Good day folks.
This morning found me taking along a grey Stetson Stratoliner (50's vintage) for dog exercise. Sweet hat.
Best, Eric -
Newly arrived from mattface, Thank you.
The green end of teal.
Very close to this old Borsalino back-bow baby-sized(54.5) hat.

I like that color for you. It even coordinates well with your wall treatments. Good choice for spending time in that room at your dwelling.Originally Posted by rlk

Nice hat. Eric -
Beautiful old hat, Steve. Can you share a little more about the restoration project at Optimo.1920s A. Peschel Austrian Velour restored by Optimo
these photos are some photos i took, and were taken up in sedona and old scottsdale.
photo of my sister and i in sedona.
the famous chimney rock
having butter beer with this old fellow, now thats a hat he's wearing.
i added a few photos of where i was at for enjoyment.
really like this hat aureliano. Really like the edge binding. Definately clean linesMike, you wear brown hats really well! David, that Alessandria looks great!
For me, my super new-to-me Stetson Belmont.
Alan, Thanks! A while back I purchased this hat from MJones (FL poster). The hat had been badly hacked up by an insane (being kind) milliner. MJones sent it to Optimo and they replaced everything but the felt. I think some of the parts could have been salvaged but Optimo tends to go overboard in removing everything. The original size was 58cm so that stayed the same. I am pretty sure this is the only old (pre 1940s) A. Peschel on the FL. Here are some photos of the original parts that MJones sent me.
The liner actually has the German town name (Neutitschein -> Novy Jicin) so this is probably from just after WWI.

Great to see the parts and glad that you were able to retain them. Optimo is not encouraging about re-using original finishings in a renovation. My much later A. Peschel velour is a beautiful felt... I can only imagine the quality in this venerable old example. Thanks for posting.
Looks great, Ale!

I don't know about you, but I am starting to feel like I need to go on an after Thanksgiving hat diet.
