What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Dlaniger]

Celebrating a new Homburg in the stable today. I didn't even brush it, it fit so nice out of the box from Holland, I wore it to the store. 1930s Hut Schick from Austria in a beautiful dark olive green. Looks black until the sunlight hits it. Felt is most likely hare, soft as a baby's patootie. I'll get some more detailed images this evening. A quick Google translation of Hut Schick = Chic Hat, it certainly is.

That’s a clean looking Hommie, Red. A true classic.

Did someone say brims up for Bob?

This is Bad Ass!!!

I left it all up to Art. All I said is that I didn’t want it to be a western thin ribbon. Good things happen when you let artists do what they think is best.

Partly sunny skies but chose my Dobbs beater. Even the ugly ones need some love.

I fail to see the ugliness in that hat.
Or were you talking about something else? [emoji2]

Brother, you must wake up every day with a stupid grin and a need to pinch yourself to make sure you’re not dreaming.

As a matter of fact I occasionally break out in spontaneous laughter. People look at me strangely.

Haha, thanks! It actually cleaned up pretty well with some steam and a brush compared to when I first received it. The seller said it was grey but after cleaning it I see a bit more of a brownish hue.

Today's pics actually make it look pretty good, but it has it's issues. The liner is pretty stained and worn through in a couple spots, and there are quite a few moth nibbles throughout the body. I asked the seller about mothing before buying it, but he obviously was unfamiliar with the term as he told me there wasn't any evidence (or just flat out lied). The bash is also kind of wonky. I was able to improve it after the steam, but it still needs some work. Old memories are hard to remove. Once I learn some more and gain self confidence in maintenance/repair I'll probably use this hat for practice.

All in all it's a good serviceable hat. I got it cheap and knew it would take a little TLC to make it presentable. I plan to wear it with my trench coat in rainy weather, but as I was walking out the door today I just had the urge to give it some love in the sun.

Biltmore does it right with their hemp products new and old. Can't go wrong with them for everyday wear. Glad to see you you enjoying your new environment.

I'll tell you the same thing I said to Max. You look like you could use some snow!

Just a little darker shade of brown and he will reach Nirvana.

I used to brown well in the summer... until the dr had to start cutting melanoma chunks out of the back of my thigh.

Today I'm trying out the hatless look I may be going for next week when the highs are supposed to be around -10 F, if we are lucky.

Beater or not; good looking hat. Nice outfit too!

Hückel Weilheim "Lutra" possible mid to late 1950s.

Very nice, Steve. I like the deep black and contrasting ribbon and brim binding. Lutra translates as "otter"; is there any other indication or information that this is an otter felt?

Great shape and colour, Reggie. You do that brim up thing very well!

Maviso homburg in blue yesterday. Good to see some familiar faces returning to the lounge: both Anthony and Karl making their appearance. Are they harbingers of the second coming (or third; I lost count) of Bob? Let's hope so!

Stefan, Thank you! The "Lutra" name goes back to JHS. I am fairly certain Otter fur was never used. It's probably related to the finish, similar to "Seal Velour". Super looking Maviso Homburg from you today!
