I pulled my blue Dobbs Gay Prince out of the box today. This hat has the softest and best feeling felt of any hat I own.

That peckham is sweet as a nut, as it goes! And those ones and twos are on top. Careful on the apples with that cane. Me favah uses one too and the apples can be a bit tricky.
I'm impressed, let's see if I can translate: Peckham is a suburb in South London, it's correct title being Peckham Rye. So for rhyming slang, Peckham Rye...........Tie.

One's & two's isn't too difficult they are worn on your plates, (of meat........feet.) So one's & two's are shoes.

Careful with the apples. Apples is probably the best known Cockney slang word, as in apples & pears.....Stairs.

Favah might have caused some head scratching. The general accent in Southern England pronounces Father as, "Farther." In Cockney the digraph, "th" gets pronounced like the letter "V" so Father becomes favah!

You missed the obvious one for a hat thread, my Sovereign would lose it's regal title and simply be known as a: Titfer. To translate that which is relatively easy you need to know that titfer is a corruption of two words. So Titfer becomes: Tit for tat............hat, which you wear on your Barnet, (Barnet Fair.....hair.) Or, if your are follicly challenged, on your loaf, (loaf of bread..........head.)

Enough now, later this morning I have an appointment at the Quacks. Mild pejorative meaning a fake or incompetent doctor or medical practitioner. It won't be a whistle that I wear though, more Callard & Grant.
Callard & Bowsers...........trousers. Grant Hackett.................jacket. For my titfer, I shall give the Sovereign another outing.

A morning walkabout in VS Wanderer (Art-light silverbelly).

A Mallory Eight-fifty was my brim for morning coffee. I am amused by the Eight Fifty on the sweat. Why stop at Eight Fifty? Go to Eight Seventy-five, Nine. I am amused this morning thinking about how the hat companies labeled and priced hats.

New fedora alert. Came in today.
First time in my country life being in vogue.
Literally and figuratively.
All I had to do was brush, flange and steam shape. Thin, light, nice felt that shaped up well, but needed a degree of skill.
I’d say the extra creamy felt color is more properly represented somewhere in between the topside and bottom photos. This Vogue has the orange and red reorder tags inside. Hand written price tag inside states the color is ivory, sold for $12.50 in 1951 if I’m seeing it right.
Very well pleased to be the caretaker of this fine old gal!

I’d say it’s extra creamy felt color is more properly represented in the topside photos, for once. This Vogue has the orange and red reorder tags inside. Hand written price tag inside states the color is ivory, sold for $12.50 in 1951 if I’m seeing it right.

Randall; Congrats sir! That is truly a show stopper hat. The felt is and condition put it over the top. I do love the liners two hues. Wear it with pride sir!


Cheers, Eric -

BTW: Here is a comparison I posted about a couple other Vogues - https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/side-by-side-hat-comparisons.65983/post-2747433 .
