Daniele HOW do you do it?! Every hat is nicer than the last, and you look like royalty wearing this hommy!!

Thanks Charlie for this "regal look" you see, but I'm only wearing a old coat and more ancient hat
I worked a few days last week to put in order the hats in the new closet, so I found the opportunity to wear the "forgotten"

Putting up Christmas decorations and running errands with my granddaughter. Wearing my Akubra Stockman.

Ouch, sounds expensive. Good luck with the repairs.

Panama hat for today

It's a great hat. And yes, the fabric in the coat is some great stuff. Out of the '50s I suspect. But when I was out and about today the only thing that got honorable mention from a bystander was my shoes.

Wingtip balmorals from Porto-Ped, most likely made during the 1960s.

Thanks,
Michael

WOW, Michael!! I have NEVER seen a capped toe like that. OUTSTANDING, sir!! What tells you about the age? I would have guessed a bit earlier, but I don't really know.

You have the best eyes for the prize out there!!

Thanks Michael and Charlie. I agree the shoes were something of a find. Charlie - I thought they were probably earlier too, but there is a patent number on the cushioned arch support that dates to 1959.

The cap toe that grew wings. What amazes me is the number of stitches per inch they used in sewing these together.

Really great shoes, Michael and the indented welt left in a natural color is a nice finishing touch.

We expect a little rain (far too **** warm for the time of year, of course), so I reached for an Akubra. Customized Moonstone Fed today:

Hiya.

The Hat Fairy dropped off this nice old Regal Hat Company 5 1/4" crown derby at my house last night. (I love you, Hat Fairy. You make me happy.)

Regal was a Chicago manufacturer that seems to have mainly specialized in caps. It was owned by David Spear. Interestingly enough, his brother owned Spear & Company hats in New York. Their father was also prominent in the industry in Chicago. The two companies merged into Regal-Spear in the late 1910's.

The last ad that I can find for a Regal derby dates from 1914. The majority of all its derby ads (there aren't many) were published between 1905 (I attach one from that year) and 1907. Its advertising hook was that you could get yourself a great hat for just $2.00. I paid a little more, but I agree that it is a great hat. What feels like silk binding and ribbon is a very nice touch.

Hope that each of you is having a swell day.
