[Short Balding Guy]

A modern Gannon (silverbelly with charcoal ribbon) went out to lunch with me.

Best, Eric -

Mallory Aristocrat back bow c1958 today. Trying to get the "closet collection" some wear before the weather turns. Love the felt on this one, very smooth. The ribbon still has the basting stitches from the retailer, like new!

Good looking hat, Mike. I love it when a vintage hat turns up as good as new like that.

Vintage Borsalino for services. This is a hat that @bond saved. Story is in Borsalino Brotherhood.

It's a beaut and deserved to be saved!

Yesterday, 1930s Stetson 3x

Today, 1900s Stetson Special

Justin, you're the king of the vintage vintage hats!

First generation Stetson Stratoliner, c.1941. 2.5 ounces, with pin.

I love the shape of this hat. By the shape alone I never would have guessed it was a strat.

Two hat day. Taking time out from set building at the theater to attend the International Student Dinner at church. Knox Premier Strat Clone will be casual enough for the the event.

Very nice, Mike. I really like the shape and colour of that one.

Until July
A hatter without a hat. For shame [emoji14]

Must have given them all away to someone close to her! Nice picture and great hat, Harv.

Borsalino Nutria in mertillo.

May each of you have a marvelous Monday.

The only way it would be more perfect is if it was in my size! Superbness in felt, Matt.

Hope you are surviving your Monday,

Excellent hat and look, Michael.

Looks like the Knox makes a good camping hat. Next step is to make a hat holder for the teardrop....

Dittos on what I said to Matt. I love seeing the ORs in different shades.

I came this close (holds thumb and forefinger very close together) to putting this hat on eBay last week. It's a great hat, but I'd convinced myself it fit funny (it's a wide oval), but it really doesn't. I'm wishy-washy on the back bow, and the ribbon width limits the pinches I put in. Well, I spent some quality time with it yesterday, steaming, brushing, and reshaping. I took out the diamond, ironed out the ghosts, gave it a good steambath and brushed out the nap. It's such a great color, and I do like it, but I'm still flirting with a ribbon change out. It's the only Resistol dress felt I own, and I would hate to give up my only hat from Paducah!!

Hope everybody's day is exceptional.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

That is a gorgeous colour indeed, Jim. I suppose you could move the whole ribbon a quarter turn and the back bow would be on the side like normal fedora.

Lovely shape to that brim again, Perry. You do that so well.

Grab-and-go Resistol 4X quasi conversion:

If you notice a little drool in the photos it’s because I’m still lusting after Alan’s Strat.

That colour combination could not be better, Bob. Super!

Meandered by the house a while ago and picked up a light felt that I tend to neglect:

Lee Adventure. It's factory creased and saw lots of use from its prior owner. It came to me with an aftermarket sweat. And the printing on the onionskin liner tip is just about illegible.

If the liner tip were in good shape, it would look kind of like this:

But with different color print, I reckon.

Happy rest o' the day.

Still looks great. These well worn hats have a charm of their own. Good one, matt.

Been a bit busy but finally back. Beautiful Blue Wilson fedora.

Nice colour and great proportions, Richard.

R. & M. Wegener possibly late 1920s. The felt has a very soft hand and airy lightness. My only pre 1940 Wegener Soft Felt so a rare find.

Porcelain Top Hat promo item from the shop (Th. Scheunpflug, Freiberg i/sa. / Saxony) that sold this hat.

Outstanding hat and great find, Steve.

Wearing the Beaver brand. I needed a photo for the gunfight group I will be joining, so my wife took one for me. Thought I would share,

Fantastic DD. Stunning with that outfit.

Thanks for all of the likes, comments and kind words over the last few days.

Knox Madison Avenue. Last felt for a while, I suppose. Temperatures are supposed to go summer tomorrow. Bummer...

Color doesn't photograph too well in this morning's sun. This one from a month or two back is more on point.

That a terrific Tuesday.

Terrific is the right word, Matt. What a great hat. Love the ribbon and bow.
