What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Frunobulax]

Well, I guess this was busting out day. Twenty-eight years around the sun with the same woman called for something.

So, not only out of the house, but - rebels that we are - we left the state.

Short trip over to Indiana to poke around some antique shops, then dinner at one of our favorite Italian restaurants in Richmond.

It was so f#*@ing awesome to have a normal day. This unlined Resistol was a perfect companion for a warm May day.

28 years? What the hell was I thinking?!!

Bill has won the Best Dressed Man of the Week on many occassions.

I'm pretty sure we've just found the best dressed man in Texas AND Oklahoma!

I'm sitting here in a black Stetson Downs (which is pretty stylish) and an old grey sweatshirt with a hole in it.
It's just terrible.

That’s how a homburg is supposed to look. I like the wider brim, and the colors really work well together.

It was a size 60 when I bought it, so that when Ignacio resized it it ended up with 1/8 of an inch more. Every size you change you either gain or loose 3 mm. I have a lot with experience with that!

Fantastic, Steve. Looks like a substantial velour. Great colour and sheen on that one.

Stefan, Thank you! Yes this one is very dense. One more coming. Super to see a Goldsiegel! It's a great looking Homburg! The Goldsiegel mark goes way back.

Steve, the 30's German hats really catch my eye. The proportions are the "bees knees."

Eric, Thanks! I have one more on the way. As usual great hats and posts from you! I really like the settings / backgrounds you come up with! Keep them coming!

 

[mayserwegener]

The picture really brings the craftsmanship part of hat making to life. Excellent "daily" pic. Thanks for your sharing.

Eric, Thanks again! This is one of my favorite production photos.

 

[mayserwegener]

Yes I can imagine extremely labor intensive

Joe, Yes very labor intensive with many processes / steps.

This week I will feature various shades of Grey German and Austrian Velours. Most will be from the 1930s.

This is my final entry of the series.

"NEUHEIT / Novelty" "SPITZENKLASSE / Top Class" "EXTRA FEIN / Extra Fine", mid 1930s. No paper label or company mark but the Dark Stone Grey Velour is really fantastic and in great condition. The Velour is light weight and pliable with a high degree of gloss. The hat has a very unique liner design with reed piping. Overall a really great looking hat, at least in my opinion .

Very unique / hypnotizing liner design. Also nice color matching with the Velour.

Here you can see the reed that has broken through the Liner piping.

Beautiful like all of yours, Steve.
Hey, do you know what company manufactured hats with this logo? I am sure I have seen it before, but can't place it. I think it's French.

Nice hat David. I enjoy your photos that take us along on your daily trips down to the shore. They always make me think of the Colin Hay song.... Beautiful World

My, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like swimming in the sea
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)
I like swimming in the sea
