Absolutely top notch Esther. Brilliant work. Did I mention that I love it?

Thank you all for the kind words!
It's a indeed a modern quality TONAK velour felt that they unfortunately discontinued the color of...

@sergejvandervreede I don't know. I prefer a little more brim usually, but thank you for saying so :)

I solemnly swear that I'm wearing a hat every day. Same old hat every day tough, and going utterly nuts on the last days of the crowdfunding for Barcelona's Stroll with a Hat event. Seems pretty clear that we will reach the minimum and get the funding, pfffiuuu. Yesterday I was flabbergasted when I saw that Philip Treacy had made a contribution, it doesn't get much better than that. I had sent an email, but never in a million years hat I expected a contribution, not because the event is not worth it, but because he is a very busy guy. So by the time I had taken this pictures on the elevator at the end of the day I was pretty happy:

This hat is the generous gift that Steve took me straight from Vienna.
In his research of "perfect" velour he has found a couple of magnific hats, one arrived in the United States, the other has stopped in Verona. Thanks Steve!

Huckel Platin sold in Wien. H. Peder was the seller

The felt, really soft, is black with some gray shades

The shape is that of a hat made in the thirties although to date it Steve is the most reliable source

Clean, combed and put in form is returned to its former glory
These are the last days to wear the hats of velour, heat advancing undeterred

The hat is a piece of history of glorious Austrian hatters of the last hundred years

Thanks for the likes for the other velour presented with the brand Borsalino as maker.

The royal road remains open. So I progress along it in my week of seeing what hats and three piece suits look like together.

In my $10 hat, original price that is.

No sun again today, in fact quite a lot of rain expected. I'll have to put on my Woolrich raincoat when I go out.

I'm counting on the Stetson to keep my head dry.

Gorgeous hats being shown here this morning at the lounge. Get your tickets now.

Jeez Louise as they say around here. That is one gorgeous HAT Daniele. Wow and double Wow. If I had a hat like that I think I might call it game over on the hat buying and trying.
