Thanks Doug. It was a good day for hats and cold weather gear here.
Ha ha. I didn't realize until I got outside that I hadn't put my Iron Rangers on. So it was the Emu sheepskin boots that are currently my designated winter house boot. And they are certainly in the running for most comfortable footwear made. If not exactly stylish.
Thanks Stefan. I think these big mouton collared coats were designed to go with fedoras.
Ha ha, thanks Stefan. That was the first time wear for the red coat.
That Champ is amazing, Stefan. All of your choices are great, but that one is the winner.
My main go-to when not in more formal work attire. Simple, black, semi-stingy, brim up. I have three of these type hats now (this one is a newer Stetson), and keep one at work, one in my black Caddy and one in the hat room.
I have a lot of hats - most more formal - and love ‘em all, but this by far is my most comforting. Like a favorite pair of jeans you could say. Guess it’s just my style. And that’s good enough for me!
Enjoy!

I love the ribbons on the Champ and Adam, they make a statement. That Gulaela is grand! Looks like excellent felt.
It is subtle, but I see it. Beautiful hat all around!
Embrace the Stingy Mike! I like it. Looks like some pretty nice, supple felt for a modern Stetson.My main go-to when not in more formal work attire. Simple, black, semi-stingy, brim up.

Perfect shirt for that Sage Knox. Marines don't call it O.D. (Olive drab) do they, kind of an Army term?
You slay me Jim! Love the Demon!Apologies to Juice Newton.
Just call me Demon of the morning, (Demon)
Just crease my crown before you wear me, baby

Stunning Daniele, extra extra stunning!
Dandy looking OR Perry.
Maybe you could "borrow" one from Bob for a look see. I really desire one of these swoopy old timey derbies. This one is sooooo cool!
So minty fresh looking Eric. Just a beautiful hat, easy on the eyes.
You are right on, in 1911 most often a Derby, everyone had one. And a boater for summer wear!What hat would YOU be wearing if you lived in NYC 107 years ago in 1911? I'm leaning towards the Bowler. Cool historical video clip. Everyone wore hats then men, women, & children.

Super looking color on that OR Michael. I really dig that red coat!
Incredible hat, modest only in the eyes of maybe Joao. I have often wondered the origins of Stetson's use of "the Fray"? Webster defines as " a usually disorderly or protracted fight, struggle, or dispute Fighting there could easily draw neighboring nations into the fray." Could it be an "old West" reference? It keeps me up a night wondering...
Best of luck on this one Doug! I can only imagine how you impressed them with this beautiful Stetson.
Damn, that is such an impressive hat Max! Brim for miles and it just glows.
One of my favorite derbies around here Matt. Cool vent grommet. Tight brim.
Love that brim treatment Ken. Nice Borsalino, pity about the size debacle. I find that my Borsalinos all run a little small, but a 61!
Nice tip about the oil treatment. Sure is a nice looking weave on this Adam, so cool about the old vintage.Hey everyone!
Thanks for the appreciation of yesterday's Adam. I was going to wear another Homburg today, but it is just too nice of a day for felt. So, another Adam, this one I believe is late 30's.
The coconut oil treatment for the dry straw seems to be a long-term fix. The brim is as supple as can be, and the faint smell of stale coconut oil is now gone.
Have a great day!

Are these British HJs a quality hat? Sure looks nice and well made. Love the color Brent.
Nice resurrection Max. Tell us, what techniques did Ignacio use on the moth nibbles? Nice looking tip logo, a bonus.
Sandpaper, Mike. Progressively finer, until the nibble is gone or imperceptible. If they are so deep the felt would get too thin, he just sandpapers the felt until the nibble is shallower.
That's what I get for being lazy! You came through for me again Alan. I'm such a geek, I had to know!
