Thanks for the response, much appreciated! Garrr, now where’s me rum (just practising my fisherman speak). I think I saw you on VLF, is it down?

I have been eyeing the Beerenberg up as the weather gets cooler. Do you find that it retains its shape over time? I like a trim fit with a long sleeve baselayer underneath. Is the fit true to size or size up or size down? looks good on you in the photo BTW!

When it gets windy or rainy, I tend to reach for the Akubra Campdraft due to its indestructability or at least, the fact that it can be replaced. Homage to Bob And more classic (although Bob’s brim up is something of a classic in itself) Is it Friday yet?

That is something else, real présence with the Mallory, beautiful.

Super Classy

Danku wel Stefan. Brim is 5 cm. It is a really nice felt, both in colour and hand. If the brim were a little bigger, I might live in that hat .

Stingy brim Borsalino from 1963 (hat came with original sales slip) in a heather felt.

Dunn & Co

Beautifully done, from strength to strength.

Dobbs Twenty I picked up in a Wyoming cowboy outfitters this summer. I need to steam the front brim or something as it is a little flat. It was on a shelf for a looong time according to the shop as everyone wanted real cowboy hats. Happy Friday!!

Grey homburg, very classy.

Borsalino (French market)

Thank you Stefan. This is one of my favourite hats with a light, grey blue felt. I have another one in a blue beaver, but the crown on that one is lower and slightly less boxy, more classically French in style compared to the taller American ones (which I favour) of the same era. Having said...
