Wormser

[quikrick]

Cool little Wormser, stingy bound brim with a tight-ish curl on the brim.
Homburg wannabe!

This was the collect end of another hat-exchange. This one with Gary (@Dotneck ) who couldn't get this one to fit him. He was kind enough to trade it with me.
Wormser Royal Luxury in let's say "chalk". Size 7 with the bound brim at 6,5cm and the crown 10,5cm at the center dent. I wasn't all that impressed with my first Wormser, but this one makes more than up for it. Gills too! I picture this hat would be the result if my Caxton and Dobbs Hanover Square had a love baby. It's a glorious hat!

Wormser 3X Beaver: 6” open crown and 3” raw edge brim. The glued in liner has a plastic covering, and there were no tags behind the sweatband. Without knowing much about the brand, the overall feel of the hat is 1970s.

Wormser Genuine Monako “Showerproof.”
This is, to me, an unusual hat. It is not really straw, I don’t think, but some type of coated fiber in a loose weave.

The 2 1/4” brim snaps, and the crown is rigid with a nicely proportioned slope from 4 3/4” front to 3 7/8” back. It has a linen-type liner with a satin tip that runs the length of the crown.

Ribbon was badly stained and wouldn’t stand up to vigorous cleaning; it will have to be replaced.

That ribbon is SWEET!!!! DO NOT REPLACE!!

All you need to do is simply soak it in warm water and OXYCLEAN......NO agitation.....cold water rinse....hang dry.....I have saved a LOT of ribbons that way.......
OR
Just send the ribbon to me and I will put it to good use. VERY GOOD USE!!

Yes, I do like the ribbon - it’s one of the things that attracted me to this hat. Thanks for the tip. Maybe I can save it.

Did you try the Oxyclean??
Curious how that might have worked.

No, I fully intended to but life got in the way.

I am finally getting my wormser posted, it's the only stingy I own. It usually gets head time during the fall/winter when it's mostly overcast. Brim is 1 3/4" with a folded over/stitched edge and 4 1/4" crown as pinched. Dense felt and easily moldable.
