It has been a minute! Lots of personal stuff and business stuff have captured my time. I have tuned in on rare occasions the past months and have really enjoyed the hat and cap sharing. While I have not tuned in and shared, I have continued to wear my hats/caps.

Cheers to all the posters on this thread! Great hat parade!

Let me correct my lack of sharing with a post. Below are some hats I wore the past week.


PHD. Spring 2026 I ordered this with "venting," 3" brim and a larger crown (extra 1").

I'm sure, the small Top hat with the crown is indeed the Logo of Ernst - Köln
and has nothing, or at least not primarily, to do with the manufacturer. Here are two examples with the combination of Ernst and the Logo - but without a connection to Mayser:

However, we do indeed have many Mayser hats that were sold by Ernst and bear the logo on the front. Ernst was a top outfitter and sold very high-quality hats, hence the many Mayser hats. There may even have been an exclusive contract for some product lines, as we are also familiar with the inscription "Custom-made for Ernst, Cologne".

Here is my example:

Matt, Super detective work! Yes, many Ernst Köln Mayser branded hats.

The Stetson Twenty Texan, tell you what Stefan, that Stetson tops out your jacket, shirt and tie exquisitely. Fabulous!

Gamble & Gu-nn was today's choice for church, along with Fox Tailoring for the blazer.
