That's a beauty of a Floridian 40 Cal! I love that shade of grey. On my monitor it looks a bit deeper in tone than dove grey. And the ribbon's a knockout!

That is a beaut. I was looking at a Floridian on Ebay a while ago, didn't pull the trigger. Is it at least a light weight felt to earn such a "tropical" name?

I love the "Hatters To Men" inscription on the sweat

Thanks Robert. I'll agree.
Thanks Bob. It's vying for that position with me too, certainly on the condition front. I have a few hats I really like now and it would be tough to pick an overall favorite.
Thanks Anthony. But now I'm getting paranoid about sweating in it, or worse yet splashing my coffee on it. I guess they are risks it will have to endure as I certainly plan on wearing it. The Hatters to Men is certainly an entertaining slogan, but the part of the logo that caught my eye is "Styled by Wormser" . Did they manufacture all of their hats? I think they were a retail chain and manufacturer, right?
Thanks all,
Michael

they did have a brick and mortar store ... multiple maybe ... not sure if they manufactured all their hats .. I'm sure Steve or Alan knows ... I do know that the name was not pronounced as it read ... I've heard it pronounced "Vermsah"
yeah man ... don't go eating any Buffalo Wings when wearing that piece ...
I hate to baby hats ... but I will admit that there are some that I wear more gently than others ... I'm wearing one today ...

Cool. Is that a find from your flea market search yesterday? If it is, you must've been wearing your lucky hat again. Good to see you posting.

Wormser Supreme Quality.
5 1/2" crown
2 1/2" bound brim
Great piece. A little roomy, but I'm not going to let that bother me. Pretty wonky when I received it, especially the brim. Not having a 7 3/8 flange, I had to make do with the table and hand shaping. This is my first Wormser, and I'm delighted.
Open crown
Innards
The results
I still need to reattach the wind trolley, which had become detached and was reattached wrong.
Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Color scheme kind of reminds me of a peanut butter cup...
A Wormser is definately on my list.
