Today it’s a Portis Sterling quality. I thought i’d better post it before i send it off to a guy who really likes it.
As always, your kind words have been appreciated. Thanks
Be well. Bowen

That could be anybody, couldn't it? Looks great to my eye.

A few days ago Michael was wearing his Stetson Sovereign Twenty. I have one too, but could not find a noggin shot of me wearing it. Found it!

Yesterday was the Dobbs gamebird (how could I not wear that one?)

Two hat day today. First: Borsalino fu Lazzaro (more in the new hats and borsalino threads)

And a Wegener homburg

A gorgeous hat, Brother Justin. What are the colors? I'm seeing taupe, burgundy and cream/beige?

Thanks -- it's a light brown felt with matching brim binding and a maroon crown ribbon.

Hey everyone!
Change of plans. Sun came out, so the Optimo Superfino gets the nod.

I'm leaning more towards the idea of having Art make this into a hybrid...
Have a great day!

I vote not. I’d wear that great hat just the way it is Moe. Even with the brim break it is always gonno be a great classy straw. Such fine weave, be ashamed to see some in the trash. Just my opinion but it’s super.
Be well. Bowen

Beautiful Borsalino. Love that shade!

C. G. Wilke "Flamand" probably late 1920s. Flamand is an unshorn Velour.

Probably not worn like this in the day but you can see the large amount of brim flange. Also the brim over-welt, crown form, and lively bow design.

Mette, Obermarkt 6, Freiberg in recent times. Now called Barbara Mette Hats, Caps and Bridle Wear so she is probably related Reinhold.

The vintage Stetson bowler/derby

Yeah, you want an open weave Panama crown for a duplex anyway. Terrible waste to cut up a tight weave Montecristi.

Wow, this parade was a real treat. How do I choose a favorite? I dunno, that Gamebird is hard to beat.

I love that one Steve. Looks good with brim up or down. That unshorn finish is fantastic, as is the color and the bow work.

Un merveilleux Marseillaise... par Flechet. One from RLK's remarkable NOS discovery some years back.

Daaaaang...
Awe inspiring.

Mike, thank you. Bob did a great job bringing this hat back to life.

Two hat day! My other "work" hat will travel down to build some set pieces at the theater tonight. This hat is a perfect example of a low end, cheap hat for a few bucks in the 1950s. I have not found any references, yet, to this odd company, possibly a jobber. Hat City Hat Co. of Danbury Conn. Another one for the beater thread.
It won't bother this one to be covered in sawdust and theater dirt.

Yes you do!
A nice olive green in a size 58 to be more specific...
