Wow.. the Air Command is amazingYesterdays escapades in a Penny's Air Commander. It is an air force blue felt. In person it is a stunnng felt hue.
Lunch of Niku Soba Ramen.
Afternoon chores in a sage Stetson Whippet.
This mornings dog soirée hat was a Royal De Luxe Stetson. The leather sweat bands says De Luxe while the hat liner does not. This hat has great felt.
This is the first Stetson hat of this quality that does not have a matching liner reinforcing the quality to the owner. The sweat is original and the liner has factory sewing (or at least matches other Stetson hats and has the same characteristics).
Home and cooling down from my soirre wearing a Premier Stetson. Some mornings coffee tastes excellent. This morning is one such morning.
This hat was sold from Hurleys, NB, CN. It was included in the pre-1940's Canadian hats I picked that included a bunch of hats made by the Wolthausen factory. This glorious felt matches the in hand quality and characteristics of the Brick and Borsolino hats I picked up from the stock sold at that shop. Stetson had purchased that shop to get into the Canadian market. Excellent quality felt.
Having some breakfast on the deck while wearing a Knox Westlite. Certainly an aesthetic, but I do really like the sewn liner rear ribbon treatment of Knox hats. I think they are tidy and cool looking. The sweat and liner are Knox quality - higher than other hats at this historic price point. I admit this is my opinion, but the details draw my attention.
Cheers to all on this glorious Saturday morning, Eric -

Very nice.My brother talked me out the first one of these I had, but I found another one a couple of years ago. Resistol 10X Beaver, I’m guessing early to mid-‘60s or so, with felt that rivals anything Stetson was producing at the time, including their 100 grade Open Road hats. If you can find one, grab it.

Thanks Steve, much appreciated!Wonderful looking Wilke, Panos. Great herring bone coat and complimentary blue/grey tartan scarf ensemble, too.
Looks great! Enjoy.Arrived just in time for a nice night out to Dinner with my Grandmother!
First time shaping a hat, and haven't steamed anything in yet. I'm finding symmetry is much more difficult than everyone on YouTube makes it look, haha.

That’s a pretty spiffy grab and go, Bob! That’s a pretty cute hunting dog too. Just got watch out for those raptors when you put that puppy down to run.Me and the youngun braved the rain and wind to join Mom for a ride to the mailbox (it’s five miles away — I’m not that lazy).
Grabbed the grab-and-go Shudde Bros.
