Stratoliner tonight for a long gig where comfort was paramount.

A nice selection Stefan. A long day of trying on different hats often wears me out too. Ha ha.

Interesting choice, Perry. I had already taken my photos of the day with my choice of a Donegal Tweed cap when I saw this one on you. Great minds, or small world, or whatever.

Hats of Ireland in Castlebar. If I've found the right history they may have been a Stetson licensee during the 1960s.

Off for a trip downtown to the library in a little while.

Stefan, Thank you! Again a great series of hats from you. Fantastic color combos!
Thanks you, Steve!

Thanks Stefan!
Yes, my Whippet was on top.of it. (bad dog! :D) I thought I had steamed and brushed it out. I guess I missed a spot.
Have to keep an eye out for these Whippets! They're so popular they start to think they can get away with anything. I find that these special finished felts don't take well to other hats being stacked on top of them (gives me the problem that I don't know where to leave them all).

Hat made in the sixties has one of the most interesting felts among those in my collection for softness and lightness

The edge of the brim is "feltrato" ie without seams or cuts, called in the USA "Cavanagh edge"

Nobody does the shark gill bow quite like Barbisio. Flawless.

Wool Hat with no company mark but possibly made by "Karl Misik - O. F. Hess Husinec, Czechoslovakia" for export. My guess is this NOS hat was a pre WWII left over. The hat was part of my March 2015 Czech find.

This is the O.F. Hess Hat Box that contain this hat along with many others.
