Hey all!
Tis the season for green hats!
This Alpenland Trachten that I got a few days ago is quite green. Even has a great seasonal color name...cypress!

It's a mystery as to where in the German speaking world it was made. All there is is a tip sticker and a generic looking factory tag. No stamps on the thin unreeded green sweat.

The felt is thick, stiff (especially the underwelted brim) and has a coarse, hairy feel to the hand. I thought maybe a wool blend, but then I have a P. & C. Habig with a similar finish. Having no experience with European wools or blends I can't say for sure, but it is much more pliable than the Litefelt and Dynafelt hats I have had in the past.
I wonder if I can find a tiny string of lights to put on it...:)
Have a great day!

It's a very nice hat. I've had only 1 green hat, It was a Borsalino Avgvsta. I should have kept it.

Mallory Aristocrate this morning for services. It's Christmas time so Santa / Coco Cola ties for now.

Fantastic Aristocrate Bill. I should dig out my Christmas ties. Maybe I should hunt for some vintage ones from the 40s/50s.

Champ to cover from the cold

It wasn't too cold, so I retired the coat. View attachment 97511
That is one sweet Champ '65. Nice ribbon work on that one. Great suit jacket, goes well with the hat.

Silverbelly Akubra Camp Draft

Dang, I like that hat.

Went out for errands in our bitter cold snap. It has been cold like Minnesota for over a week. No snow, but damn...
Heavy black overcoat and my Barbisio "Rat Gondin" (Nutria) Homburg. This hat's diminutive lines just called for a sporty diamond crease. A playful Lobbia!

Well with storm ana nearing, it didn't flown away.
Still a WIP.
