Still from the yesterday night photo shoot. Modeling for a photography class
The vintage Arno Weiske opera hat.

Thanks!

Off to work. Picked my Bailey Curtis Verdant Green. Going camping at Lake George. Going to the "World's Largest Garage Sale". There's a booth clearing out their hat supply. They say they have hats from $40, $60, and up for $15. We shall see.

Cool Charlie, I like the open crown.

Wow, what a rarity in that size. Unicorn!

The temperature dropped ten degrees in a day

So I can wear without problems the French felts arrived two days ago

Flechet without lining that had to be sold in West Berlin, but never reach the destination

Heather felt is soft and very malleable, it is deep grey with some pale grey and blue

As most of the France production of the last fifty years the ribbon is a little bit fancy, but interesting

Have a nice day and thanks for likes and appreciation

Love that finish and ribbon treatment. A quality hat for sure.

You're killin' me here! Awesome lid!

Very classy. Christophe. The more I see of these Mossant hats, the better I like them.

Thank you Stefan. This is one of my favourite hats with a light, grey blue felt. I have another one in a blue beaver, but the crown on that one is lower and slightly less boxy, more classically French in style compared to the taller American ones (which I favour) of the same era. Having said that, I find it is possible to find nice Mossant’s in France as the young people all want stingy brims it seems, the better for the likes of us [emoji3].

Charlie, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a real vintage 7 7/8. They usually turn out to be either size 6 7/8 or some dimension is 6 7/8 and the seller takes that for the hat size. This 3X is a stunner and the bash deserves some serious contemplation.

Took a chance on this on eBay and got lucky. Really sweet felt with one of the smoothest finishes I’ve laid hands on.
Apparently he was a custom hatter in the late 90a early 2000s. There are a couple of short threads on FL

The head shots are close to actual color

Wow, Chas, a real beauty! What else have you been holding back in your collection? Inquiring minds (jealous old curmudgeons...) want to know!

It’s well into the 90s here today so I don’t bad about wearing straw.

My first Felt, casual good for the trip to work and walking the dogs today. Still figuring my style, brim size etc. Thinking a Gray Fedora or downbrim is next.
