A text came through a while back: "Are you two taking your MG to the classic car show?" A good friend of our's, who is a freelance photographer, was enquiring. He's a good friend and oh how he loves our hats, almost as much as our MG.

This is a local magazine that he does quite a bit of work for. Open it to the: Poole Goes Vintage page.

and whose that in the bottom left hand corner? I had no idea about it until a flurry of text messages came in from here, there and just about everywhere.

That is AWESOME, sir!!!!

Mayser "Spezial" possibly late 1950s. I had forgotten about this Homburg and the last time I wore it was at least 12 years ago. It's a really nice Homburg and in mint condition. Turns out it's pretty much the same Homburg as my recent Bochert Berlin W. Homburg find which was made by Mayser. The minor differences are the liner and sweatband types.

Mayser ashtray possibly about the same time period as this Homburg. The artwork is by Marga Trautloft - Mayser (1913-1998). I found this ashtray back in 2010.

The hat is gorgeous, and that ashtray is one of the KEWLEST pieces of hat-related advertising I've ever seen!

I'm going with a Gray Royal Stetson this morning. Nothing fancy about this hat and it's a bit smaller profile than some of my other Stetsons but I like it still.

That is a VERY good-looking RS, Timmy, and I think the size & proportions are wonderful.

If this article had left out this fabulous couple it would have most certainly been left wanting.

I don’t remember this one, Alan, and I should! Outstanding!!

Thanks Charlie. I remember seeing two of these in my years of looking - the other was from the collection of RLK. He had that one up for sale in the classifieds, I believe, quite a few years back.

More marching mightily along the Monday Milan mile, mates!
My Dobbs, probably from the 1970s.

Took a long while, but finally got a Stetsonian.
Worth the wait. Another addition in my favorite color!
OPS tag, so late 40s/early 50s, 2 7/8” silver 1/2” bound brim.
Haven’t even cleaned it yet, which means the prior owner well took care.
Perfect fit, too.
Been blessed with some fine collection worthy hats lately, and I’m very thankful.

You are such a gentleman, thank you.

What a compliment and just the boost we need, thanks Joe.

Why boost? Well, I don't want to hijack the thread, but I know that you admire Tina's sewing skills and her occasional appearance here, so I am asking: Please remember Tina in your prayers for both her and me.

Tomorrow, Tuesday 27th August, the lady will be having heart surgery. It's a procedure whereby the surgeon reaches the heart through a main artery. Google: "Heart Ablation" and you will understand. So, your prayers will be gratefully received.
