Great lines on that one Stefan. Embrace the Black Hat.....

 

[Hagwood]

Third hat from the Stefan batch. An Oldham and Fogg Bowler. One of the Manchester area hat makers based in Hyde and established in 1864.

Sits so nicely atop my bald head. Lovely feel to the felt, nice overall shape and dimensions. I think this is going to be one of my favourite Bowlers. View attachment 232586 View attachment 232587 View attachment 232588 View attachment 232589

Great looking Bowler Steve !!

My most worn hat...and you know ‘roo leather means outdoor cooking. Jerk ribs coming up at the pit in a few hours time.

Been outside all day in a semi beater Stetson straw, working on cars, the motorcycle, flowerbeds and sprinkler heads. Straw is in great shape, but the sweat is a little rough.









Ran over something on the bike that ruined my tire I just replaced in the Fall, so already have to get another one. Went with a little more aggressive one for the twisties.

Had some fun with the old tire before replacing it.

That sure is some felt there Steve

Joe, Thank you!

Joe, Thank you!

Did you see this afternoon's post from The Millinery Warehouse? They are offering rabbit felts from Ukraine. So it does exist!!!

A vented montecristi for today. It started out as a Montecristi Custom Hat Works that needed a bit of restoration. I sent it to The Northwest Hat Co and Mike did his magic.

Yesterday and today’s straws of your’s are two of my favorites, Bill.
Both beautiful weaves and great proportions on you. Super shirts too.

Attaboy Tim. Looks like you had that cookout after all.

This week I will feature J. Hückel´s Söhne Soft Felt Hats. J. Hückel´s Söhne was nationalized as Tonak after 1945.

This is my final entry. I thought I go with this unique hat that I haven't posted in a while.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Standard" "Loden", Back Bow, Point 6, Crown 6 inches Open, Brim 2 1/2 inches, NOS condition possibly later 1930s. There could be wool in the mix based on the "Loden" designation. The felt is very pliable and easily takes a dry crease. The finish could be considered “Flamand” which is unshorn Velour hair. The form has a very late 1920s look with a Curled Over Welt Brim. Great looking gold stamping on the Crown Tip Patch and Laced Sweatband.

J. Hückel´s Söhne Neutitschein Factory, Horse Drawn Wagons With Cargo Being Loaded On Train, possibly late 1800s.

Big Mexican palm straw hat, with a Guatemalan beaded band, a Guatemalan rainbow colored shirt, and a basic black cloth mask of West Virginia design on the Masked Corona Crawl today. Lots of folks out strolling along the coastal path through town this evening, very few wearing masks, but the curve is flat here. I hope it stays that way.
May you all be happy, peaceful, and safe.

Oldham and Fogg, now that is a name that just sounds like an old hat company!!! Looks great, Steve.

Love the neutral color on that one Steve. Nice dimensions and it looks pristine.

Nice Jim. I love the red brim binding.

My new modern Stetson straw for a work hat...if I don’t sell it soon.
I’ve got another one coming that might make a better work lid.

It is useless to tell you that I follow you almost every day, you know that we share the same passion for hats.
How needless to tell you that I know this is the wrong place to put a cap and not a hat
Today is the first day of half freedom and I celebrated it by spending my morning at the dentist
Hopefully better tomorrow
