Happy New Year to all. Grateful for TFL and all the kindness I’ve found on here. Been wearing my early dress hats lately and enjoying them very much so. Just when I think I’m ready to sell, my mustache and soul patch combo convinces me otherwise. Here’s my Stetson Excellent Quality (as previously posted)

That is a beautiful hat! Great shape to it and classic colours.

Reaching back to New Year's Eve eve, after a week of wear, the black CD is conforming nicely. View attachment 392615

Later that day a J.C. Penney Marathon.

No pics for NYE, though we went for Italian and i wore a nice 3X, and yesterday, where I was a slug and never got off the sofa. NYE earlier in the day this non-spec Playboy accompanied the dog and me for a walk.

Lastly, today for mass, 2022 rode in like a Demon (Hanover).

All very nice, Jim, but I really like the colours on the Penney.

Fabulous line up Stefan. Love the 3X

Thanks, Joe. Mark @M Hatman kindly traded that one with me. I miss his posts of ephemera.

combined with a wonderful Borsalino Homburg according to the occasion:

Happy New Year to all loungers and stay healthy!

Fabulous, Matt. I think only Fabio @fabiovenhorst can match you there.

The food looks great! My maternal grandmother used to do a full spread too. I can only manage the ozoni and oden from a pack at the Japanese market. It was so hectic when I was doing my shopping that I forgot the kuromame. I always grab some tazukuri though, most of the rest of my family was not so hot on it, so I ate a lot of it growing up.



I've been wearing my refurb 7xCB. We've had a few real windy days here, and it actually blew straight off my head that day I was in Japantown. Thankfully it's no worse for the wear.

a day late, but Happy New Year's loungers!

Glad to hear the hat was safe, Jared

We went to Hatsumōde (the first visit to a shrine in the New Year) yesterday. View attachment 392692

Very nice, Perry. Perhaps we should make this the year of the black hat!

Wow, Rick. That looks the part alright. Great colour.

Thank you, Daniele. I don't actually know if Mossant was the maker of that one, but it is very similar to the castor Mossant Sools I have.

A bit late on this post. Yesterday morning it was 16 degrees Fahrenheit. Which was a huge change from the Saturday which was in the mid 70s. Anyway, the wife brought out a fur so I did the same. I chose my longhair Dalton for services.

A quick question. The sweatband is stamped "genuine beaver". So I would assume a beaver blend? Or should I be thinking beaver only?

Gorgeous hat, Bill. Interesting to see the "controlled brim" imprint. I recently posted this Courtney I got from Panos @PanosChris and commented the felt reminded me of my Dalton. It has the same imprint on the sweatband, so Dalton could well be the maker. Maybe Jim @Frunobulax , as our resident Dalton expert, knows if other hats have this imprint as well.

Shoot, that's a toughie. I'd guess it's all beaver, but wouldn't bet the house on it.

As with the one you posted, the "Controlled Brim" is a Dalton patent, so I'm thinking your Courtney is a Dalton, too. They seem to have made some hats for others - my wife owns one that has a "by Dalton" imprint.

I wore my least favorite hat today. I have regulated this modern Stratoliner to yard work duty. I really love the modern Stratoliner’s, but the black ribbon treatment on the walnut kills me. I had to dig/trench new electrical wire for yard lights. I must say while my Stratoliner got dirty, it earned respect from me. It has some sweat stains, I mean character. After a quick brushing, it received more wear time while walking our dog.

Have a blessed and safe evening.

Steven

Looks like a hat that gets the job done Steven Earning that respect

Took a little hike, only a 1/4 mile or so, this evening to check on a friend's property and feed their barn cats while they are away. Its totally snowed in and really beautiful and peaceful out there right now. My new Vintage Mallory is really growing on me.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Snow removal this morning wearing my Gannon Wanderer (steel gray beaver with charcoal trim).

A bakery run for fresh bread and half and half. A pre-40's Borsolino was my hat of choice.

Outside chores in a Mackinaw cap.
