I think we may have to declare this one the winner, Joe. It is a champ after all.

 

[Blare]

Really nice, Joe. Lightweight, unlined and a cool colour: what more could you want?

Thanks Stefan

Intermezzo in Italian week. Don't worry they will be there.

The Thibet (by Ecuyer&Thomas) got its first outing this week courtesy of the lousy weather. I've been a bit harsh about the felt of this hat; it is better than I gave it credit for at first.

Nice looking OR and liking the Bowler

I wore my Habig to work today. This has been a frustrating hat - slightly too big, my cone head hit the centre dent and pushed it up and there was a cloth sweat band stuck to the front of the leather sweatband. I took the advice of @daizawaguy and sprayed the felt and sweatband with water to get it to shrink. That worked ok but it made the brim wonky. I finally got around to steaming it the other day to smooth out the brim, at least to a somewhat satisfactory degree and while I was at it, I gave it a much tighter pinch. I also removed the cloth stuck to the sweatband. This damaged the leather, but not as badly as I thought it might. I also fiddled with the bash a little. Overall I’m pretty happy with this, the third iteration of this hat. I finally feel comfortable wearing it. View attachment 307422 View attachment 307423
Here’s how it came to me:

Unique in its styling, Michael. I like it.

I will give it that, Stefan. Certainly different than any other hat I have. Thanks.

Sounds like a plan, Michael. Make sure the hat is safe

I did brush the snow mostly off. Haven't checked on it to see how it dried.

Snow is predicted here the coming days. maybe it's time to find out where I left my ushanka! You're well covered, Michael.

Thanks Stefan. Can't beat the ushanka for cold weather wear. The forecast tells me I'll be wearing it a lot during the next week and a half.

Great looking bowler, Stefan. And good that you could finally scratch the OR itch. I am pretty sure it is the model I have the most of due to their former ubiquity in these parts.

Thanks,
Michael
