Panos, Great to see that one in action. I was never able to wear it due to the size. You wear it well!

 

[mayserwegener]

A stellar hat, Steve.

Stefan, Thanks again! Fantastic series of hats from you today. The Howlison Stiff Felt is a real beauty with the form, color and tight brim work.

C & K "Eiderdown". I think Anthony said it was 1930s, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, it is one of my faves. Light as air.

Great start!
Unless you’re prepared to replace the sweatband I’d not manipulate it, steam it, or perspire much on it. Stetson’s sweatbands of the period are not very good...I’ve had several shrivel like cheap bacon when exposed to moisture.

welcome onboard!

Thanks deadly , the band is fine atm and will “baby” it unless I chose to replace it.

im a long time lurker I have a many hats from Gorins , christy bowler, but recently started to take it more “ serious” and educate myself

stylemaster and premier stratoliner are in constant rotation

Got a Penman last year and have Tumwater on order

Late afternoon walkabout in another thin ribbon Stratoliner. This is the first vintage Stratoliner that joined my hat tree. Lovely hat that has gotten plenty of wear.

Cheers for thin ribbon Sunday at my house.

Give Gannon and Wolfbrae a look too. Wolfbrae is great as his hats are a bargain since he’s just starting out. Gannon...I don’t think you can do much better even if you’re willing to pay four times his price.

After the weather in Tampa last night delivered the first severe weather delay in WrestleMania’s 37 year history. Tonight the weather threaten to be no better but let up in time. With WrestleMania taking place at Raymond James Stadium the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the appropriate hat it seems would be @Short Balding Guy Stetson Buccaneer. However without Eric’s fine hat in my collection I went to the next best thing. Stetson Musketeer. Cheers!

Love that ribbon Blare , great hat !!

Thin ribbon Sunday continues at my house.

Raking around some shrubs found me wearing a vintage Stetson Stratoliner with a 2 1/2" brim. This hat shows some patina on the felt and has a bit more "sahara" hue to it. Hard, sweaty work and I dried the sweat, treated it and brushed the hat. It is sitting on a block drying out.

Holy moly it was breakfast time. I grilled buffalo for tacos and caramelized some pears and topped with ricotta cheese. I switched to a vintage Stetson Stratoliner for my grill work. I am staying with silverbelly felt hues for breakfast.

My wife remarked that the hats are the same. I nodded and said they are only a bit different. This was an avoidance of the question of how come I need 2 hats that are "nearly" the same. Once the breakfast tacos and carmelized pears were on the table all discussions of hats evaporated. The meal was terrific.

Cheers on a thin ribbon Sunday, Eric -

I enjoy hearing about the menus almost as much as seeing the hats. You are truly living your best life Eric! (We need more Horatio pics though)

Celebrating 24 years (actually 23 years, 363 days, but Tuesday is a work day). Etsuko in her Hornskov...
...and me in my new-to-me 1960’s Huckel - the last of our hats from @Daniele Tanto - and my personal favourite.

Happy (early) Anniversary Gary and Etsuko! Ours is coming up in a couple of weeks.

Thank you, Brent! I have been a little distracted lately. It will pass.
