That's a nice color! The campaign ribbon looks very good on it.

Thanks, Dd. You mentioned the two things that first drew me to it.

Thank you all for the appreciation of the Imperial Stetson.

That is one of the most beautiful hats I've ever seen

I don't wear it too often. It is one of a small number of hats that I keep in its original box. I pee my pants just a little whenever I take it out. The owner of this hat died in 1943 and it stayed with the family for decades afterwards until I purchased it in 2011.

Love this one Bama! As well as the '100' from the day before and the one the day before that and...

Thank you, Bob. That Miller Bros. you are wearing is spectacular. If Michael and I weren't the same size, maybe he'd send something my way, instead of us battling over every nice western that turns up.

Very elegant hat, Daniele!

Wonderful hat, Daniele. Look forward to hear more about Charles Hatters.

Thanks to the Dutch!

You should have worn that on Halloween, Alan.

It is frighteningly fantastic.

That's definitely a genuine show piece. My day got better just seeing it.

The personal history puts it a few notches up. I can understand the peeism syndrome.

That is one fantastic hat!!! Wow!

Indeed fantastic!

Gold Medal class. Perfect balance. The bow stands out but just right. Beautiful

Did Roger work for Montgomery Ward?

I don't think it was THAT Brent.

While everyone starts enjoying their weekend I’m wearing a 40s Mallory to work tonight. My weekend starts a 7:30 Sunday morning.

Dated 20Nov1922 Mell's Mell-O-Fit green long hair heather. This hat is a favorite of mine, and I hope you will all enjoy it as well. It normally hides away in a box, but this being the month of it's birth, I figured I'd allow it to see the morning sunrise. Mackinaw is from the c.1920s

That hat a coat are massive! Massive cool Justin. Both make a super statement.

OPS-era Dobbs Cross Country. Hankachif felt. Lighter than a hummingbird fart.

Great crease work on that Dobbs Jim. Character all the way.

It's spirit week at the high school and today is "Dad Day" -- so my favorite English teacher dressed up as her baby daddy:

Both 40's Stetsons -- St. Regis for her, Whippet for me.

She wears 'em well. You should encourage her more often.

Great hat, great images Fabio.

I haven't posted in this thread for most of the past week as I've mostly been staring at the pine ceiling of my kitchen which is now white, or the walls which are now green, or the... you get the picture.

Anyway, a while back @steur sent me this Habig, in part exchange / part present (he sent two hats) for a Dunn Homburg that was slightly too small for me, slightly too large for him. The Habig is slightly too big for him and was slightly too small for me but I stretched it a hair, and recreased it last evening.

Having now played with it, I think someone trimmed the brim down to 'around' 2.5 inches at some stage. Which is a shame but I love it. It's not a bad job, or noticeable really, It's just a bloody nice comfortable hat.

Yeh, I'm just putting some text between my post and some of the legendary lids above.

Beautiful. The last image has a tan tint to it. Which is true to color?

Good to hear the stretching worked out. Looks great on you, Mike.

Yes, this one is in line to be a favorite. Fits just right, smooth, supple felt, and the perfect curl. Love this one a lot. Thanks Friend!

Chaotic day and only now can I post photos today

"Charles Hatters" with pleated ribbon and trimmed brims

The hat is new and comes directly from the large Merano field

The felt is medium stifness and the finish is excellent

This is a hat made by Vanzina or Borsalino.
Within a few days, we will consider the situation of Charles Hatters

Meanwhile good weekend and thank you for appreciating his brother

Love that tight shark's gill treatment. Nice brim edging too. Very nice Daniele.

I agree about that color. The OR lines with a horse of a different color.

Lots of great Friday hats, everyone looks totally sharp

Great hat Richard, the pinch of the ribbon is kind of cool.

Hey folks!
All this talk of Brents made me want to wear my Brent Airlite.

Have a great day!

I have to jump on the bandwagon for this one Alan. It is truly the most beautiful hat EVER!!!

That finish looks even greater in the sunlight.
