Mike and his wife just had a baby a couple of weeks ago. He was back at the shop only 3 days later... He is probably a little sleep deprived. I'm going down for a visit on Thursday and I will report back.

No worries. I get that in the big picture hats aren’t all that important. Just give him my congratulations and tell him that his work is worth the wait.

Outstanding!! You got it. That’s a fine looking hat as well! A near twin. What is it? Pics, headshots, insides, plenty please.
Be well. Bowen

With pleasure! Will post in 'New Hats' thread as it was a very recent purchase. Made by Beaverbrook Hats. Not much history. But there is a hint of history that the manufacturer was located in Connecticut.

Nice new hat. How do you like it compared to the Akubra? Maybe post a review?
Wear it in good health
Johnny

The beaver fur is extremely soft and nicer to the touch than my Akubras. I do think the Akubras will probably stand up to a beating a little better, but this is by far the most sophisticated styling of any hat I own. My go-to is and probably will still be my Fed IV Deluxe though. The Stetson is great suit hat and will probably be my dressy go-to. The sweatband of my Fed IV is much nicer than the one on the Stetson, which I am a little disappointed by. The felt on the Stetson, although soft to the touch, is a little stiff, which is probably fine considering the shape of the hat is important to its look and the stiffness will keep the shape in place. Overall, I would give it a 7.6 if a 10 is a perfect hat. That score takes into account the value at the price point and everything. If I had to do it over again, I would probably buy it again as I am very happy with the purchase. I did forget when I picked out the color that I had a gray Mallory Holburg coming from a fellow member, but I could probably find different uses for the two hats.

Nice Twenty. Love that ribbon color. 1950s?

Very late 50s to early 60s is my guess. Nice Mode Edge to it and the felt is superior.

I was just looking at these in the last week or so. It appears these two sites still offer them:

Good luck!

Thank you!

Enjoying my new find, a vintage Lee Trinity in pristine condition that fits my oversized head. I didn't think they existed!

That jacket is really stunning Michael. Lots of details to behold. Love the color on the 'burg.

Thanks Red. The jacket is a good design for transitional weather. It buttons to the collar if needed and has great pockets for biking. Love your panama, great band on it.

Thanks,
Michael

I really like that hat... and it matches your beard stunningly too.

NewJack said:
Oh my! That color!! Sweet!

Thanks gentlemen. It's one of my favorites.

Realized that today is the ninth day since a stiff felt, so the Extra Quality Knox from about the 1910s gets to come out to play.

Marvelous Monday!
