Master Biltmore
Light weight soft lighter brown felt
Approx 4 3/4 Crown as Shaped (about 5 1/2 Open)
Just under 2 3/4 brim with bound edge
3/8 Chocolate brown grosgrain ribbon

Third hat from the Canada stack I chose because I really just want to wear it tonight. The Master Biltmore really only needed a good brushing to get rid of dust and cob webs. What a beautiful color scheme… I’m almost hesitant to describe the felt color as it changes so much in light. A light brown.. maybe pecan color that shifts darker indoors and the ribbon and brim binding a darker brown color. In some light it gives off an almost heathered look. The hat is unlined… though it may have once hat a liner. It is styled in Stratoliner/Open Road fashion. Considering the very soft lighter weight felt I’d lean more toward Strat. I just have not come across many TAR in this color way so I am very happy with this hat!

Back home in Denmark now after a really nice Christmas break in England.

Decided to wear my recently acquired early to mid 1930s G.B. Borsalino Fu Lazzaro.

Soon be a new hat collecting year. Here's hoping for a good one for one and all!

Did I miss your call when you were in England? Ah well, perhaps next time! Tomorrow the lovely Tina & I will be welcoming 2023 at The Pavilion in the popular coastal town of Bournemouth.

So, not being able to be around tomorrow evening, (I know that you can get the internet on your phone, well you can, this dinosaur is still in the rotary dial era,) You don't believe me, do you?

So, now's the time to say, (should this be in the WTF Hats thread?)

Sadly, Robert, my sister lives in Herefordshire, close to the border of Wales, look you now.

Would have been great to have seen you though if I'd been somewhat nearer.

I'm wearing another of my hat creations this a.m. This one started out as a way too small Resistol Stagecoach in Bark Brown. This is another one that a generous Lounger gave to me. I converted this one and blocked it up two sizes larger. It now sports a 5 3/4 open crown that's creased to my preferred deep Tear drop. The brim is 2 5/8 wide that's been flanged on a #19 brim flange. I also gave the hat a brushed finish. My ribbon and bow work is black at 1 1/2 inches wide...

Before:

Trimmed to 2 5/8:

Everyone can use a brown fedora in their collection.

Do you know? I look at Terry's image with that magnificent hat and, as the French might describe, I think: Ooh la la! It truly is magnificent, how I love it!

I went to the car wash wearing one of my brown w/black ribbon 50’s Stetsons (I like that color combination on my narrower brims). While there I got out of my Jeep and immediately broke my hip on the ice. Total hip replacement tomorrow morning.

The hat never fell off and I never even thought about it until the ambulance ride where the paramedics were saying they liked it.

Anyway y’all be careful out there if you’re in a colder climate. Ya never know.

That's some serious bad luck, Gary. Wish you a speedy recovery!
