You’ve got to be the most stylish highway junkie on them roads! Well done, brother!

Thanks brother. And thanks for the song - I actually listened to the whole album and liked it a lot!

Greetings one and all! Thought I grabbed my VS in “sand” tone, but when I arrived, I found I was wearing the Mallory. HA!

Good morning hat folks. Thanks for sharing. I have enjoyed the hat parade this morning.

Here are some hats I have worn the past couple days.

A Stetson 3X Mode edge fedora.

A Stetson Bantam.

A Champ Supreme.

A VS Wandere (granite beaver felt).

A Knox Twenty.

A Stetson Stratoliner. Not all Stratoliners are the same. This fedora has a 2 7/8 " brim. I crease the crown "high" to match the brim width.

A VS Wanderer (silverbelly felt).

A Manson gilled felt (blue felt).

Cheers, Eric -

I have been to see Chris Knight twice within the last year right in your backyard at a place called Rocket City Honky Tonk. Glad you enjoyed it!

Hückel "Wien" possibly mid 1950s. The Felt is very light in weight, almost tissue like. I am not sure the source of this one. It could be an early Hückel Weilheim or possibly from Hückel & Co. Wien (a mystery). i tend to think it's an early Hückel Weilheim. The Sweatband seam is taped which I haven't seen before with a Hückel Weilheim Soft Felt. Unfortunately Hückel Weilheim didn't use paper labels possibly due to trademark issues with Tonak. I found this Homburg Hat back in 2023.

Hückel Weilheim Advertising Pocket Mirror Match Holder. Unfortunately the match heads had to be removed for shipping. Possibly from the 1960s. Found this back in 2014.

He’s from somewhere in Kentucky. Can’t remember the name of the town.

Slaughters, KY
He lives in a trailer on 90 acres or he used too. Hes a great songwriter. I personally like his voice but it is a little on the raw side.

Yep, I couldn’t think of the town. I like his song writing and context. It’s relatable to me. I find his voice very raw and I like it! The two times I’ve seen him live, an artist named Mic Harrison has opened up for him and he’s good too.
