Welcome, sir! Nice intro!

 

[Pellie]

Oh, that is VERY nice, Marcel!!!

Thanks Mark!!

Thank you kindly! Wasn't easy to get a Stetson Open Road in Denmark. With import taxes it was around $600, but I had always been dreaming of one.
I live just outside Copenhagen but went across Sjælland for the Christmas lunch. You familiar with the area?

Ja. I've often been on that line on my way to family in Rørvig.

I live in Helsingør btw.

Now THAT is one unique-looking hat, Joe!! Kudos on the shaping job!

Thank you Mark!

Like the colours and the contrast, Marcel. Nice one.

The other day I was on Ebay & I spotted this poor old hat all folded up in this little box. I had never heard of the maker but a quick Google search told me Hardeman made hats from 1909 until 1954.
For 14.99 I took a chance...what the heck. When the hat arrived yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to find that with a little steam to get the brim in shape and a good brushing it was good as new ! The hat has a silvery-blue hue to it as does the 7/8" grosgrain ribbon. I really like the reedless sweatband and the stitching on the brim edge is a nice touch too. I peeled the sweatband back and if I read the label correctly this is a Hardeman Super Quality Cruiser model.

Great find, Timmy. Always satisfying to see them come to life with just a bit of steam.

Rogers-Peet Trivley by Mac Lachlan passed on to me by our friend Brent some time back. I like to keep this one shaped in my attempt at the ace deuce trace - X crease.

Lovely hat, Joe. Still have to get used to that crease though.

Very nice, Rob. Can't go wrong with a stratoliner.

Gorgeous felt in that one. Vintage I assume? With new leather band?

Thanks. Vintage with original leather band as far as i know. Late 50's, early 60's.

Wow! If it wasn't for the liner it would be impossible to tell that the hat isn't just five to ten years old.

A warm 65 degrees with pretty decent thunderstorm and rain to start the day... Cold front on the way later today (freezing by nightfall) possibility of some snow Thursday. Going to be a really chilly week coming up. This time of year East Texas is entertaining... a light snow flurry and "OMG the worlds coming to an end!" and the grocery shelves are emptied lol. I fondly remember some of the mornings up in the Pacific Northest waking up to 18-20 inches of heavy wet snow dumped overnight. Guess Ill be transitioning into the Akubras for a few days.

Today we have one of the "Sad, Filthy, Crushed Ebay Mutts" going out for errands. Have it pretty well cleaned up and actually lookng like a hat again. Nothing inside except for the size tag so I really dont know what it originally was. Just a simple Royal Stetson with a shorter 2-1/4" brim. Brim still has a bit of a mind of its own, so there will be a bit more steaming and ironing. But it fits well enough, and has a short enough brim to be a good windy weather hat

looking

The Tonak Jota is a striking colour Stefan, but I do keep getting draw back to The Mallory. You make Sunday's such an enjoyable problem.

Sunday, being Sunday, is always what my late mother-in-law described as: Best bib & tucker day.
Fox Tailoring made the suit. former Lounger Simon Cathcart did the shoes and John B, The Sovereign.
Nearly overlooked the credit that Tina made the spearpoint collar shirt.

Thank you, Robert. Glad to see you Sunday best got to see some sunshine. Perfection as always.

Thanks Stefan! This is the third one of the Raw Hide Felts (a Byer-Rolnick product) that I’ve handled and I really like them. Fortunately two of the three fit me.

I’m going to have to go with the “Cowboy” with your offerings this week.
