Thank you, Richard!Fine Borsalinos all D
Thank you my friend !!Super Stetson Tuk, love the color. The innards look to be in great shape.
Great finish and snap!
Thanks, for a late 50s hat, the finish is really fine, light and clay like.
That hat is amazing. Love seeing it.
This slim brim Cav is a sweet one. I call my my "Rat Pack" hat. It has been neglected with all the Europeans of late. Best felt, that is why Sinatra wore them.
You are way ahead of all of us being able to sport straws in public. These are excellent Rodolfo!
Two stellar Borsalinos D! I love the contrast on the Como. Looking great!
Thanks D!
Of all the straws this week, I think this one is my favorite! The detail on that ribbon really sets it off.
Beautiful hat.
I'm so impressed by what European makers were able to do with wool. The impression that I get (perhaps erroneously) is that on this side of the pond, the development of techniques for creating highly refined, soft, high wool content felts was something that lagged far behind you guys.
It may have just been the nature of the environment. When settling this great, sprawling land, we were awash in beavers. So much so they were hunted mercilessly to provide material for hats. With such a supply of what is a superior material to wool, there was likely little incentive to develop or maintain the techniques used in Europe.
That was my initial thought, too. But then I was thinking about the large amount of imported fur that (from stuff I read) seems to have predominated in the 20th century industry. And it makes me wonder what other factors may have come into play. Interesting...
A blue beauty Daniele
W O W!!!! That felt color is nothing short of amazing! Wonderful
Thanks to you all. My opinion about the blue color is possible in this way because the wool. We all know that the wool, mixed furs and simple fur have different way to dye. In fact the dyer was the most "secret" work in the hats line of productionSuch a beautiful blue color Daniele. I'm a sucker for a blue hat, this one is outstanding.
Thanks DD. I suspect it's of German origin. They produced these high quality hats under various brand and store names.That Konsul chamois is beautiful! I am not familiar with this brand but the finish looks amazing.

Thanks, Michael. It's getting a little warmer over here, so this is a nice in between coat.Yes, I'm deeply saddened. Will have to release this one to head beater status. Hopefully the sweat is coming around enough to be nicely wearable for the next couple of years, if no longer pristine.
This is true, both a and b parts. But I have 3 Loden coats and I couldn't resist a Loden green hat. Ha ha.
Nice pair of hats there. I like that coat too.
Plenty of hats and a mediocre memory: every day is a joy for me!One would think it would be a tough hat to forget, but with so many passing in front of our eyes (and through our fingers) on a daily basis well, it just sometimes happens...but then there is always the joy of rediscovery!
Thanks, Mike. The Konsul is of those German hats that come in brand names of every description. High quality though. The Seton Hall is of those go-to hats (at the moment); just a joy to wear. A great catch!Very cool. That Konsul has a lovely finish, interesting brand. That Seton Hall really turned out to be a great hat. Great images, good to see them.
Great Portis Jim,
Lovely, Michael. Reminds me to brush off mine and give it a wear again.Finger numbing this morning under The Sovereign Stetson Twenty

Have a good Wednesday,

Resistance is futile! And why would you want to?The Cavanagh "Huggy Bear" lord's hat continues to exert it's irresistible will by forcing me to wear it again.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Great combination, Perry.

Borso Vitali in taupe this morning.
Whippet Wednesday with the Deckard JP Modern Whippet. Heading up for the first class of Spring Term. Taking a graduate seminar on Russian history, just because I'm a geek.

Another fantastic parade of lovely looking hats, Eric.Good white late winter morning here in Minnesota.
Dog walk in my vtg. Lee Desert Tones.
Snow blowing and shoveling snow in my warm parka and a Stormy Kromer cap. This cap is a real working wool cap at my house.
Filled bird feeders and checked on the boathouse in the hat that has involved in the western expansion in the early US - a bowler. Early 1900's Stetson bowler. Love the crown vent and tall crown. It is nice and toasty on a cold snowy morning.
Best, Eric -
Thank you. I admit it gets neglected sometimes under the dominant borsalinos I tend to wear.The Konsul is outstanding Stephan.
