Man you really look sharp in that hat! The Stetson Royal De Luxe Stratoliner is just such a special model of the Stratoliner legacy. The ribbon treatment adds a bit of mystery and attractive difference. Sharp!

Back at you Brent, thanks for being a positive force on The Fedora Lounge over the years. Cheers to you sir.

Best to all, Eric -

Eric, this felt is incredible. It’s just about the perfect weight and molds like few others I’ve held. It’s an instant favorite: thank you again for your generosity.

Genuine Panama Fedora from Muse’s Atlanta
5 inch crown
2 3/4 brim
Very fine weave
Rich Burgundy Pug

This beauty finally arrived and I am really happy with it. It has the finest weave of any Panama I own… but by just a hair finer than The Colonel by Lamsom Hubbard. I love the crisp fedora styled blocking… and even though when the brim is up it kinda snaps to a very awkward high angle.. it snaps down with ease and holds a rather nice firm shape. The LH on the other hand doesn’t like to stay down and is a bit loose and bouncy. Just a different personality. I love the rich deep burgundy color of the puggaree. Tomorrow the travel mate in this duo deal!

Magnificent hat, Bill. Great shape and colour.

Well, in Northern Italy, we are in winter. Tonight the temperature dropped below 0 degrees C. on a clear night.
View attachment 383178 The sun and the cold greeted us this morning as I took these photos.

Borsalino Qualità Extra Superiore, the color of the felt is "Corteccia - Cortex", no indication on the color or material of thee ribbon.
View attachment 383180 It comes directly from the Sixties and is new, size 6 or 59 cm. 7 3/8 US
View attachment 383181
The felt is very malleable and the finish, as you can see from the photo taken above the crown, is slightly hairy.
We inaugurate with this Borsalino the brown-green hats in its immense variations.

I wish you all a happy Monday
Very nice, Daniele. The ribbon gives it that little extra.

Stetsons in black: they are there! Lovely hat, Perry.

Good morning.

Dare was won! One hat all day yesterday. I did chores, went for a long walkabout, 2 dog walks, cleaned up fire pit and cut some branches up. The hat with all the work my hat sweat needed to dry, have a small bit of leather conditioner added and a strong brushing. The brushing was from getting knocked on the ground, from tree branches, and brushing up next to the auto door seals. The brushing removed the soil (I could see). I am the winner! Ha, no triple dog dare can keep me from winning such an audacious task.

Tongue in cheek rant over - for this morning's dog soire I wore a Stetson Scoop. A stingy brimed 2.25" (5.715 cm) over welted hat. It is a silver gray hat (cool hue) that has terrificly maleable felt. The overwelt makes the brim stiff. I have seen advertising pics of this hat and it was worn brim down. I wear it as advertised. Just a fun and minty hat to wear.

A walkabout with a cup of coffee found me changing to a pre-40's Kensington. This "Super Fine Quality" hat was made in Brockville, Canada. The accurate light blue felt hue can be seen in the under brim pic.

Cheers, Eric -
Fabulous as usual, Eric. You have the hats others have only seen on ads.

J. Heinr. Ita Wien "Super" possible early to mid 1950s. I found this one back in 2009 and haven't worn in a long time.

There's no justice, Steve:). It should be worn more.

Blue is nice, but black works just as well for this one. Very nice, Joe.
