Quite a parade Stefan! Hard to pick a favorite.

Today....it’s a black Premiere Strat, circa 2014. Actually a nice attempt at revisiting the golden years of vintage Strats. Makes me want a vintage black one.
Be well. Bowen

That would be quite a find, but this modern is nice looking. Interesting ribbon treatment.

Yes, I have a lot of catching up to do. The remodel did come to an end, but so did my back. Blew it out moving back in (probably a box of books), then off to limp around New Orleans. I have some great images to post in that thread. The hat room is basically the same, just more organized.

Wow! I want a hat room like that, Mike. Congrats. Hats, books, and theatre. I think we have a thing or three in common [emoji4].
Hope your back gets better soon.

Thanks Red. Yeah, the ribbon always gets comments. Came like that from the seller...Matt Deckard.

A Frankenliner?

If only my hat room was this organised! Very nice, Mike. Thanks for the like on the hats; it's a joy to be able to pick out any hat from the collection and know it's going to be a nice one.

A Frankenliner?

Ha ha! Good one Jack!
Think it’s actually his Proto-Liner.

You took to it like a duck to water, Max. After only a year your collection is more than impressive. Congrats!

Thank you, Stefan!

Way old indeed... and way wonderful.

The Stetson standard was finished to a very high standard.

Janyška "Praga" possibly late 1940s. This hat is from my May 2016 Czech rind.

Very inventive logo!

Steve, wonderful Homburg with a super cool logo. Is it black or midnight blue in colour?

Steve, Thank you! Yes really great logo. It's black so probably just the lighting.

 

[mayserwegener]

Steve; You have showcased some wonderful hats of late. I particularly enjoy today's hat with the wonderful swoop profile shape, accouterments and the accompanying article link. Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing your passion.

Best, Eric -

Eric, Thank you! Same back to you!

 

[mayserwegener]

Beautiful, Steve. Quite a deep flange in the back there.

Stefan, Thank you! Yes a bunch of brim flange. Super series of hats from you today. They are all fantastic but especially great to see the unique Eres - Kent and Birsalino Gulaela.

Steve, thank you. You're keeping up with the parade of cool European hats so far. Not a repeat yet!

Vintage Stetsonian today to run errands with the wife.

 

[Michael A]

Love the finish on that porker. Good to see you.

Thanks Red. It does have a pretty stellar finish. Good to see you back.

Been out of the loop for a while. I miss the hatlove, discussing it with the wife is just not the same. Have some new hats to get posted. In an exchange with the Holland Connection I came up with a wonderful heather finish homburg. This Wilson (English manufacture) is a dream. The felt is supple and clay like. The liner reads like a book. Lots to love about this one. I've got to take some detail photos and post it (catching up!) I wore it to rehearsal for the play I'm stage managing last night. I'll be getting out the black hats for a few weeks though. I'm thinking it may be early 1950s.

And what a nice hat to make your comeback with. That is a beauty.

Nice hat,Michael. Can you elaborate a little more on that porkpie’s story. Style-Rite?

Can't really tell you anything about Style-Rite Haven't been able to find any info. I know someone here posted a Beaver 20 by them a few years ago. I found this one at my favorite vintage store here in town. It's a nicely made hat with a sewn in pleated liner and great finish.

Sharp Dressed Man as always Michael!!! A great match with the get up outfit!!

Wear it Well!

Thanks Rodney. I passed on this one a few times over the winter. Glad I finally decided to get it. Has a great sheen in the sun.

It would be sacrilege! The Stetson looks nice too, but the Marathon and suede jacket is a winning combo, Michael.

Thanks Stefan. I decided to keep them both safe, but I think I will pull out that combo on one of these next cool days when nothing dangerous (hat wise) is planned.

Yesterday and today; multiple hat days.

You sure don't make it easy to pick a favorite. All great. I do love the binding on the Mallory, but the Rat Gondin looks like such a sweet felt.

Thanks all,
Michael
