As I get ready for the weekly grocery shopping trip. Brrr. Some Harris over Harris to warm the hackles for the outing.

EXTRA Splendid, Michael! There's just something about a brim curl like that...

Alright... First things first: I kinda think that I'm too... well... "portly" to wear a trilby or stingy brim (whatever term you prefer). Today I don't care. I'm channeling my inner thin guy.

I suppose that someone may have brutalized this hat and converted it to a trilby. That was my initial thought, but the more I look at the brim stitching and wear on the edge of the overwelted felt, the less confident I am about that. There are threads on the Lounge noting that very narrow brim hats were offered much earlier than the 1960s. So it's kind of intriguing.

Regardless... nothing I can do about its trilbytude so I'm gonna love it anyway. It ain't the hat's fault if it was mutilated.

This Stack in "Bahama Blue" showed up on eBay as a "Buy It Now" earlier this week. It is a model without the nifty cushion venting system. The Mac Lachlan felt is some of the nicest I've ever laid my hands on.

Have a Therrific Thursday.

Think what you will about that tiny little brim, Matt... there's still a definite COOL factor knowing it's a Mac-made Stack!

The color is similar to the MAcLachlan I have. See!!

I had a Dobbsburger once. It was delicious.

Seriously, that's a homburg with its own special flair. Great shape on that one, ya!

Good to see you in the thread, Esther. Looks like you and the hat made it through it.
A little snow this morning. Nothing compared to what Charlie and Adrian are seeing.
Adam Pacesetter for this fine and frigid Thursday.

Love to see Reddi Kilowatt make an appearance. Great Adam Jim.

I love this one Matt! Very interesting Stack offering, great color and liner. The hat band goes with the hat and gives it character, but is not my favorite part of the hat. What a great find! Embrace the Stingy!

Cheers!

Beautiful Cav David. Does it have the store address in the liner? Really cool.

Nice old Stetson Richard, I dig the substantial cords on that thin ribbon.

The brim curl on that Dobbs is killer. Great look, love the overcoat.
