Echt Velour "Quality Velour Seal" possibly made by Friedrich Steinberg Hermann & Co. Hat Factory Luckenwalde and possibly late 1930s early 1940s. Also in NOS condition.

Super cool again. Very nice unique bow treatment. Is that what they call a swing bow?

I like the Tom and Jerry best. Mine is not as nice. Taking Tom and Jerrys that are nicer than mine out of the American continent ought to be illegal. [emoji2]

I have been doing the same thing for years, Joao. Recently, I started working holiday coverage for the post office... 4:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Hell on earth is a fit description for the hours and work involved there. Maybe if I was 15 years younger I would tolerate it better.

The upside is, I get up at 3:00 a.m. to get ready for work, which is around the time I used to be wide awake anyway. Then I come home dog tired, eat something and crash so I can do it all over tomorrow.

Now if I can do something about the odd need to get up and go to the bathroom every 2 hours.....

Getting old sucks!
I don't work that many hours but the stress of failure is too much.
Things didn't run as fast as today, people pays less and less attention as they want it now making impossible to check all details and because of that the risk of failure increases more and more.

That Commander has such a great shape Jim. The brim binding is just the right contrast.


After just reading all the Vita Felt threads here on the lounge today I noticed this one back when you first posted it in the old days. That liner is just spectacular. One of my favorites of yours (of course I'm drawn to vita felts this week)


All fine hats Stefan. Hog away! The Battersby color of "metal" is interesting, must be bronze? Looking forward to the Lupo comparison.


I do like that Steel color. That ribbon color is a nice contrast, very beautiful. This one appears to have a lower crown than a lot of Gannon's floating around here. Is it from the crease you put in?


Very sporty and furry at the same time Max. Love this one.


Sharp look for running around today Doug! Nice color of that tweed jacket.
Thanks, Mike. You need a bit more patience for the velours comparison : the jury is still out on wether or not the sun came up at all today!

Today Saint Lucia brought me a present too (a bit later than Daniele, but his behaviour was probably better:)). And what a present it was too! More on that later. Wore two of them today.

Sools (maître chapelier). This one is meant to be worn like Alan wears his hats.

Borsalino lobbia (no label inside the hat, could be palladio or argento colour)

First winter freeze of the year. There will be a 45 minute delay in opening the course, so all the early bird golfers are waiting in the locker room. If you step on the grass when it's frozen, you can hear the blades of grass breaking.
Silverbelly Optimo today.

Locker room? I don't see a bunch of sweaty old men in towels in this view... Great looking SB Max.
