Hope you're well friends.

Nice. I love a good velour hat!!

A while back, I started a thread called How a Felt Hat is Made. Either in the first set of articles or the second, Stetson articles it discusses how hats are pulled out of the normal assembly line process to be turned into velour hats and they are processed differently. If you're interested, you just have to search until you run across this information. I'm thinking it might be in the Stetson articles but I'm not sure.
In either case, it's not going to be in one of the first pages, but at least several pages into it before they discuss velours.

Thanks. I will try to find it.

Evening gents,

Loving everyone's style today.
On the menu today was an amaxing purple fedora from Lembert. Stumbled across this one a while ago. Love the colour and the finish. One of my favourite hats, despite its quite humble appearance, internally at least.
Sleek, soft and a truly striking tone.

One of my favorite Open Roads this morning... A 3x I'm pretty sure is from 50s. Always a thrill to find a 70 some year old hat in this condition

Starting to cool a bit (again) here in Florida and I went with this Cavanagh today. I had been trying to get a hat from this retailer, for quite some time, and that it is as beautiful as this one, is a bonus.

I'm pretty sure the Stetson dating thread has those square tags in the early/mid 60s. Late 50s had the keyhole with full integer like the one you just won and posted in the other thread. Still a nice looking hat though, and in such great shape!


I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think those 3X felts were a fantastic price/quality ratio.

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

This morning my dog soirée was enjoyed under the brim of a Stetson Sovereign Twenty (sage felt). Lovely felt and brim treatment.

I meandered about sipping coffee wearing a Stetson Buccaneer. Very cool brim treatment. The spiral stitching is excellent.

I started some yard chores wearing a Gannon Wanderer (whiskey beaver felt). During shores the trees shed water and it beaded up on the felt.

Cheers, Eric -
