When I picked up this Imperial Stetson this morning, it reminded me of why I love hats. I wish I could put that into words...

Of course, the nice thing about this place is that you guys get it.

Got a second hat in Australia.

Just outside Sydney, went to The Hattery. Lovely, very helpful ladies there, and a great selection of Akubras and other hats. Tried on a bunch of contenders, but decided on a Banjo Patterson in black. Years ago, I debated hard between a Lawson and a Banjo Patterson, and went with the Lawson. So now I've got the other.

You know how the days after you you buy a new hat, seeing it on yourself out of the hat store, it sometimes seems different to you? My other Akubras, I liked even more. This one, I'm not sure about yet. I really liked it in the store, but now the crown seems a little more rounded to me. And since I have a massive noggin, (7 7/8 or 63, Long Oval) I'm very sensitive to hats that that have a really tall crown or wide brim. This brim is great, but I'm not sure how the taller brim works with my big head.

A large print dating from the 1930s showing the Vienna and Neutitschein / Novy Jicin (two factories one for felt hoods and one for finished hats) factories. The print belongs to (Jonathan) the grandson of Victor Böhm owner and chief inventor at Brüder Böhm Wien, Neutitschein / Novy Jicin.

And then, when I went home I just had this urge to put on this 40,'s Game Bird.

I love that hat.

I'm glad that you didn't get hurt during your arboreal adventure.
Saturday and a touch of snow. Standing under a mid-50s Royal Stetson Whippet.

Today it’s the Mystery Black. It’s the spittin image of a Stetson The Boss Raw Edge i posted in “The Fray”. Nice felt, stiffer, maybe not worn as much. I kinda like it.
Be well. Bowen
That's a great looking hat. The bow work is very cool.

Stetson 3X that I think is from the mid 50s.

Size tag, manufacturers label point to mid 50s. Store price tag for $18 is more like late 60s which I don’t believe this hat is. More pics in New Hats thread
Have a great weekend

Thanks Red. That was a great little hat you were under today. Hope your squad won.

Woke up late to discover a light rain and no wind. Brush burning time! Tossed on a jacket and boots along with my new work hat ... a Resistol that I just added a leather rough-out band to. Excuse the look. I call it "Accidental @Michael A "... :D

Ha ha, did you steal my Monkee Wards pants Bob? Nice looking Resistol, but I think a color like Charcoal might be favored for burning attire.

Thanks all,
Michael
