My first attempt at a hat-from-scratch. A Blue Monkey creation with a big blue sawtooth:

The would-have-been brim binding on this gave me serious grief after one too many re-stitches so I just trimmed a quarter inch off the edge and left it raw. The next blank comes tomorrow and I'm not calling it done until its edge is bound.

Nice lids, everyone!
Great looking Blue! Love the ribbon.

Stetson The Motor... one of those hats you buy for the typeface. A few have put-puttered onto the Lounge and there is a little thread dedicated to this moment in Stetson and automotive history here. I repaired tears in the felt forward and aft - tolerable job but keeps me from wearing this more often. It was nice to steam it up and get it out in the daylight today.

I totally agree about that typeface on the name. Very thin looking felt on that brim - zephyr breeze thin.

Today I come late to the parade of hats and some magnificent hats have already arrived at your eyes

Lobbia Borsalino color "Mirtillo"

It is bought used in Italy, it came in not very good condition

I made a small investment and has been restored in the States
Great work of Bob at BSHW

It's probably been sold before the Second World War in the countries of Eastern Europe.
The paper label is missing this increase the difficulty of dating this Lobbia Borsalino

Thanks for the likes on the grey Chamois Barbisio
Simply fabulous Daniele!

Stetson on this stormy Fat Tuesday. Heading out to find an indoor celebration.

Edit:Late post from an early pic. Can't imagine why that happened.
BB, I really like that hat a lot. Along with the Levine they are both excellent additions to your collection of late.

Hope you found a good indoor celebration! I know where I was at a good time was had by all!

Thanks for all of the "feel betters", etc. Slowly, but (hopefully) surely I'm on my way.

Starting the day under a Dobbs.

Finally... I'm not going to be posting (or checking in) for forty days or so (that's the goal anyway[emoji6]), but i will respond to PMs.

Until next time... Peace, love and all that hippie $#![. I'll miss you all.

Good to see you didn't forget your noggin cover today, Matt. You must have felt pretty bad yesterday. Nice Dobbs for Ash Wednesday. I like that hat.

I'm weathering the stormage in SW Ohio this morning under the protection of a Gus Miller and a Drizabone duster.

I like everything about that hat, Jim. Nice complement to the duster as well.
