Thanks Sonero. You can get the sweaters here, https://www.irishgiftsandsweaters.com/ Might be a bit warm for your area, but it served me well out on the bike on a windy day. Great look for you today with the Fed IV and towel and Firehose jacket. I have a pair of their Firehose pants and I could see the cloth doing very nicely for a hard wearing blazer.Love the sweater !
Wow! Impressive lid my friend. Looks like a pretty good weave from here.Another nice day here. I've been grabbing the Resistol Western Panama. With this brim we can block a lot of sun!
Nice Bowlerman. I totally dig that hat!I needed a change so I reverted the brim shape of my Falcon Park black cherry lords hat to the way Parker originally made it for me.
Enjoy your day!

Damn its good to see you Matt! And what a way to come up for air! That brim binding is truly interesting. All the bells and whistles!@Frunobulax "made" me buy this. It came yesterday.
He and I both thought it was a homburg from the pics on the eBay. It ain't.

Nice Max. Great color.Canadian Playboy today.

Wow! What a color! But isn't "Canadian Playboy" a contradiction in terms? Like Military Intelligence or Jumbo Shrimp?Canadian Playboy today.

I like this one a lot Brent! Great shape. I don't know how long Bee Hats lasted, think this might be 1960s?It’s well into the 90s here today so I don’t bad about wearing straw.

Oooooh I can't wait for this one! Black hats matter Terry!Wearing a gift from a fellow Lounger who wishes to remain anonymous. My thanks to him for the hat. This is a Culo Brutto Borsalino in black. It's my next project and is already on the block. The felt is real nice and the detailing is second to none. I'll be reusing the original ribbon work and brim binding. There's plenty of hat here to work with and it should make a very nice conversion. I'll be squaring up the crown from its previous very tapered form. It has plenty of open crown height, (somewhere between 5 3/4 and 6 inches tall), and a 3 inches wide brim. I'm not a black hat fan but I may make an exception with this one when I'm finished. I'll have more in the Conversion Corral when it's completed...
You look great in the XV! What shall we wear tomorrow?Great minds think alike, @Redfokker. At the dentis with a Mallory XV with Duplex Edge.
Let's see what Goofus and Gallant are up to...

Always good to see the Borden. I really like the color.Hey all!
The previously discussed Borden. I used a flange and hand shaping to put a curl back in the brim, but I think I'm lacking a technique and probably a tool or two to get the tightness back to the curl.
I was having bad luck getting decent pics, weird lighting today. Here's one that shows the brim a little better.
Have a great day!

Great look Michael. We still are not cool enough to justify a sweater, soon though...I was in an Irish mood for shopping this morning. Norm Thompson Original Irish Country Hat and Quill Woolen Market Aran sweater

Such a wonderful surprise! This is one high end looking Biltmore. Nice one D.Hey all. While I was rummaging around the hat room. I rediscovered this one which had been sitting in the box new and never worn for about 2 years. Pleasant surprise.

I thought this might have once been a Hommy, too, but nope.
These hats remind me a lot of a Stetsonian with the brim binding reversed.
That Tom Mix is something!They’re all great, João! Love the rolled brim on the first one
